Huawei’s flagship P50 Pro and folding P50 Pocket launch globally, but without one key feature
Huawei used to be one of the top-selling smartphone makers in the world, even though U.S. sanctions have dealt a considerable blow to the brand. However, the Chinese tech giant still sells some smartphones abroad, and it just announced the global launch of the P50 Pro and P50 Pocket. According to Huawei, the smartphones will be available in “key markets in Asia Pacific, the Middle East and Africa, Europe and Latin America.”
Huawei launched the P50 Pro smartphone in China last year. The global version of the smartphone will be powered by the Snapdragon 888 chipset, unlike the Chinese version that uses the company’s own Kirin 9000 SoC. Huawei’s P-series smartphones are known for their camera performance, and speaking of which, the P50 Pro features a unique dual-ring design and a Leica-branded quad-camera setup. It includes a 50MP main camera, a 40MP monochrome lens, a 13MP ultra-wide-angle lens, and a 64MP telephoto lens.
The phone features a 6.6-inch OLED display with a screen resolution of 2,700 x 1,228, a 120Hz refresh rate, and a punch-hole cutout at the top that houses the 13MP selfie camera. The P50 Pro has a 4,360 mAh battery with support for 66W Huawei SuperCharge and 50W Huawei Wireless SuperCharge fast charging technology. It will be available in two colorways: Golden Black and Cocoa Gold, both in a single storage option with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage.
The Huawei P50 Pocket is a clamshell foldable smartphone similar to the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip3. The rear design of the smartphone looks identical to the P50 Pro, although instead of a camera, it includes a rear screen in one of the rings. The first ring houses a 40MP main camera, a 13MP ultra-wide-angle lens, and a 32MP “hyperspectral camera.” The second ring has a 1-inch circular display, which is smaller than the one on the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip3. The smartphone’s main display is a 6.9-inch OLED panel with a 21:9 aspect ratio and 2,790 x 1,188 resolution. It supports up to 120Hz refresh rate and 300Hz touch sampling rate, and the 10.7MP selfie shooter sits in the hole-punch cutout at the top.
The P50 Pocket has a 4,000 mAh battery that supports Huawei’s 40W SuperCharge fast charging. The phone will be available in two versions. There’s a “regular” version with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage, and it’s available in black and white. But there’s also a premium version, made in collaboration with designer Iris van Herpen, with 12GB of RAM and 512GB of storage.
The phones also have expected limitations due to the U.S. government’s continued dissatisfaction with Huawei. Global Snapdragon-enabled P50 Pro and P50 Pocket versions will be limited to 4G networks and won’t get 5G support. Also, the lack of Google services means the phone uses Huawei’s apps and AppGallery instead of Google’s apps and Play Store.

Tom Holland to star alongside Matt Damon in Christopher Nolan’s next, will juggle that with Spider-Man 4 in 2025
Tom Holland, last seen in Apple TV show The Crowded Room last year, has signed his next with Academy Award-winning filmmaker Christopher Nolan.
Tom Holland is going to have a very busy 2025. As per The Hollywood Reporter, the actor has signed Christopher Nolan’s next, which he will juggle the filming of with that of the long-awaited Spider-Man 4. (Also Read – Tom Holland shares why he left alcohol behind: ‘Struggling without booze…’)
Tom signs Nolan’s next
This will mark the first collaboration between Tom and Christopher. While details of his next directorial aren’t known yet, it’s most likely not to have a contemporary setting. It’ll be either set in the past like, his previous film Oppenheimer (2023), or in the future like Interstellar (2014). Matt Damon, who has worked with Christopher in both, has also come on board his next.
Christopher’s next will be co-produced by him and his wife Emma Thomas’ banner Syncopy Inc and Universal Pictures, as the two production houses will team up after the Academy Award-winning blockbuster Oppenheimer last year. Prior to Oppenheimer, Christopher collaborated mostly with Warner Bros before having a fallout post the debacle of Tenet (2020).
Warner Bros then went on to produce Greta Gerwig’s musical satire Barbie, which clashed with Oppenheimer at the box office and even outperformed it globally. Warner Bros offered Christopher a cheque for the fees he waived off for helming Tenet during the pandemic. While Christopher graciously accepted the belated remuneration, he still went on to pitch his next to Warner Bros.
Tom’s busy schedule
Tom didn’t have any release this year. His last outing was Todd Graff’s psychological thriller show The Crowded Room on Apple TV last year. He’ll juggle the filming of Christopher Nolan’s next and Spider-Man 4 in 2025. Tom has been playing the superhero ever since Russo Brothers’ 2016 blockbuster Captain America: Civil War. He’s slipped into the Peter Parker shoes post that for three standalone films and two Avengers movies. Spider-Man 4 will be helmed by Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings director Destin Daniel Cretton.
As Tom’s girlfriend and co-star Zendaya will be busy filming Spider-Man 4 in 2025, she’ll reprise her role of Chani in Denis Villeneuve’s sci-fi spectacle Dune 3 only in 2026. Meanwhile, Tom is also likely to make an appearance as Spider-Man in Russo Brothers’ Avengers: Doomsday, which will go on floors in the spring of 2025.
