The Huawei P50 Pocket will feature a clamshell-like inward-folding design and a side-mounted fingerprint scanner. On the cover, it will have a circular camera module as well as a 1.0-inch circular secondary display that could be used as a preview for clicking selfies through the rear cameras. The handset will bear a 6.8-inch OLED main screen and will be offered in gold color.
