Huawei P50 Pocket foldable smartphone unveiled in China #IndiaNEWS #Mobile
Smartphone brand Huawei has unveiled a clamshell-style folding smartphone P50 Pocket that comes with a circular, 1-inch external display for quick access to notifications and widgets.

The device has been launched in China, though US sanctions (which mean Huawei cant use key tech like Googles Android OS) mean the P50 Pocket wont make any impact in the West, The Verge reported on Thursday.

The company teased the handset earlier this month with a photo shoot focused on the P50 Pocket Premium Edition that appeared in Harpers Bazaar China. This version of the device was created by Dutch designer Iris van Herpen.

P50 Pocket has a gold or silver finish and a 3D pattern on the exterior surface thats typical of van Herpens work, resembling feathers or leaves. It is Huaweis third foldable phone, but it is the first to use a clamshell design, the report said. When unfolded, the Pockets OLED screen is 6.9-inches in size, with a 21:9 ratio and 120Hz refresh rate.

The device weighs 190 grams and is just 7.2mm thick. It has a Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 4G SoC, a 4,000mAh battery, and runs Huaweis Harmony OS 2.

The P50 Pockets main camera array has a 40MP main sensor, 13MP wide-angle lens, and 32MP super spectrum lens. Theres a hole-punch camera built into the main display, but Huawei notes that the phones foldable design makes it more convenient to use the main camera for taking selfies.
