Huawei has just introduced its latest flip phone with a brilliant design — the Pura X — and our team managed to get an early look at the device.
We’ve captured some hands-on photos, and while we’re still exploring all its features, a detailed hands-on video and review will follow soon. But here’s a quick first impression of what makes the Pura X stand out.
But before we dive into the specs, take a look at our hands-on photos of the device.
The Pura X comes with a unique 6.3-inch foldable OLED display featuring a 16:10 aspect ratio. It feels noticeably taller and more spacious than most flip phones we’ve handled. The outer screen measures 3.5 inches with a square 1:1 aspect ratio — great for quick notifications and mirror selfies. Both displays support an adaptive refresh rate from 1Hz to 120Hz and 1440Hz PWM dimming, making scrolling and animations appear smooth and easy on the eyes.
Huawei has paid special attention to design and durability. The phone uses a composite super-tough laminated structure, a titanium alloy support layer, and a basalt waterdrop hinge. It feels sturdy yet elegant in hand, and the IPX8 water resistance rating is reassuring for daily use.
On the camera front, the Pura X packs serious hardware. There’s a 50MP main sensor with an f/1.6 aperture, a 40MP ultra-wide camera, and an 8MP 3.5x telephoto lens. Huawei also added a 1.5MP multi-spectral red maple primary color camera. We’ve started testing some of its AI imaging features and will dive deeper in our review.
Under the hood, reports suggest the phone is powered by the Kirin 9020 chip paired with up to 16GB of RAM and 1TB of storage. The 4720mAh silicon-carbon battery supports 66W wired and 40W wireless charging, which should keep it running easily through the day.
The Pura X ships with HarmonyOS 5, with Huawei promising smoother performance and enhanced privacy features. We’ll be putting that to the test as well.
The device is available in Moon Shadow Grey, Zero White, and Magic Night Black, with stylish red and green leather-backed collector’s editions. Pricing starts at 7,499 yuan ($1,034) in China, with sales beginning March 30th.
Stay tuned for our complete hands-on impressions and detailed review soon.
