The first flip phone from Huawei is now on sale! The Huawei P50 Pocket was designed in collaboration with world-renowned haute couture designer, Iris Van Herpen. It adapts a Multi-Dimensional Linkage Lifting Design hinge technology that minimizes the width of the hinge by making the most of its thickness, allowing for gapless folding on a thinner phone that forms a water-drop-shaped design when folded.
The Huawei P50 Pocket packs a 40MP True-Chroma Camera, a 13 MP Ultra Wide Angle Camera with a 120-degree wide field of view, and a 32 MP Ultra Spectrum Camera. In addition, it features rear camera portrait selfie algorithms and uses the big camera sensor to boost low light performance, allowing for more atmospheric selfies with great detail, even in backlit or low-light environments.
While inside is a Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 4G SoC, 256GB/512GB internal storage that is coupled by either 8GB/12GB RAM, and a huge 4000mAh battery that supports 40W fast charging and 5W reverse wired charging (no wireless charging, unfortunately).
