First, the preface: will lead the trend Huawei P series also has a folding screen
Looking at Huawei's flagship mobile phone product line, the Mate series and P series have always been reflected in each other.
The two series once performed their respective duties, the Mate series was more business, representing the height of the brand, and the P series was more fashionable, representing the strength of scientific and technological innovation, but in the past two years, it has gradually integrated, and both design and technology are increasingly shared.
On the folding screen, there was only the Mate series before, and now it has finally arrived at the P series, which is the new Huawei P50 Pocket.
Huawei P50 Porcket, Chinese named Huawei P50 Treasure Box, is Huawei's first folding screen phone.
After the first two generations of folding screen mobile phones were classified into the Mate series, the P series launched another screen folding solution mobile phone, which also seemed to be a natural success.
On how to do a good job of folding screen mobile phones, Huawei has added more thinking about the pain points of the industry. The smaller bending radius makes the Huawei P50 Pocket more light and thin, the thickness after folding is 15.2mm, and the screen is more flat, which also makes it possible for users to use the folding screen mobile phone as the main machine.
It is difficult to imagine that a folding screen mobile phone can almost fit the upper and lower screens, and Huawei has finally achieved technological success on the P50 Pocket through the technical accumulation of the previous two generations of Mate X series folding screens. The self-designed patented water drop hinge technology, coupled with the multi-dimensional linkage lifting structure, makes the Huawei P50 Pocket perfectly realize the seamless folding form.
6.9-inch foldable flexible inner screen, with 442ppi, 1.07 billion colors and P3 global color management, 21 to 9 screen ratio is more suitable for viewing, with 120Hz intelligent refresh rate, 1440Hz high-frequency PWM dimming and 300Hz touch sampling rate, the screen display is smooth, and the touch is more accurate.
In terms of hardware, P50 Pocket also has the same primary color engine, computational optics and other flagship imaging capabilities as the P50 series, and big supports XD Fusion Pro hyperspectral imaging technology, which makes the details and contrast comprehensively improved, the color reproduction is true, and the excellent hover angle of the screen brings more shooting fun.
As a folding screen mobile phone, Huawei P50 Pocket also brings a lot of surprises to users on the outer screen, through the outer screen can achieve innovative interactive experience, without opening the phone can also get notifications, schedule, weather, payment and other main functions, open the phone after the main screen continues the external screen function, this is Huawei's surprise left to the user on the P50 Pocket.
Next, we may wish to experience the Huawei P50 Pocket together to see if this "P series folding flagship" can satisfy our picky appetite.
Second, the appearance: one mirror and one phase + 6.9 inch folding screen flexible screen
Huawei P50 Pocket is a 6.9-inch flexible OLED screen after unfolding, from the front side alone and the P50 standard version can hardly see the difference, center punched front lens design, four sides of the border is almost equal width.
Although it is a folding screen, the Huawei P50 Pocket still has a strong sense of immersion.
Above the front-facing knockout lens is a hidden earpiece. The open hole is concealed, it is difficult to detect the front view, and the earpiece position can only be faintly seen at the characteristic angle.
The chin, which is almost the same width as the brain gate, is still excellent in width performance, and due to the reflection of the metal border, the actual appearance is narrower than in the photo.
When placed on the desktop, the Huawei P50 Pocket can achieve 90 ° hovering, due to its own weight relationship, when held in the hand, the hover angle is much larger than when placed on the desktop.
The most eye-catching thing on the back of the fuselage is the "one mirror and one phase" camera module design, the upper module is 3 rear shooting lenses and 1 flash, and the lower module is a screen that can touch and display notifications and other messages.
When the screen is closed, this small screen can act as a secondary screen, and the orientation can change with the direction of the fuselage. Of course, the most direct role is to open the rear camera lens, and the imaging effect will be displayed directly in this screen, which is the "rear selfie".
The Huawei logo is printed on the hinge of the fuselage. Thanks to Huawei's self-designed patented water drop hinge technology and multi-dimensional linkage lifting and unfolding structure, huawei P50 Pocket has excellent folding performance.
With the screen closed, with excellent hinges, the Huawei P50 Pocket achieves a perfect gapless folding form.
In the closed state, the fuselage opening is unobstructed, with only one noise reduction opening at the top and a speaker opening and Type-C interface at the bottom.
Third, experience: 21:9 screen Play the game field of view is wider
------------------
Huawei P50 Pocket is equipped with a 6.9-inch foldable flexible inner screen with a screen ratio of 21:9, 442ppi with 1.07 billion colors and P3 global color management, the display effect is very delicate.
