Huawei has unveiled the Pura X View, a conventional slab smartphone built around an unusual 16:9.5 aspect ratio display. It is the third device in Huawei’s wide-screen experiment after the Pura X and Pura X Max foldables, but this time without a hinge.
The 6.39-inch OLED panel has a resolution of 2232 × 1320, 1.05mm bezels on all four sides, a 96.1% screen-to-body ratio, 6,500 nits peak brightness, 2,160Hz PWM dimming and a 120Hz refresh rate. Huawei claims the display area of 114.27 cm² is larger than the usable area on several 6.9-inch phones, including the iPhone 17 Pro Max.
Despite the large 7,000mAh battery, the phone measures just 6.68mm thick and weighs 201g. It is the first phone to launch with HarmonyOS 7 out of the box. Leaked details point to a Kirin 9030S chipset, 12GB of RAM across all variants, and storage options of 256GB, 512GB and 1TB. The rear camera is expected to use a triple 50MP setup housed in a horizontal pill-shaped module.
Colour options are Phantom Night Black, Zero-degree White, Leap Shadow Red and Linen Grey.
Reservations are already open on Huawei’s Vmall store in China. Full specifications, pricing and camera details will be announced on August 28, when in-store availability and pre-sales also begin. There is no confirmed global rollout date yet.
