Huawei Pura X View Announced In China With A 16:9.5 Wide Screen

At the beginning of the year, rumors emerged about a wide-screen, non-folding smartphone from Huawei. It has now been unveiled in China and is known as the Pura X View. This device stands alone among its foldable counterparts, featuring a horizontally arranged camera bar at the back. Its standout feature is the wide display with a 16:9.5 aspect ratio. This screen utilizes a 6.39-inch OLED panel, boasting a resolution of 2,232 x 1,320 pixels, peak brightness of 6,500 nits, and 2,160Hz PWM dimming.

The phone's slim bezels, measuring just 1.05mm, contribute to a 96.1% screen-to-body ratio. While this may seem smaller than a conventional 6.9-inch phone with a 19.5:9 screen, Huawei claims the display area is larger. This model is designed for streaming movies and gaming. It comes in four different finishes and measures 6.68mm in thickness, weighing 201g. However, it's equipped with a substantial 7,000mAh battery.

The Pura X View also features 12GB of RAM, with storage options ranging from 256GB to 1TB. The operating system is HarmonyOS 7.0. Although little is known about the device at the moment, leaks suggest it uses a Kirin 9-series chipset, possibly the Kirin 9030s. It is said to have a triple 50MP camera setup on the back, similar to the Pura X Max.
