Huawei P50 Pocket: Specifications and Features
Starting with the design, the Huawei P50 Pocket is reminiscent of the Galaxy Z Flip 3. One of the main talking points of this foldable is the multi-dimensional hinge, which helps to achieve the seamless, flat and wrinkle-free design. It has a shorter radius and is reportedly more durable than its predecessors. The device is approximately 15mm thick when folded and only 7.2mm thick when unfolded. It weighs 190 grams, which is quite decent for a foldable phone.
It features a 6.9-inch Full-HD+ foldable AMOLED display with a 21:9 aspect ratio and a resolution of 2790 x 1188p. The foldable inner panel also has a 120Hz refresh rate, a 300Hz sampling rate, DCI-P3 color gamut, and HDR support. There’s also a centered selfie camera on board here.
The outstanding feature of the Huawei P50 Pocket is: the double ring design on the outer panel. While one circular ring houses a 1.04-inch smart cover display, the other ring is home to the triple camera setup. Like the Z Flip 3’s cover display, it also displays call/message notifications, calendar updates, music playback controls, and more.
You can also use the outer screen to snap selfies with the main camera. The smart cover display has a refresh rate of 60 Hz and a resolution of 340 x 340p. Check out the cover display of the P50 Pocket in action here:
Moving on to the circular triple camera ring, the device includes a 40MP True-Chroma primary camera, a 13MP ultra-wide lens, and a 32MP Ultra-Spectrum camera with a 120-degree FOV. The cameras on Huawei phones have been a major differentiator and the P50 Pocket looks no different. There are a ton of new camera technologies and features in tow.

You also get up to 12GB of RAM and up to 512GB of onboard storage. There is a 4000 mAh battery to power the P50 Pocket along with support for 40W fast charging.
