Huawei P50 Pro and P50 Pocket, a definitive commitment to image

Beyond a very careful aesthetic and equipping the best camera in the smartphone market worldwide, it is striking that the Chinese multinational Huawei resorts to the American Qualcomm for its processors in the European market, and that precisely for this reason it renounces 5G. It is true that this gives it a certain advantage that translates into a battery life that in terms of mobile telephony we could call eternal.

Huawei P50 pocket

The new Huawei Pocket, which follows in the footsteps set by Samsung and its commitment to folding, seeks an immersive but easy-to-carry experience, hence its name, since it is easily transported in any pocket.

At first glance, it is a different phone that, in its "more conventional" format, is built with a 3D microsculpture technique in a material called microvideo and that not only seeks aesthetic differentiation but also plays with light.

Among the technical specifications, it should be noted: dimensions of 17 x 7.55 x 0.72 cm unfolded and 8.73 x 7.55 x 1.52 cm folded, with a weight of 190 grams.

On the cover it houses two symmetrical spaces: in one is the 1.04” notification screen with 17.7 million colors, OLED technology, 340 x 340 px resolution and 60 Hz refresh rate (with specially designed icons). for this function) and in the other the camera. The sides are linked by a multidimensional hinge that folds completely and opens without leaving any sign of wrinkling on the display through a system that the company calls 'Falcon Win'.

In addition, as the same company explains, "it eliminates reflections and the 1440 Hz high-frequency PWM dimming control provides comfortable viewing even in low light conditions."

The processor, as we said the penultimate from Qualcomm, the 888, in this case, 4G. An octa-core module, 1xCortex-X1 at 2.84 GHz + 3xCortex-A78 at 2.42 GHz + 4xCortex-A55 at 1.8 GHz, with a powerful graphics unit (GPU Adreno 660). This power is combined with 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB of ROM. In the case of the Premium Edition, it offers 12 GB of RAM and 512 GB of ROM.

Camera with XD Optics

The camera is equipped with XD Optics, ultraspectral with a sensor of up to 10 colors and laser focus, which allows you to capture all kinds of colors, even invisible details in low light conditions. In addition, the selfie camera is inside the same equipment, something that allows it to be a folding equipment.

Among the details, something that has caught our attention: it detects the level of sun protection with which we go out, which is very useful for people with delicate feet.

The lenses: 40 MP true-Chroma (f/1.8 aperture), a 13 MP ultra wide angle (f/2.2 aperture), the 32 MP ultra Spectrum (f/1.8 aperture). Of course autofocus, digital zoom and video of 3840 x 2160 pixels and ultra slow motion of 1080p at 960 fps, among many other things that we will detail in the technical test.

For the rest, a 4,000 mAh battery with 40W ultra-fast charging, the latest generation USB C port, full connectivity (except 5G) and dual SIM, and a security system to guarantee privacy when it is closed.

By the way, it is sold with Lipstick freebud.

As we said number one in image in the world, with the so-called Matrix dual camera, and super matrix zoom, it reinforces the concept of 'true chroma', which means that the photo and what we see in the image is as close to reality . The user experience is infinite, considering that we still have the problem of not having Google's suite of applications, something that the company is working hard against so that the time comes when its customers do not notice the absence of the APIs of the American software multinational, which has practically monopolized the market.

With an equally exquisite design, although in a traditional format, called Candy Bar, it stands out for its fast charging of 60 W with cable and 50 wireless and the possibility of joining the complete ecosystem of Huawei products with a single touch, which the company calls 'OneHope'.

Rear camera

The rear camera lenses are 50 MP True-Chroma (color, f/1.8 aperture, OIS); 40 MP True-Chroma (MONO, f/1.6 aperture); 13 MP ultra wide angle (f/2.2 aperture); 64 MP telephoto lens (f/3.5 aperture, OIS), AF compatible; with phase detection autofocus mode and combination of digital zoom, optical zoom and hybrid zoom. It supports up to 8192 x 6144 pixels and carries AI support systems. Of course, complete amateur and professional modes, as well as filters and all kinds of options that surpass many conventional cameras on the market; although the mythical take of painting with light has disappeared.

The front or self-portrait camera is 13 MP (wide angle, f/2.4, autofocus), with a maximum resolution of 4160 x 3120 pixels in photography and 3840 x 2160 pixels; (also 1080p slow motion at 240fps).
