The Huawei Pocket S phone is the company's second clamshell foldable, arriving in China as a more accessible follow-up to the P50 Pocket launched the previous year. Packed with a 6.9-inch foldable OLED display, a Snapdragon 778G processor, and six colour choices, it targets buyers who want a premium folding experience without going all the way to flagship pricing.
Huawei Pocket S Phone Price and Availability
Huawei has priced the Pocket S in three storage tiers in China. The 128GB variant starts at RMB 5,988 (approximately ₹68,000), the 256GB model costs RMB 6,488 (approximately ₹73,700), and the top-end 512GB option is priced at RMB 7,488 (approximately ₹85,000). The phone went on pre-order immediately after launch, with sales opening on November 10. It is available in Obsidian Black, Frost Silver, Mint Green, Sakura Pink, Primrose Gold, and Ice Crystal Blue.
Display, Design, and Hinge
The primary screen is a 6.9-inch foldable OLED panel with a smooth 120Hz refresh rate for fluid scrolling and animations. On the back, a 1.04-inch secondary cover display lets you check notifications, the time, or camera previews without unfolding the device. Security is handled by a side-mounted fingerprint scanner, and the hinge uses Huawei's multi-dimensional linkage lifting water-drop design — the same mechanism that helps the device fold flat and resist crease over time. Alongside the Pocket S, Huawei also unveiled the GT Cyber smartwatch.

Camera and Photography
For imaging, Huawei has equipped the Pocket S with a dual rear camera system. The main sensor is a 40-megapixel shooter, paired with a 13-megapixel ultra-wide-angle lens for broader scenes. Selfie duties fall to a 10.7-megapixel front camera. The compact clamshell form factor also means you can use the cover display as a viewfinder and shoot selfies with the superior rear cameras.
Battery, Performance, and Cooling
Under the hood runs a 4,000mAh battery with support for 40W wired fast charging, keeping downtime short even with intensive use. The phone ships with HarmonyOS 3 out of the box, Huawei's own operating system. Performance is driven by the Snapdragon 778G chipset backed by 8GB of RAM. To manage heat during gaming sessions, Huawei integrated a flexible graphite heat dissipation system that draws warmth away from the processor efficiently.
