What is known about the Huawei Pocket 3?”

If the leaks are confirmed, the Pocket 3 will be even thinner, lighter and more compact compared to the Pocket 2. However, the big question remains: Which chipset will Huawei be able to use in the face of US sanctions?”

Because of the ASML advanced hardware ban, the Chinese manufacturer is still limited to 7nm process technology, while the leading 2024 flagships are already running on 3nm chips. However, last year’s Mate 60 Pro proved that Huawei knows how to deliver great performance even when constrained.

Can Huawei beat Samsung again?”

In 2023, Huawei unexpectedly became the global leader in foldable smartphone sales in the first quarter, displacing Samsung. However, the Korean company regained the top spot in the third quarter. If the Pocket 3 does turn out to be the “revolutionary” device that Yu Chengdong says it is, Samsung will have to catch up with Huawei in this segment again.
