Huawei P50 Pocket review: full review, technical sheet, battery life, camera and photo quality

Huawei P50 Pocket – the technological, compact, flagship

The Chinese company Huawei, although it has lost a significant part of its fans due to the ban on using Google services in smartphones, has not lost the accumulated budget funds. The developer tries to keep the product competitive by combining its reasonable price, wide functionality and high performance. So, the hero of today’s review combines all of the above and complements it with an advanced form factor. But is everything so rosy in the new Android smartphone?

The design of the novelty will delight lovers of “shells”. When folded, we see a small, albeit quite thick, candy bar whose auxiliary AMOLED display shows the information on the percentage of charge, missed calls, and messages. When unfolded, we see the 6.78-inch AMOLED main screen, surprisingly with an extremely rich and high-contrast image. The screen has all it takes to please the buyer, ie a refresh rate of 120 Hz, a huge margin of brightness, a FullHD + resolution. The PWM effect, which is harmful to the eyes, is manifested to a small extent, another advantage of the AMOLED panel is a high-quality oleophobic layer. Unfortunately, instead of glass, the flexible screen uses a special plastic with a protective coating. This solution is less durable. I also want to rent the exterior of the folding phablet itself. The photo module block is pretty, the glass back panel with a metal edging doesn’t disappoint either.

The technical characteristics are perfectly consistent with the condition of the device. The processor Qualcomm Snapdragon 888, 8/12 GB of RAM, and Adreno 660 video chip, even after a few years, will delight with the super-fast launch of applications and their proper functioning, players will complain not of the chipset. Genshin Impact, Fortnite performs great, however, graphics presets need to be lowered to Medium due to CPU limitation. The heating of the case after an hour of play is noticeable and not entirely comfortable. With autonomy too, everything is far from ideal. Although the the4000 mAh battery charges in half an hour, it only provides one day of active interaction with the mobile assistant. But the ROM size has been increased to 128/256 GB from UFS 3.1 format.

It is hardly possible to criticize the gadget’s photo capabilities since 50, 8 and 2-megapixel cameras with optical stabilization will be sufficient for the vast majority of users. Even inexperienced photographers will be comfortable with daytime shooting, and evening shots are usually full of detail, but no noise. 8K video also evokes overwhelmingly positive emotions. NFC contactless payment, stereo sound – are other advantages of an almost ideal phone, however, the lack of Google services makes it difficult for many Android apps to function, making it simply impossible to recommend a device to the purchase.
