A little over a month has passed since Huawei announced its first “shell-type” foldable in China until the company decided to launch it globally in Europe and, therefore, in Spain. The Huawei P50 Pocket It is a clear candidate to battle against Samsung’s Galaxy Z Flip 3, and it does so by betting on a more advanced photographic section, but without neglecting the differential features of this type of device.
The format of the P50 Pocket, in fact, is the same as that of the Galaxy Z Flip: a mobile with a flexible screen that folds vertically to make its chassis more compact. In this case, the Huawei folding includes a 6.9-inch flexible OLED panel with Full HD + resolution, an aspect ratio of 21: 9 and a refresh rate of 120 Hz.
Additionally, the Huawei P50 Pocket has a 1.04 inch outer screen. This panel, which is located just below the photographic module and has a rounded design, is not intended for regular use, but rather one-off. For example, it can be useful to see notifications or access relevant information from an app without having to extend the screen, such as directions from Petal Maps, Huawei’s maps application.
Regarding its technical specifications, the P50 Pocket comes with a chipset Snapdragon 888 and RAM and storage configurations that go up to 12 GB and 512 GB, respectively. It also has a battery 4,000 mAh with 85w fast charge. It also includes support for WiFi 6 and Dual SIM networks with only 4G connectivity, just like its brother, the Huawei P50 Pro.
An ultra-spectrum camera capable of capturing more realistic colors
The camera configuration of the Huawei P50 Pocket is somewhat different from that of the Huawei P50 Pro. In this case, the Chinese company’s foldable has three sensors on the back: a 40 megapixel primary sensor, a 13 megapixel ultra wide angle camera and a 32 megapixel ultra spectrum camera.
Precisely, this last camera in the Huawei P50 Pocket is the one that makes the difference, and it is that this sensor promises to capture the scenes with more realistic colors, preventing the processing from interpreting the tones excessively, saturating them, or showing them duller than usual.
Another interesting detail of the Huawei P50 Pocket camera is that it is possible to take selfies with the main sensors. This is possible thanks to a “mirror mode”, which activate the outer screen for preview. However, the folding screen is also accompanied by a 10.7 megapixel resolution sensor for video calls.
Price and availability of the new Huawei P50 Pocket
The Huawei P50 Pocket is available in Spain starting today, January 26, at a price of 1599 euros. It is considerably more expensive than the Galaxy Z Flip 3, whose starting price was 1,059 euros. And, although it is true that the Huawei aims to be superior in some aspects (such as loading speed or photography), that difference of 600 euros, added to the absence of the Play Store and other minor factors, makes it difficult to recommend. this product.
