'Huawei,' the China-based mobile phone manufacturer, has debuted the 'Huawei P50 Pocket,' the newest in its line of foldable smartphones. With a stylish design, the P50 Pocket folds vertically and closes to the size of a small square, allowing it to fit in nearly any pocket. Previous foldable phones from Huawei have featured a dual-screen horizontal fold system where the folded size is equal to a regular smartphone.
The design of the P50 Pocket is stylish and features an embellished pattern of waves and lines that make the phone's backplate resemble luxury jewelry. The colors that have been announced so far are metallic gold and metallic silver, which reinforce the luxury design of the smartphone. The back of the smartphone features a small circular display next to the camera, which can display small widgets, such as a clock, when the phone is folded. The technical specifications of the Huawei P50 Pocket have yet to be released.