We all know that there is a physical "bug" in the current mobile game, that is, if the screen ratio is larger than that of ordinary mobile phones, then there is more field of view in the game.
Taking "Glory of kings" as an example, there is no superfluous option in the setting, and in the game, the screen is wider than that of ordinary mobile phones, and the position of the operation buttons is also closer to the middle than that of ordinary mobile phones.
In the mobile game version of the game "League of Legends", we still chose the default performance mode in the settings, but in the actual game, the display range of the Huawei P50 Pocket is still wider than that of ordinary mobile phones.
In The Peace Elite, this is still the case. Considering that it is impractical for game manufacturers to optimize the picture for each mobile phone, mobile phones like Huawei P50 Pocket are inherently more suitable for playing games than other mobile phones.
——Small screen experience
As we mentioned earlier, huawei P50 Pocket uses a rear module of "one mirror and one phase", and a circular touchable screen under the camera, which can replace the main screen to complete many things.
In addition to the common time display, the front screen of the Huawei P50 Pocket also has 4 functions, namely playing music, weather, mirror and camera, of which time and weather directly display simple content, and mirrors, cameras, and music need to be clicked into to use.
It should be noted that after entering any of the five functions on the outer screen, after expanding the mobile phone, the main screen will continue to display the content of the outer screen just now, so as to achieve seamless docking between functions.
- Battery life
Huawei P50 Pocket's battery is 4000mAh, considering that the folding screen will consume more power, let's take a look at its actual performance.
The test used the Battery Dog APP produced by Fast Technology, which can simulate daily browsing the web, playing videos and high-frequency games.
In the actual test, the test lasted 5 hours, 47 minutes and 09 seconds, and consumed 99% of the power.
The Huawei P50 Pocket has a charging rate of 40W, and during our charging process, the first 30 minutes of charging are around 65%, and the full charge time is around 65 minutes.
4. Image: three-camera module + fluorescence photography
Compared with the standard version of P50, Huawei P50 Pocket has newly added XD Fusion Pro hyperspectral imaging technology, which can provide more detail and contrast for the picture, and the image capabilities have been fully upgraded, of course, Huawei's super algorithm has also appeared on the Huawei P50 Pocket.
Here we briefly talk about what XD Fusion Pro is.
XD Fusion Pro is a new image engine launched by Huawei, before the Huawei P40 Pro+ used XD Fusion, and now we finally see the Pro version.
XD Fusion Pro consists of three major processing modules, namely hardware input, machine vision and neural network processing, not just a data engine, but a powerful combination of hardware and algorithms.
Through the processing of three major processing modules, the image processing work on the Sensor starts from the RAW domain, and the whole process is calculated to the photo generation, bringing high-fidelity image information and accurate image semantics and segmentation, and finally achieving the purpose of improving the overall image quality. Simply put, it is to make the blue sky more like the blue sky, the flowers more like the flowers, the bokeh, dynamic range, details and colors are more realistic.
Compared with the previous generation of XD Fusion, the Pro version has a deeper adjustment in brightness, color and even detail and sense of hierarchy, imagine the real color reproduction performance beyond huawei P40 Pro+, this is the performance improvement brought by XD Fusion Pro, let's take a look at the sample.
We chose the night scene automatic mode straight out, and there is no excessive adjustment, from the edge of the picture to the focus position, you can clearly see the process of picture optimization.
After adjusting for noise and exposure, the dynamic range and purity of the focus position have been greatly improved, so let's zoom in.
After the screen is enlarged, the scope of algorithm optimization can be clearly seen.
Because the shooting location is northern, there is a certain fog at night, especially around the building, especially the illuminated building, the light hits the fog, it is inevitable that it will be shrouded in a layer of reticle, but in the imaging effect after the Huawei P50 Pocket is enlarged, we have not found obvious reticle traces, and even the stars on the background of "big corn" are clearly visible.
We got a little closer. With the shortening of the distance, the details on the big corn are more abundantly displayed, and it can be seen that the light effect between the floors is not as dense as when viewed from a distance, and the gaps between the light strips are captured by the Huawei P50 Pocket, and the gap between the light strips at the bottom and the light strips at the top are obviously different.
This method of suppressing the light overexposure can also be seen on the P50 series mobile phone, maintaining the sense of atmosphere can also restore the true color of the light, this subtle algorithm is not an easy task.
