The Huawei P50 Pocket is no longer a China exclusive and is now confirmed to be coming to Europe as well. Huawei has been focusing on its Mate X series of book-style foldable phones, but it’s finally time to see its first horizontally hinged phone, called the Huawei P50 Pocket.
When will the Huawei P50 Pocket launch?
Huawei officially released the P50 Pocket in China on December 23, 2021. The phone was initially thought to be a China exclusive, followed by pre-orders in Asia-Pacific markets including Malaysia on January 12, 2022.
What are the specifications of the Huawei P50 Pocket?
The best photos of the P50 Pocket before its release, oddly enough, came from the Chinese version of Harper’s Bazaar, which took photos with the phone and shared them on Weibo. The P50 Pocket Premium, which features a textured and polished gold finish, was designed in collaboration with haute couture designer Iris Van Herpen.
Aside from the obvious bling, another key difference between it and the standard model — its white diamond-shaped “3D micro-engraved design” — is the inclusion of 12GB of RAM instead of 8GB and 512GB of storage instead of 256GB.
Other than that, both phones have a similar external hardware layout and the same internal structure, with two circular elements on the outer surface: one hosts the Pocket’s main triple “hyperspectral camera matrix”, while the other features The circular 1.04 in the touchscreen display, like the Razr and Z Flip before it, can display things like time, notifications, and more, and it doubles as a camera viewfinder.
This unusual rear camera setup is led by a 40Mp ‘True-Chroma’ sensor, a 13Mp 120° ultra-wide sensor and a 32Mp ‘Hyperspectral camera’, the latter being paired with the unit’s ’10-channel multispectral sensor’ and “Hyperspectral illuminators” – which can capture and display wavelengths of light beyond the range of natural human vision through fluorescence mode.
The system also offers a sunscreen mode that more clearly highlights the sunscreened and unprotected areas of your face.
