Huawei had certain trouble last year with the many postponements suffered by its Huawei P50 series. However, the company managed to launch the Huawei P50 across international markets. There are certain shortcomings on Huawei flagships due to the multiple rounds of sanctions. For example, the company is unable to ship its devices with 5G support. Despite this, the company keeps trying its best to reconquer the global customers. Today, the brand has officially started the global rollout for the Huawei P50 Pro and Huawei P50 Pocket. The former is the missing device in the duo, while the Huawei P50 Pocket is the company’s new take in the foldable segment.
The first phase of the P50 Pro and P50 Pocket’s global rollout will hit some markets across the Asia Pacific, The Middle East and Africa, Europe, and South America. We are curious to see how these smartphones will perform on global markets, especially due to the lack of 5G connectivity. While the performance and camera will be good, some users may prefer to get a 5G handset to stay future-proof. Moreover, the lack of Google Play Services is always a problem for global customers.
P50 Pocket
The Huawei P50 Pocket arrives as the company’s new take in the foldable segment. Unlike previous Mate X series smartphones, the company goes for a clamshell-like design with this one. It boasts Huawei’s Multi-Dimensional Hinger that has no visible gap when closed. There is an external screen with 1-inch allowing you to interact with notifications, controls, and the cameras. The handset has a triple-camera setup on the Huawei P50 Pocket that consists of a 40 MP main camera, a 13 MP ultrawide, and a 32 MP Spectrum camera for boosting color rendering.
