The Huawei P50 series launched a few months back, but the brand didn’t unveil the most exciting foldable variant, the Huawei P50 Pocket. As a smartphone that adopts a clamshell design similar to the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip3, it comes as a close competitor to the Z Flip3.
Display
The Huawei P50 Pocket features a 6.9-inch FHD+ OLED display that pushes a refresh rate of 120Hz. It also has an aspect ratio of 21:9 — meaning you can enjoy your movies in its natural form. Other than that, the inner display has a 300Hz sampling touch rate along with DCI-P3 colour gamut and HDR support.
Since this device is part of the P50 series, it will follow the same dual-ring design seen on its siblings but instead of a camera, the bottom ring is actually a 1.04-inch smart cover display.
Camera
On the upper ring lays the triple camera setup which consists of a 40MP True-Chroma Camera, a 13MP ultrawide lens, and a 32MP Ultra Spectrum Camera. For the selfies, the centered punch-hole cutout on the inner display houses a 10.7MP camera.
What’s special about the Ultra Spectrum Camera is that it offers a feature known as the Fluorescence mode which can “capture images imperceptible by the eye”. You can take a look below to get an idea of how it works.
