Huawei Pocket S2 launch could have been delayed from its expected release in December 2023 to February 2024, according to tipster FixedFocus. The phone was originally scheduled to be launched alongside the Huawei Nova 12 this month, but both launches have reportedly been postponed until next year.
Huawei has made significant strides in the
foldable phone market, offering devices in three distinct categories:
side-folding, in-ward folding, and clamshell-style. Earlier this year, Huawei
launched the Mate X3, followed by the Mate X5, both of which received positive
reviews. The company is now rumored to be working on a new clamshell-style
foldable, possibly the Pocket S2. Tipster DigitalChatStation has even shared an
image of what appears to be a transparent case for the smartphone.
The image suggests that the phone will
have two large circles, larger than those on the Pocket S and P50 Pocket
devices. However, the overall design is expected to be similar to Huawei’s
current vertical foldable phones. Due to the reported delay, we will have to
wait a while longer for the official launch of the Pocket S2. The phone is
expected to be the successor to the Pocket S, which was launched in November
2023.
To recap, the Pocket S comes equipped with
a Qualcomm Snapdragon 778G 4G processor, supported by an adaptive graphene heat
dissipation unit. Likewise, it features
a 6.9-inch OLED panel with a resolution of 2790 × 1188 pixels, a refresh rate
of up to 120Hz, and 1440Hz high-frequency PWM dimming. The display also has a 300Hz touch sampling
rate and supports 1.07 billion colors with a P3 wide color gamut. Additionally,
there’s an external screen with a 1.04-inch 340 × 340 circular OLED display.
Fueling the device is a 4000mAh battery that supports 40W wired charging.
