In the foldable screen mobile phone market, small foldable phones have always had a place due to their exquisite, compact and foldable features. Today, including Huawei, Samsung, OPPO, vivo and moto, they have also launched their own small folding products. Among many small folding mobile phones, the Huawei Pocket series is relatively unique. It has not catered to the market. The launch of products with larger external screens has always maintained the family-style “double ring” design, coupled with some unique functions, giving it a bit more “personality” and “features” than other small foldables.

The small foldable phone we got today is the Pocket 2 just released by Huawei. It has a new color design, a new performance experience, comprehensive imaging configuration, and also applies some of Huawei’s latest flagship technologies. So Huawei Pocket 2 What is the actual experience? This article will take you to find out.

1. Inheriting the condensed mother-of-pearl craftsmanship, the new color matching is highly recognizable.

There are various reasons for choosing small folds, but appearance should account for the majority. The appearance of Huawei Pocket 2 is generally similar to that of the previous generation Pocket S, but there are still big differences in color matching, lens modules, etc. It comes in four colors: Tahitian gray, rococo white, taro purple, and elegant black. Among them, Tahitian Gray can be said to be the main color, and it is also a new color scheme that the author personally feels is very recognizable. This color scheme uses the same condensed mother-of-pearl process as the P60 Pro Rococo White to simulate the texture of natural shells. , although I currently only have this Tahitian gray version of Pocket 2, but based on my experience with the P60, the back panel pattern texture of each Pocket 2 Tahitian gray should also be different, which is quite “smoky”. “Blind box” feeling.

In addition to the regular color matching, Huawei Pocket 2 also brings a high-end color matching version this time. It is an art-customized version of Huawei Pocket 2 jointly created with high-end artists. It is also inspired by the optical illusion phenomenon in nature and uses light and shadow. , lines create a 3D space effect. Regardless of the appearance, the visual impact is still there.

The lens Deco of Pocket 2 continues the classic family-style design. The rear module is still in the “double ring” shape. The top is four lenses (main camera + super wide-angle + telephoto + hyperspectral camera), and the bottom is the external screen. The transition between Deco and the middle frame of the fuselage is smoother, making the visual lines of the fuselage more rounded and the feel better.

As one of the few small foldables that insists on a small external screen, the external screen size of Pocket 2 is only 1.15 inches. This means that Huawei’s understanding of small foldables is fundamentally different from that of blue and green manufacturers. In addition to taking pictures and reading notification messages, this The functions that an external screen can achieve are indeed not as rich as those of large external screens and small foldables. If you plan to buy a small foldable, you still need to understand this.

In terms of internal screen, Pocket 2 has the largest small foldable internal screen size in the industry, with a 6.94-inch ultra-high resolution of 2690×1136 and a peak brightness of up to 2200nits.

For Xiaozhe, I believe everyone is more concerned about the “crease” performance of the inner screen. However, the phone I am holding is a new phone after all. In the initial state, there are almost no obvious creases, and the finger touch is also very smooth. As for long-term use What kind of performance will it have in the future? We will bring you more experience sharing in the future.

2. The Xiao Fold is equipped with four cameras for the first time and introduces sun protection detection function

In the past, limited by the limited body space, it was difficult for small foldable phones to compete with candy bar machines in terms of images. However, with the development of mobile imaging technology, today’s small foldable phones have also made great progress in images.

Huawei Pocket 2 brings the first full-focus XMAGE quad camera to the small foldable. The super-sensing main camera uses a 50-megapixel sensor and is equipped with an F1.6 large aperture. It has a large amount of light that is rare in a small foldable, and the light is good. At times, the shutter speed is faster, and you can even capture some moving scenes. In dark light or night scenes, with the higher amount of light, you can also take bright proofs.

At the same time, Huawei Pocket 2 is also equipped with a 3x optical telephoto and 120° ultra-wide-angle macro lens, which can take care of both portraits and landscapes, meeting the shooting needs of multiple scenes and multiple focal lengths.

If you want to say what Xiao Fold is best at in terms of imaging, it must be taking selfies. Thanks to the foldable design, users can completely use the external screen + rear main camera to take selfies. Compared with the front camera, the main camera usually has higher pixels and a larger sensor, and the selfie quality is naturally higher.

In addition, Huawei Pocket 2 is also equipped with the XD Fusion Pro portrait engine. The beauty effect pays more attention to the balance between nature and reality to maintain the natural beauty of portraits. When processing portraits, the algorithm will make appropriate adjustments to preserve the softness and elasticity of the skin itself, while optimizing the skin texture in different areas of the face to fully restore the three-dimensional sense of the skin itself.

