Remember Huawei Pocket S, the cheapest foldable smartphone of 2022?
Another clamshell is coming soon, and it will be called the Huawei Pocket S2, with key specs and color options leaked.
Apart from working on rivals to the iPhone 16 in the face of the Mate 70 series, Huawei isn’t letting go of its flip-style foldable devices in the face of the Pocket S2 (via Gizmochina).
The successor Flip device has been mentioned by Digital Chat Station, an expert tipster on Chinese microblogging website Weibo. According to a tipster’s post, there is information that the Pocket S2 will carry over most of the design elements from the previous model. If this is true and the outside of the Pocket S2 does not evolve, then on the back it is expected that it will be equipped with a triple camera setup in two circular modules. The external panel will also be placed on one of these modules. Like the previous Pocket S, the Pocket S2 may also be released in a special Art Edition. According to Digital Chat Station, this upcoming Pocket S2 may arrive in stores in a gray option with a glass back. There may also be a purple version with a leather back panel. Inside this device will reportedly be his Kirin 9000 chipset that will enable 5G capabilities. A 4,520mAh battery pack can power this device with support for 66W wired fast charging.
The original Pocket S cost a very impressive $800 in 2022 for the base 128GB storage model. The OG featured a gorgeous OLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, a large 4000mAh battery, a 40MP main shooter backed by a 13MP ultra-wide camera, and 8GB of RAM .
One of the few compromises was the processor (Qualcomm Snapdragon 778G), which lacks 5G connectivity.
