The announcement of Huawei Pocket S is an extremely useful downgrade

Having found itself the leader in the foldable smartphone market in China (with a 52% share), Huawei decided to consolidate its success by preparing

more affordable solution.So, the premiere of Huawei Pocket S took place in China, which became a simplified version of the P50 Pocket. Moreover, we are dealing with a rare case when simplifications were more beneficial. See for yourself: in addition to the unnecessary “P50” console, the heir parted with the useless 32-megapixel monochrome camera, as well as the expensive, hot and power-hungry Snapdragon 888 chip. Instead, they installed the mid-budget Snapdragon 778G 4G, which, in theory, You will also be pleased with the economical battery consumption, which, by the way, remains the same - 4000 mAh with 40-W charging.

Otherwise, it's still the same P50 Pocket:6.9″ main OLED screen (120 Hz, 1440 Hz PWM), 1″ external, 40-megapixel main camera and 13-megapixel wide camera and a finger scanner at the end. The same, except for the price: simplifications have made it possible to significantly reduce the price tags, because instead of 9,000 yuan, the new product starts at 5,988 (50,640 rubles) for the 8/128 GB version. 8/256 and 8/512 GB options are also available for 6488 and 7488 yuan, respectively. Sales of models with 128 and 256 GB of memory will start on November 10, and the 512 GB version will have to wait until December.

Also brought in some colors. Many: black, silver, beige, blue, green and pink. Also on sale will be special accessories-handbags for carrying, matching the colors of the smartphone.
