Huawei Launches the Cheapest Foldable Smartphone in the Pocket S device

Huawei Pocket S is the cheapest foldable smartphone or flip device yet. The Chinese tech company released the Pocket S in China on November 2nd, 2022. In comparison to other foldable devices in the industry, the likes of Moto Razr 2022, Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4, and even Huawei’s P50 Pocket, the latest Pocket S is cheaper.

Though for now the Huawei Pocket S is limited to the Chinese market and the tech company is yet to indicate when it will be available in the global market. It’s also good to note that the Pocket S foldable device is more of a midrange device. Compared to other foldable devices released this year, the Huawei Pocket S has a downgrade in chipset and camera. Perhaps the reason it is more affordable too.
