Editorial report
Huawei Pocket S 8 GB / 256 GB / China technical sheet
The Huawei Pocket S suits buyers looking for a foldable phone with a high-density display; its main trade-off is a thickness among the greatest of its time. It measures 15.2 mm when folded and 7.2 mm unfolded. The configuration described here pairs 8 GB of RAM with 128 GB of storage, and the phone is also sold with 256 GB.
Its 6.9-inch OLED display has 442 ppi, among the highest display densities of phones of its time. The 120 Hz refresh rate is typical, while the foldable design also includes a secondary display. Performance is better than that of most phones launched around the same time: the Snapdragon 778G records 600,100 points in AnTuTu v10. Connectivity is also better than most, with Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.2, NFC, and dual Nano-SIM support.
The main trade-offs are battery capacity and camera resolution. The 4,000 mAh battery is among the lowest capacities of its time, although 40 W wired charging and wireless charging are included. The camera's 40 MP resolution is lower than that of most phones of its time, and optical image stabilization is absent. The Pocket S also has a 13 MP ultrawide camera and records 4K video at 30 fps. With an overall NeoScore of 5.9, it makes most sense for buyers who prioritize a foldable design, display and connectivity over a slim body, battery capacity or camera resolution.
