Huawei launched two horizontal foldables last year, the Mate X3 and Mate X5, but no vertical foldable – the last one is the Huawei Pocket S from late 2022. A new model is finally on its way and leakster Fixed Focus Digital shared early renders of it on Weibo.
The Huawei Pocket 2 is shown in three colorways: a plain black, Dark Purple (which seems to have a leather texture) and Rococo White (which has a marble look to it).

Like its predecessors, the phone has two circles on its back – the first is the camera island, the second is the cover display. On the P50 Pocket and Pocket S this was a 1.04” circular OLED display with 340 x 340px resolution.
As for the camera island, it has three lenses, though no details are known about any of the modules. Both the P50 Pocket and Pocket S had 40MP main and 13MP ultra wides, but the P50 also had an unusual 32MP camera that worked in the ultraviolet spectrum (it was used for the Sunscreen Test feature).
It’s possible that Huawei will launch the Pocket 2 alongside the upcoming Huawei P70 series – the P60 series arrived in March last year – though Pockets typically arrive later in the year.