It is worth mentioning that this time Huawei Pocket 2 also brings a “black technology” function-UV sunscreen detection. Huawei Pocket 2 is equipped with a second-generation hyperspectral camera on the rear, which not only supports the industry’s strongest ultraviolet sensitivity, but also has a hyperspectral AI fusion algorithm that can accurately detect ultraviolet intensity, sun spots, and the application of chemical sunscreen. Scientific and precise skin care.

For the first time, Huawei’s smart assistant Xiaoyi supports the sunscreen care function. Every morning, it will remind users of today’s ultraviolet rays and give professional sunscreen suggestions for travel. As the environment changes, Xiaoyi will also remind us to reapply sunscreen in time and before going to bed. Pay attention to makeup removal and help us take care of our skin scientifically.

3. The small foldable has the largest battery + 66W fast charging, and the battery life is surprising

The battery life of the small foldable has always been a pain point. Compared with the candy bar machine, the small foldable has an extra hinge structure and an extra external screen. At the same time, the thickness and weight of the body must also be considered, which can only sacrifice battery capacity. Therefore, we have seen that in the past, small foldable batteries basically did not exceed 4000mAh, so battery life was unavoidable.

With the improvement of battery technology and the advancement of internal stacking processes, current small foldable batteries have also made new breakthroughs. Among them, Huawei Pocket 2 is equipped with the industry’s largest capacity 4520mAh silicon anode battery for small foldable mobile phones. From a capacity perspective, it is completely Compared with some straight flagships that focus on thinness and lightness, the battery life will naturally increase.

In addition, it also supports 66W Huawei wired super fast charging and 40W wireless super fast charging, which not only takes into account the charging needs in a variety of scenarios, the charging speed is also very fast. According to actual tests, wired charging can charge from 0 to 85% in 30 minutes, which is also Currently the fastest charging rate among small foldable phones.

4. Others: Kirin 9000S, two-way Beidou satellite, comprehensive protection

In terms of performance, Huawei Pocket 2 is equipped with the Kirin 9000S chip. This chip is familiar to everyone and is used in the Huawei Mate X5 and Mate 60 series. The measured AnTuTu score was 651952, the CPU score was 278676, and the GPU still could not display the score; however, the author also tested 3D Mark WILD LIFE EXTREME and the score was 1381. Overall, Huawei Pocket 2 is adequate and ensures smooth operation of daily tasks.

Huawei mobile phones have always performed well in terms of signals, and this advantage has also extended to Huawei Pocket 2.

The first is Lingxi Communication, which can maintain stable network signals in weak signal environments such as basements and garages. At the same time, Huawei Pocket 2 has also made corresponding technical optimizations for different forms, ensuring smooth communication whether it is unfolded, held, or hovered.

Huawei Pocket 2 is also the industry’s first small foldable mobile phone to support two-way Beidou satellite messages, which can send messages to the outside world through satellites without a terrestrial network. Two-way Beidou satellite messages have the ability to reply to messages, ensuring two-way communication between the caller and the rescuer. For those who work in remote areas or areas with insufficient signal coverage all year round, as well as outdoor adventure enthusiasts, mobile phones have Satellite communication capabilities are still necessary.

Regarding the folding screen, I believe many friends are more concerned about its durability.

Huawei Pocket 2 adopts the first Xuanwu water drop hinge and the first double-wing sky structure. Compared with the “three-door panel structure” design of the traditional hinge, the new hinge cancels the middle “door panel” and only retains the “door panels” on both sides, reducing the number of The number of gaps between door panels makes the screen flatter. In terms of anti-fall, Huawei Pocket 2’s Xuanwu water drop hinge has also been replaced with stronger super rocket steel, which greatly improves the reliability of the hinge.

In addition, Huawei Pocket 2 Art Custom Edition uses the latest second-generation Kunlun glass as the back cover. Huawei Pocket 2 supports 2-meter IPX8 level waterproofing, and has a high level of protection in a small fold.

at last:

As a small foldable device, Huawei Pocket 2 has a fashionable and ingenious design, a powerful and comprehensive imaging experience, and excellent durability, making the small foldable device comparable to candy bar flagships. At the same time, as a new product in the Huawei family, Huawei Pocket 2 also has some unique experiences that other products of the same type do not have, such as two-way Beidou satellite messaging, Lingxi communications, 4520mAh silicon anode battery, 66W fast charging and HarmonyOS 4. With these unique functions, Huawei Pocket 2 is not only comprehensive in experience, but also more distinctive.
