Huawei Teams Up With Couture Designer Iris Van Herpen For Its Latest Smartphone

The Huawei P50 Pocket boasts major fashion chops thanks to a limited-edition tie-up with the Dutch couture designer.

Fashion designers have been lending their names to mobile phone designs since the age of the clamshell phone and MP3 ringtones. Just redial your memory a little to the early aughts when luxury houses such as Versace and Dolce&Gabbana collaborated on the Nokia 7270 and the Razr V3i DG respectively.

Flash forward to December 23 and Chinese tech giant Huawei has unveiled the P50 Pocket, a smartphone that has ambitions of becoming a leader in the revived arena for Y2K-era clamshell phone designs. The design will hit stores in Singapore in early 2022 and will roll out two sleek colourways of gold and white.

The Huawei P50 Pocket Premium Edition by Iris Van Herpen is guided by the designer’s principle of “symbiosis”, with the etching on the cover meant to evoke the shadows and texture of the earth. (Photo: Huawei)

However, it’s the phone’s limited-edition premium series with Dutch fashion designer Iris van Herpen which has caught the attention of style watchers. True to van Herpen’s signature forms and intricate organic details, the collaborative design features gill-like etchings on the surface of the phone’s shell which was achieved through a process of 3D micro-sculpting.

Ahead, we give a rundown of early details we know about the smartphone before it hit shelves here in early 2022.

The phone’s slim design unfolds to reveal a seamless screen that measures 17.53cm diagonally with 21:9 display ratio – arguably one of the biggest displays and widest perspectives for foldable phones in the market right now. Watching videos or movies on the screen will be an enhanced experience given how the display supports up to 1.07 billion colours. For those worried about phone battery life, the P50 Pocket packs a stronger 4,000 mAh battery for effortless, high-speed charging.

IT COMES WITH A DISTINCTIVE DESIGN

The cover screen, meanwhile, boasts a striking two-ring design. One is for a display that showcases details such as notifications, schedule, music and the like, while the other houses a three-lens camera that captures images with more nuanced details, better depth and higher clarity.

Huawei
THE PHONE OFFERS VARIOUS FORMS OF PROTECTION

For those worried about security and privacy, the P50 Pocket disables the cameras, microphone and location whenever the Super Privacy mode is activated. And speaking of protection, the phone debuts Huawei’s Sunscreen detection meter via the Mirror app. This function can visualise the spread of sunscreen on skin to check for areas that are uncovered to avoid getting sunburnt.
