  "account": "HUAWEI's recently launched non-foldable wide-screen phone, the Pura X View, has garnered strong early sales in China. This has led Android competitors to reconsider shelved designs of wide-screen non-foldable phones, according to leaker Digital Chat Station on Weibo. The reception to the Pura X View has been so impressive that several smartphone manufacturers are now looking into incorporating a wide non-foldable phone design into their product roadmaps. While many manufacturers had previously favored tall 20:9 aspect ratios, the demand for horizontal display space appears to be driving a shift in product development. Wide glass-slab phones offer the expanded screen real estate of wide-screen foldables at a lower price and with lower technical complexity, making them an attractive option for consumers.",
