Huawei’s clamshell Pocket S2 to refrain from evolving on the outside, but is said to bring 5G

Remember the cheapest foldable phone in 2022 – the Huawei Pocket S?

Soon there will be another clamshell and it will be called Huawei Pocket S2 and the key specifications and color options have been leaked.

In addition to working on the iPhone 16 rival against the Mate 70 series, Huawei is not letting go of its flip-style foldable against the Pocket S2 (via Gizmochina).

The successor to the clamshell device is mentioned by expert tipster Digital Chat Station on Chinese microblogging site Weibo. In the tipster's post, information claims that the Pocket S2 will retain most of the design elements of its predecessor. If this turns out to be true and the Pocket S2 doesn't evolve on the outside, we should expect the rear to house a triple camera setup in two circular modules. An external panel will also be located in one of these modules. Similar to the previous Pocket S, the Pocket S2 could also be released in a special Art Edition. According to Digital Chat Station, this upcoming Pocket S2 could hit the shelves in a gray color option with a glass back. There may be a purple one too – just with a leather back panel. Under the hood, the device is said to feature a Kirin 9000s chipset, which will bring 5G capabilities. A 4,520mAh battery could power this device supporting 66W wired fast charging.

The original Pocket S was very impressive at $800 in 2022 for the base 128GB storage model. The OG came with a beautiful OLED display equipped with a 120Hz refresh rate, a large 4,000 mAh, a 40 MP primary shooter supported by a 13 MP ultra-wide camera and 8 GB of RAM.

One of the few compromises was the processor (Qualcomm Snapdragon 778G), which lacks 5G connectivity.
