Editorial report

Huawei P50 Pocket 8 GB / 512 GB / China technical sheet

The Huawei P50 Pocket suits buyers looking for a foldable phone who prioritize a high-density display and powerful hardware. Its folding design is the defining feature; unfolded, the 6.9-inch OLED display offers a 120 Hz refresh rate and 442 ppi. That pixel density is among the highest of phones of its time, while 120 Hz is typical. This version pairs 12 GB of RAM with 512 GB of storage for apps and files. Performance is among the best of its time, and AnTuTu records 900,000 points.

There are clear compromises. At 15.2 mm thick, it is thicker than most phones of its time, and its 4,000 mAh battery has less capacity than most. Its 40 W charging rate, by contrast, is better than most. Google Services are absent, an important distinction for anyone who relies on them. The 40 MP main camera has a typical resolution for its time and lacks optical image stabilization; a 13 MP ultrawide camera is also included. Connectivity is better than most, with Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.2, NFC and dual Nano-SIM.

With a NeoScore of 6.1, the P50 Pocket makes the most sense for buyers who put the foldable design, display and hardware first and can accept its thickness, battery-capacity and Google-services drawbacks.
