At the same time, our protagonist offers up to 6 colors of primrose gold, mint green, cherry blossom powder, ice crystal blue, obsidian black, and frost silver. Thus, users can choose from more colorways.
One of the selling points of the Huawei Pocket S is the 6.9-inch foldable display. It has almost the same width on all sides. The key parameters of the screen include a screen ratio of 21:9, 442ppi pixel density, 1.07 billion colors, P3 wide color gamut, adjustable refresh rate at up to 120Hz, ultra-high touch sampling rate of 300Hz, and 1440Hz PWM dimming.
The phone also has a small circular external screen, which displays various information. We can mention notifications, camera photos, calls, music playback, etc.
Also, the phone is the world’s first to use a multi-dimensional linkage lifting water drop hinge. The latter forms a water drop-shaped screen space at the bending point.
Though this is the world’s cheapest clamshell smartphone, it uses tons of innovative materials. Among them, we can mention zirconium-based liquid metal and MIM steel material, which reaches the highest strength in the industry. It’s developed by the company and is impact-resistant, non-deformable, tough, and durable.
Due to these materials and such a structure, the Huawei Pocket S can withstand 400,000 folding.
The main camera of the phone consists of two sensors. One of them is a 40-megapixel RYYB super-sensitive lens, which increases the amount of light by 40% compared to RGGB. In effect, it is capable of recording details clearly in low-light environments. The second sensor has a 13MP resolution and a wide viewing angle.
You can take selfies through the 10.7MP camera on the front without unfolding the handset.
There is a built-in 4000mAh battery that supports 40W Huawei super-fast charging. Turbo mode can charge the handset by 52% in 20 minutes.
The phone features the Snapdragon 778G chip. It’s a classic mid-ranger found on many famous phones. Unfortunately, it supports only 4G connectivity. Of course, this phone runs the latest version of HarmonyOS 3.0.
There are three memory configurations: the 128GB variant costs 5988 yuan ($821), the 256GB is priced at 6488 yuan ($890), and the 512GB mode is priced at 7488 yuan ($1027). They will start shipping on November 10.
