Huawei just unveiled the Pocket 2, the latest iteration of their popular foldable flip phone. The device boasts upgraded specs, a refined design, and some seriously cool features. Let’s dive into what makes this phone a contender:
Fans of the Pocket S will find a familiar clamshell design, but the Pocket 2 takes it further. It’s built with aerospace-grade materials and water resistant, making it both sleek (just 7.25mm unfolded) and tough. The circular camera modules and cover display give it a signature Huawei look, plus the new leather-backed color options add a touch of luxury.
Under the hood:
- Display: 6.94″ OLED with a 120Hz refresh.
- Processor: Kirin 9000S for speed and power efficiency.
- Cameras: XMAGE quad setup, including a 50MP main shooter with OIS and a hyperspectral lens.
- Battery: 4,520mAh with super-fast wired and wireless charging.
- Cool Extras: TWO-WAY satellite communication for emergencies, and UV Sunscreen test mode to protect your skin.
While it builds on its predecessor, the Pocket 2 isn’t just a minor update. The upgraded hinge construction promises even smoother folding action, while serious storage options (up to 1TB!) mean you’ll never run out of space.
Price and Availability
The Huawei Pocket 2 launches with multiple color choices and storage options, starting at around $1044 USD. Preorders begin February 22nd, 2024, and it hits shelves in China on March 1st. There is no word yet on a global launch, but we could hear the news soon.
