EMUI 14.2.0.145 accompanies the newly released July 2024 security patch for P50 Pocket users. This improvement package fixes 6 systems and 28 third-party library defects. It also safeguards users’ data from malicious threats or privacy exploits.

In case you have not received this update or the EMUI 14 firmware yet, then don’t worry. The company is rolling out the major version in a phased rollout. Hence, it may take some time to cover all the eligible units in the global regions.

With this update, the company has added one more device to the “EMUI 14.2 received” list. However, some eligible devices are still left to obtain this major offering and enjoy a new phase, interactive themes, as well as productive features on board.

Also, it is yet to confirm if Huawei will include more phones and old flagship models to the EMUI 14.2 device list in the time ahead or not. If not all, the company should consider at least the very efficient Mate 40 Pro and P40 Pro in this case!

The latest revelation is coming from a design patent, which gives us important insights into what the upcoming foldable phone will offer on the table. From the above, we can observe that this is a major upgrade for the genre and it will provide more productivity.

Let’s dive into the details.

New Huawei flip phone:

The design clearly shows that Huawei has focused majorly on the rear side of the phone. This includes a large screen for interactions. Once closed, the panel reaches up to the hinge. Similarly, it is expanded to the very bottom.

The right side has sharp corners (top and bottom right). Innovatively, the display is matching round corners (bottom left) in alignment with the frame’s curvature. Also, a small round edge can be seen in the top left corner. The use of customized corners will the company to utilize all of the space on the cover to fill it with the screen.

The new cover display is taking up about 65 to 75% of the rear side, which is amazing. The rest of the space is occupied by the camera module. Looking at the predecessors, the P50 Pocket and Pocket S, both of these phones are using a small 1.04-inch cover screen. The new approach expands the reach and visibility, taking it to the next level.

Camera

There are two vertically arranged cameras on the right side of the screen. There is no LED flash printed for the time being. To be mentioned, the current generation of Huawei flip phone brings a triple rear camera structure.

Oppo Find N2 Flip

This phone has gathered the attention of many people around the globe. All of this publicity is generated with the second large screen. For that, you must have to praise the Chinese phone maker.

Still, the cover screen is round from all corners and leaves unused space on all sides. But Huawei has already decided to provide a seamless secondary screen viewing experience with a high screen-to-body ratio. This is a major difference between the two devices.

Main display, sides, and hinge

The design also shows a shift in the side button layout, which includes a volume rocker on the right. While a lock button is shifted to the left (while unfolded). In Huawei P50 Pocket, the company filed a fingerprint-embedded power button beneath the volume keys. It seems like the company wants to make it more convenient for the operator to wake up the display from the right thumb when the device is folded.

Furthermore, the new design shows no signs of a selfie on the main display. It is possibly relying on the main camera for this task. The hinge system is also improved, there are no gaps noted in the mechanism in the design patent.

Conclusion:

For now, we can’t confirm this as an official or final design for a new Huawei flip-style foldable. But it is a worthy contender to get the first slot in the production pipeline.

According to the details, iF Design Awards 2023 has recognized the Huawei Mate 50 series as the best cell phone design. The Huawei Mate 50 Series is the first to feature a primary camera with a 10-size adjustable physical aperture to enable users to precisely control exposure value, thus offering a better user experience.

iF Design awards for foldable phones

Both Huawei P50 Pocket and Mate Xs 2 were recognized as the best foldable phone design for the 2023 awards.

Huawei P50 Pocket Series is a foldable phone that features the most seamless and airtight vertical fold ever seen on a device. The next-generation waterdrop-shaped Multi-Dimensional Hinge uses Huawei’s exclusive Multi-Dimensional Lifting mechanism, and the hidden open-and-shut design on both sides of the hinge seals off the screen to prevent foreign objects from infiltrating and damaging it.

Huawei Mate Xs 2 is the world’s lightest foldable phone with a 255g body. The 5.4 mm unfolding thickness is only half of the thickness of conventional smartphones. A pioneering Double-rotating Falcon Wing Hinge ensures the product’s ultra-flat experience. Coupled with the first adaptive UI engine, the product makes the ecological application perfectly presented on its large screen.

Smartwatch and earphone

The recently released Huawei FreeBuds 5 and Watch Buds also made it into the innovative design list for best earphones and smartwatches.

Huawei FreeBuds 5 innovates the inner structure layout by distributing speakers in the head unit and the battery under the head unit. With a fully curved shape design, it can keep a comfortable wearing experience after long use.

Huawei Watch Buds is a new product that combines a smartwatch with earbuds. The earbuds are attached to the back of the watch dial plate with built-in magnets, so users won’t need to carry two independent devices on the go.

Others:

There are plenty of other Huawei devices and technologies that are awarded by iF Design. These are Huawei MateBook X Pro, Singal Coverage Map, AppGallery Connect, Celia Call, Huawei SmartKey, Petal Vivid, Huawei AirEngine, Petal Maps app for cars, FTTR solutions, IdeaHub S2, LampSite 5 series, and BeiDou Satellite messaging feature.

iF Design Awards 2023:

Since 1954, the iF DESIGN AWARD has been a globally recognized trademark when it comes to excellent design. The awards honor design achievements in all disciplines: product, packaging, communication and service design, architecture, and interior design, as well as user interface (UI), user experience (UX), and professional concepts.

The 2023 awards include 88 international, independent design experts who met to determine the winners of the iF DESIGN AWARD 2023 as part of the iF Final Jury. There were heated discussions, testing, evaluations, and finally a decision on the awards. A total of 2,104 participants from 47 countries can look forward to this valuable award.
