Huawei Pocket 3 is a smaller iPad mini that folds

Vlad, 25 February 2025

Huawei definitely isn't one to shy away from trying crazy things (the Mate XT stands as most recent proof), and according to a new rumor out of China, the company is getting ready to do something special again.

The upcoming Huawei Pocket 3 is said to have a 3:2 aspect ratio when unfolded. That's the same aspect ratio used by Apple in the iPad mini, which has an 8.3" screen. The Pocket 3's display will be 6.3", so, when it's unfolded, it should pretty much look like a smaller iPad mini.

The device's cover screen is said to be 3.5", and it's still unclear what aspect ratio that one will have. The Huawei Pocket 2 launched in February of last year, so the Pocket 3's unveiling could actually be imminent. With this new aspect ratio, it's sure to turn some heads - more, perhaps, than its predecessor already did with its blinged out design.

The Pocket 3 will run Huawei's HarmonyOS, the one that's fully Android-free. Specs for the phone haven't been outed yet, other than the internal screen's aspect ratio, but that information could be coming soon, now that the leak floodgates have opened. This is shaping up to be a very intriguing device indeed, we'll let you know when we find out more about it.

Well, laptops are primarily made for document work and not watching movies. Personally, I prefer 3:2 screens, 16:9 on a laptop is just too narrow to do anything useful other than video playback. Moreover, you can watch 16:9 videos on a 3:2 or 4:3 ,...

So... a phone with an impractical aspect ratio? Phones have their current aspect ratio for a reason?
