Huawei has kicked off 2022 with a bang with the grand launch of the brand’s latest flagship smartphones, the Huawei P50 Pro and P50 Pro Pocket. While both smartphones are impressive in their own right, the P50 Pocket marks the brand’s expansion into the foldable phone category after the Huawei Mate X—and it comes with a number of exciting upgrades.
Let’s start with the phone’s defining feature—its fold. Whether or not you’re a fan of the whole foldable/flip phone design, the P50 Pocket will draw you (further) into this growing cult. For starters, the phone’s new-generation Multi-Dimensional Hinge mechanism enables it to fold seamlessly with no gap in between the two halves of the screen. This is a huge plus as it prevents the screen from collecting dust, debris, or scratches.
Combining form and function, the P50 Pocket’s foldable design provides users with two independent screens—the Main Screen and the Cover. The former boasts a 6.9-inch Full HD+ OLED panel with a 120Hz refresh rate for a fast, bright, and vibrant display. Meanwhile, the latter 1.04-inch screen takes up one of two circular rings in the phone’s unique Dual-Ring Design—the other of which houses three rear cameras.
This dual-ring setup gives the P50 series a distinctive appeal that makes it instantly recognisable, especially when contrasted against a beautifully textured back panel. Speaking of which, the back panel comes in two variants for the Malaysian market. One is a shiny white hue, characterised by a diamond-like 3D micro-sculpture design on micro-glass. The other is a Premium Edition, designed in collaboration with Haute Couture designer Iris Van Herpen. It features organically flowing patterns in a stunning gold-tone, reflecting organic, kinetic movement.
It’s equipped with three rear cameras including a 40MP True-Chroma Camera, a 13MP Ultra Wide Angle Lens, and a 32MP Ultra Spectrum Camera, on top of the 10-Channel Multi-Spectrum Sensor, Ultra Spectrum illuminator, and AF Laser to capture greater depth and layers for accurate and clear image production. Whether you’re snapping a close-up portrait or scenic landscape, in low light conditions or against backlight, in macro mode or with digital zoom, the P50 Pocket promises to impress with its results. In other words, expect nothing less than cutting-edge photography.
The Huawei P50 Pocket will be available in Malaysia in two variants: White (8GB + 256GB), priced at RM5,999, and Premium Edition (12GB + 512GB), priced at RM7,299.
