Huawei Pocket3 is Coming Soon: Standard and Art Custom Editions Expected, Continuing Folding Screen Innovation

Previous leaks suggest a fierce competition in the foldable phone market in 2024, with Huawei, Xiaomi, and Honor updating their smaller foldable phones, while OPPO, vivo, Honor, and Huawei will update their larger foldable models. Huawei and Honor will launch both small and large foldable phones simultaneously, Xiaomi will prioritize updating its smaller foldable, and OPPO and vivo will focus on larger foldable phones first. Among these, Huawei is confirmed to launch a new small foldable phone the Huawei Pocket3.

More details about the Huawei Pocket3 have emerged. Blogger @WisdomPikachu revealed: "Huawei's small foldable series is accelerating, thinner, smaller, lighter; two models are planned for this series. See you after the New Year. Also, a small tablet." This indicates a post-Chinese New Year launch for the Huawei Pocket3, with at least two different versions.

Looking back at the Huawei Pocket2, in addition to the standard edition, Huawei collaborated with high-fashion designer Iris van Herpen on an art custom edition. This unique collaboration in the industry added a distinct artistic touch to the Huawei Pocket series. Based on leaks, the Huawei Pocket3 is also expected to follow this product strategy, launching both standard and art custom editions with differing designs.

The Huawei Pocket2 standard edition used a "pearl double ring" design, offering four color options: Tahiti Gray, Rococo White, Taro Purple, and Classic Black, catering to diverse aesthetic preferences. Its art custom edition featured a unique "Blue Dream" color scheme and employed 3D dynamic spatial technology and microlens optical imaging technology to reconstruct planar textures into three-dimensional effects, exuding artistic flair. Furthermore, the Huawei Pocket2 art custom edition incorporated second-generation Kunlun Glass, improving the phone's drop resistance by 20 times, and came with a custom gift box including a dedicated protective case and a super-fast charger, highlighting its high-end positioning.

It can be inferred that the Huawei Pocket3 art custom edition will likely continue this strategy, offering a custom gift box to further enhance the user experience.

Currently, there's no concrete information on other specifications of the Huawei Pocket3, but we can make reasonable inferences based on the Huawei Pocket2. The Huawei Pocket2 features a Xuanwu waterdrop hinge, supports 2-meter IPX8 water resistance, boasts a 6.9-inch 26901136 pixel inner screen and a 1.15-inch 340340 pixel always-on external screen. In terms of imaging, the Huawei Pocket2 has a 10.7MP ultra-wide-angle front camera and a rear quad-camera XMAGE system including a 50MP ultra-perception camera, a 12MP ultra-wide-angle camera, an 8MP telephoto camera, and a 2MP ultra-spectrum camera, coupled with XDFusion Pro portrait engine, ensuring excellent image quality. The battery is a 4520mAh unit supporting 66W wired super fast charging and 40W wireless super fast charging.

The Huawei Pocket3 is expected to see improvements in imaging, performance, and fast charging to meet users' demand for higher performance and a better experience. This could include a more advanced processor, stronger image sensors, and faster charging speeds. Improvements in thinness, lightness, and size are also anticipated, as "thinner, smaller, lighter" was specifically mentioned in previous leaks.

Beyond its continued efforts in foldable phones, Huawei has achieved remarkable success in other areas. According to IT Home, the "Top 100 SEP Rights Holders in Global 5G Standard Essential Patents in 2025" report shows Huawei maintaining its top position, commanding a 15% market share, ahead of Qualcomm, Samsung, and other competitors. This report confirms Huawei's leading position and strong technological capabilities in 5G technology. The top ten SEP rights holders listed in the report are Huawei, Qualcomm, Samsung, LG, Ericsson, ZTE, Nokia, OPPO, Datang Telecom, and vivo. Huawei's continued leadership demonstrates its investment and achievements in R&D and innovation. This not only solidifies Huawei's leading position in the communications sector but also provides a solid foundation for its development in other fields. Huawei's leading advantage in 5G standard-essential patents will further enhance its competitiveness and influence in the global market.

In conclusion, the upcoming launch of the Huawei Pocket3 will undoubtedly reignite competition in the foldable phone market. Based on the success of the Huawei Pocket2 and the latest leaks, we have reason to expect the Huawei Pocket3 to deliver an even more outstanding foldable experience.
