In the summer of 2021, Huawei's P50 series finally stood on the front desk, which can also be regarded as a calm for everyone. At the end of the year, to the surprise of most people, Huawei brought the P50 Pocket - an irresistible craft aesthetic work, both inside and outside, directly hit the hearts of the public.
As Huawei's first vertically folding flagship phone, the Huawei P50 Pocket has too many stories to talk about. It once again broke through the boundaries of technology and art, and joined hands with Dutch designer Iris Van Herpen to create an art custom version; it has an XD Fusion Pro hyperspectral imaging system, which makes the rear selfie effect more beautiful and natural; it makes itself a charm "treasure box" that moves in the palm of the hand through the intelligent interactive experience of HarmonyOS, and it is also a "key" to unlock a new way of fashion life.
No one would turn down a "work of art"
After more than ten years of development, although smart phones have made continuous breakthroughs in performance, imaging, networking, etc., the "one-thousand-machine side" rigid design has been unable to meet the needs of users for large-screen and diversified. In 2019, the first Huawei folding screen mobile phone Mate X opened people's infinite imagination of the future smartphone form, setting off a revolution in the form of smart phones. Subsequently, Huawei has maintained its pursuit of quality, aesthetics, art and innovation, and has continuously innovated and explored on the road of folding form.
