Previously, it was reported that Huawei will release a folding screen mobile phone in December, using a folding design similar to the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip3. On December 14, Huawei officially announced that it will hold a winter flagship new product launch conference of "intertwining light and shadow, all things coexisting" on December 23, bringing a new folding screen mobile phone.
This phone is not called the Mate V that broke the news on the Internet, but the P50 Pocket (meaning that it can be easily put into the pocket), that is, it belongs to the P series. Almost certainly, the P50 Pocket is the finale of 2021 for Huawei's mobile phones.
Whether it is Huawei's official warm-up picture or the news on the supply chain side, it can be confirmed that the P50 Pocket will adopt a screen folding design with an up-down and in-fold "clamshell". Huawei Mate X2 effectively solves the crease problem of the folding screen through the double-spin water drop hinge design, and the P50 Pocket will undoubtedly continue to strengthen this.
The previously exposed product appearance information shows that the P50 Pocket draws on the design ideas of the P50 series, and there are two circular openings in the back of the fuselage, and the upper or rear multi-camera module may be a small-size circular secondary screen below.
In terms of hardware configuration, as a P50 series, the P50 Pocket equipped with the Kirin 9000 chip is a nail in the coffin, but it may still be a 4G mobile phone. Of course, there may also be a 5G version, after all, as an emerging type of folding screen mobile phone, coupled with the price is not cheap, the P50 Pocket shipments will not be very large.
Compared with the Mate X2, which has an inner screen size of up to 8 inches and weighs nearly 300 grams, the P50 Pocket is not only more convenient, but also has a more stylish appearance and is more suitable for female users. The market performance of the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip3 is not bad, so many netizens are more optimistic about the market prospects of the P50 Pocket, depending on how Huawei pricing.
Affected by the entity list, Huawei's models released in China this year can be described as a handful.
On February 22, Huawei released the first model of 2021, the folding screen Mate X2, equipped with the Kirin 9000 chip, priced at 16999 yuan.
On July 29, Huawei released the P50 series, which are not only 4G mobile phones, but also only P50 and P50 Pro models, and no oversized cup P50 Pro+.
On September 23, Huawei released the nova9 series, and the nova9 and nova9 Pro are still 4G mobile phones.
On October 20, Huawei released the 1,000 yuan machine Enjoy 20e (4G), priced at 999 yuan (4+64G).
Coupled with the P50 Pocket, which will be released on December 23, Huawei has also released 7 new models in China this year.
In addition, Huawei has released some 4G models this year, such as the 4G version of MateX2, Mate40 Pro, nova8 Pro released in June, etc.; it also released the collector's version (5G) of Mate X2 on November 17, which are "old bottles of new wine" and are difficult to call "new machines".
Even if these models are counted, Huawei will launch more than 10 mobile phones in the domestic market in 2021, not even half of other domestic mobile phone manufacturers, or even less than one-third of some mobile phone manufacturers.
Despite this, Huawei still has not given up the mobile phone business, in addition to the P50 Pocket that will meet with us soon, at the end of the first quarter or the second quarter of next year, the Mate50 series will be released, and the 5G function is also expected to return.
February 22 with Mate X2, December 23 with P50 Pocket, Huawei's mobile phone's 2021, with two folding screen mobile phones echoing end to end, I don't know if it is a coincidence, or Huawei intentionally arranged.
As the finale of Huawei mobile phones in 2021, what surprises will this Huawei P50 Pocket bring to us? Let's wait and see.
