Huawei Pocket S has been launched with an affordable price tag. Foldable phones are getting more and more mainstream now. In a few years, we will be seeing more folding phones in the wild. Huawei started with their Mate series and now they have come up with their clamshell devices under the umbrella of the Pocket series. Although Huawei doesn’t have access to all the global markets now, they are still dishing out competitive phones.
Specifications
The device is powered by the Snapdragon 778G. This is one of the first foldable phones with a midrange chipset. The outer display is a 1.04″ OLED screen with a resolution of 340×340. Moreover, the inner display is a 6.9″ OLED display with a resolution of 2790×1188. The main screen has a 120Hz refresh rate as well. In addition, the fingerprint scanner is baked into the power button on the side.
The camera system comprises a 40MP main sensor. In addition, it is accompanied by a 13MP ultra-wide sensor. The Huawei Pocket S packs a 4000 mAh battery with 40W charging. Adding on, the Pocket S runs HarmonyOS 3. Lastly, there will be two configurations of the device. Both will have 8GB RAM and either 128GB or 256GB of internal storage. The price of the device is set at $820.
Thoughts
Huawei’s clamshell Pocket S comes with decent specifications on paper. Moreover, it has a distinctive design as well. There are some pros and cons of the device. Firstly, the pros include the 120Hz OLED display, large battery with fast charging, and a decent camera setup at the rear. However, the cover screen is not adequate for performing useful tasks. The outer screen should have been a bit larger and more functional. The performance will be decent but not out of this world. The Snapdragon 778G can perform well if optimized well. However, that is yet to be seen. Let us know what you think about this folding device.
