Huawei is expected to launch the smallest vertical foldable in 2025. The company has likely started working on its next-gen folding phones.

One of these could be a small device with an innovative design and some top-end hardware features.

According to a reliable tipster DigitalChatStation, the smallest phone in 2025 will probably be 6.3-inch. Honor may join this list and unveil a small phone model in the upcoming flagship Magic 8 lineup.

Since the company’s upcoming clamshell product will likely be the Pocket 3 handset, it can be expected that it will be the most compact flip-flop model in 2025.

Earlier, the same tipster teased that the Pocket 3 foldable could debut in February or March. The device is expected to be in the development phase and may soon show up on the consumer platform. However, it is important to note that the company has yet to officially confirm this.

Both Honor and Huawei have innovative plans for 2025. The former aims for major smartphone upgrades while the latter is working on “unimaginable” products.

The flip-flop model has a 6.94-inch main and 1.15-inch cover LTPO OLEDs. It supports a 120Hz refresh rate, 2200 nits peak brightness, and 1.07 billion colours. Pocket 2 sports the Kirin 9000s chipset and is upgradable to HarmonyOS NEXT.

It has a quad-camera setup on the back with a 50MP main lens, a 12MP ultrawide-angle, an 8MP telephoto, and a 2MP multi-spectral camera sensor. The device has a 10.7MP front-facing lens with multiple shooting modes and camera features.

The Pocket 2 houses a 4520mAh cell with 66W wired, 40W wireless, 5W reverse wireless, and 5W wired charging support.
