Huawei has unveiled the latest clamshell foldable, the Pocket 2, which boasts significant improvements. The phone features a waterdrop hinge for zero gap, a first for Huawei, as well as four cameras on its cover, a first for flip foldable phones.
On the interior, the Pocket 2 includes a 6.94” foldable LPTO OLED, while the cover adds a 1.15” circular screen alongside the camera island, featuring a dual-circle symmetric design. The larger display boasts Full HD+ resolution, while the circular screen maintains 340 x 340 pixels.
Although Huawei has remained discreet about its chipsets, the Pocket 2 is expected to be powered by the Kirin 9000S. It is available in 12 GB RAM with storage options of 256 GB, 512 GB, or 1 TB. An Art version of the Pocket 2 is also available, boasting 16 GB of RAM and 1 TB of storage.
The Pocket 2’s main camera is a 50 MP shooter with OIS and f/1.6 aperture, complemented by a 12 MP ultra-wide-angle camera with f/2.2 aperture, and an 8 MP 3x telephoto lens with f/2.4 aperture and OIS. Additionally, a 2 MP UV sensor is included, functioning as a hyperspectral camera to detect UV intensity and provide skincare recommendations.

For the first time, the Pocket 2 supports two-way satellite messaging through Beidou, the Chinese satellite navigation system. It is powered by a 4,520 mAh battery, with capabilities of 40W wireless charging and 66W wired charging. To address heat concerns, Huawei has integrated a VC and multiple graphite layers to improve the device’s thermal conductivity.