It is not difficult to see from the performance of the night scene that the rear imaging of the Huawei P50 Pocket is not as good as the P50 Pro, but due to the addition of XD Fusion Pro, we can even shoot strong light sources directly at night, and a light strip on a number of light sources, which is a clever combination of hardware and algorithms.
Huawei's P50 Pocket integrates flagship imaging capabilities such as the primary color engine of the P50 series and computational optics, and in terms of imaging effects, it is also biased towards realism rather than deliberate smearing to please users.
We took this set of photos around 5 p.m., the sun was about to set at 5:30 p.m. in the northern winter, and it was already evening at 5 a.m.
In the middle of the photos we took, we can clearly see the change of light in different directions, and at the same time there is a significant blur in the position close to the lens, and the mobile phone automatically sets the focus on the difference between the branches, which can show the change of light and shadow and the depth of the scene at the same time, which is very close to the real visual perception.
The afterglow of the setting sun is unevenly sprinkled everywhere in sight, and this scene of light and shadow is one of the most characteristic and most tested scenes of winter.
In the performance of huawei P50 Pocket, it is not difficult to see that the less intense sunlight dyes the building group into different colors, but the mobile phone does not amplify this difference, but retains the most real color, showing the color that it should be.
Slightly enlarge the picture, when shooting with a 5 times lens, the picture detail increases at the same time, the light and shadow effect is more completely preserved, and even the outline of time and shadow on the screen can be faintly seen, which is the closest to the scenery seen by the human eye.
Sunset is one of the most beautiful scenery in winter, when shooting we also caught up with the unique winter fish scale clouds, the sun carries the layers of light changes on the clouds, although beautiful, but also more test the imaging ability of the mobile phone.
Judging from the samples, the Huawei P50 Pocket still retains the original color of the sky very well, the golden clouds in the distance are layered, and the details are also faintly visible, which is not an easy task to see the details at this distance.
(2 times)
(5 times)
We used the 2X lens and the 5X lens to pull the picture in slightly, and the details of the picture were not lost, and even after pulling in the lens, we could see the lighting arrangement in the opposite office building, and even the 5X lens could achieve real color reproduction.
We lock the focus on the stone pillars by the bridge, and the bokeh of the background is naturally distinguished from the focus, and the texture and vicissitudes on the stone pillars are not hidden by the lack of light.
When we manually adjust the focus of the picture to the back building, the bokeh of the stone pillar is not as serious as the above picture, this intentional approach is not good or bad, but it can definitely be regarded as one of the features of the Huawei P50 Pocket.
In terms of macro lenses, the performance of the Huawei P50 Pocket is not as amazing as the main lens, but it is still in the top level range of the same grade mobile phone.
When shooting macro, there is no need to manually adjust the picture parameters, just close the phone close enough to the object you need to shoot, the Huawei P50 Pocket can automatically adjust to macro mode.
V. Summary: It may be the strongest folding screen image flagship
Overall, the Huawei P50 Pocket may be the strongest folding screen image flagship at present.
Due to the improvement of teardrop hinge technology, with the multi-dimensional linkage lifting interface, Huawei P50 Pocket achieves a perfect gapless folding form when closed, while ensuring that bending marks are minimized, and the screen after opening and closing is smooth and smooth, and it is difficult for the naked eye to see the traces on the screen.
On the other hand, the super rear triple camera combination plus XD Fusion Pro makes the imaging of Huawei P50 Pocket have a super color reproduction ability, what you see is what you get, neither too much to please users to adjust the color too gorgeous, nor will it suppress the original color of the picture.
Especially the adjustment of light and details during night shooting, it can be said that it perfectly shows how the Huawei P50 Pocket finds a balance between hardware and algorithms.
Unlike other folding screen products on the market, the external screen of Huawei P50 Pocket is not independent of the main screen, but is related to each other.
The addition of the touchable outer screen solves the problem of frequently opening the main screen when there is a notification every day, and the function that can be used on the outer screen can continue to be used after opening the main screen, and it can be said that the outer screen is an extension of the main screen.
In the game side experience, Huawei P50 Pocket's 21:9 screen can be said to have its own physical plug-in, narrow screen brings a wider game field of view, this advantage can be used in the current mainstream games, it can be said that it is amazing.
If huawei Mate X series is more business-oriented, then the P50 Pocket is Huawei's trendy light luxury for young people. If you pursue trend and personality, you must not miss this Huawei P50 Pocket.
