huawei today introduced its new foldable mobile phone (23). After years of investing in Mate Fold, the company’s new bet is the P50 bag, which is coming to rival mobiles like Samsung’s Galaxy Z Flip 3.
Instead of using the flexible display to get bigger, P50 bag adopts the technology for a vertical fold, which halves the size of the mobile phone. To compete against Samsung’s product, the company used a thinner design in the device than the Flip 3, as well as a more refined look.
In addition to a different texture on the back, the P50 bag comes with a round screen under the main camera module. The small 1 inch display can be used to view information without opening the mobile phone and has support for various widgets.
Technical specifications
The foldable OLED screen of the mobile phone is 6.9 inches, has a refresh rate of 120 Hz, sampling of 300 Hz and a Full HD resolution. The front camera is in a hole in the screen and has 10.7 MP.
The main sequence of photos has three sensors arranged in a circular module, which also contains the flash. While the primary camera comes with 40 MP, the secondary solution is a 13 MP ultra-wide sensor, with a 32 MP sensor closing the group.
Inside the Huawei P50 bag has a Snapdragon 888 chip in its 4G version – the company cannot use Qualcomm’s 5G. The processor comes with up to 12 GB of RAM, 512 GB of storage and 4000 mAh battery.
The operating system also has limitations: since Huawei is not allowed to use Google services on its smartphones, the company has equipped the foldable with HarmonyOS, its own operating system, with the suite of Huawei Mobile Services apps.
