Huawei Pocket 2 Set for February 22 Launch with Potential Color Variants Revealed

Huawei’s highly anticipated release, the Huawei Pocket 2, is poised to make its debut in the Chinese market imminently. Although the company has officially announced the launch date for this foldable smartphone, details regarding its specifications remain scarce. It is widely speculated that the Huawei Pocket 2 will serve as the successor to the Huawei Pocket S, which made its debut in China back in November 2022. Anticipation is high for this upcoming flip foldable handset, with expectations running high for substantial upgrades over its predecessor. Recent leaks regarding the device’s design have offered tantalizing insights into potential color options and finishes.

According to a Weibo post, Huawei has confirmed that the Huawei Pocket 2 is scheduled for release on February 22 at 2:30 PM local time (12 PM IST). While the teaser does not provide a direct glimpse of the phone’s design, it alludes to the presence of two circular modules, reminiscent of the design seen on previous models such as the Huawei Pocket S and Huawei P50 Pocket.

It is widely speculated that one of these circular units will house the rear cameras, while the other is expected to serve as the outer display. Excitement continues to mount as the launch date draws nearer, with consumers eagerly awaiting further details about this innovative foldable device.

The hint of the rear panel design aligns with earlier leaks. The Huawei Pocket 2 is tipped to launch in black, purple, and white colour options, the latter of which appeared with a marble-like pattern. Meanwhile, the purple variant was seen with a faux leather finish. The phone is expected to feature triple rear camera units, a Kirin 9000s SoC, and a larger battery than the preceding model.

Notably, the Huawei Pocket S has a 6.9-inch 120Hz OLED primary screen and an outer 1.04-inch circular OLED display. It comes with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 778G SoC, a 4,000mAh battery with support for 40W wired charging, and ships with HarmonyOS 3. The dual rear camera of the handset features a 40-megapixel primary sensor and a 13-megapixel sensor with an ultrawide angle lens, while the front camera sports a 10.7-megapixel sensor.

Offered in Frost Silver, Ice Crystal Blue, Mint Green, Obsidian Black, Primrose Gold, and Sakura Pink colourways, the Huawei Pocket S launched in China with a price tag of CNY 5,988 (roughly Rs. 67,900) for the 8GB + 128GB option. The clamshell foldable model also launched in 8GB + 256GB and 8GB + 512GB variants, priced respectively at CNY 6,488 (roughly Rs. 73,600) and CNY 7,488 (roughly Rs. 84,900).
