Huawei’s latest foldable, the Pura X, is officially on sale in China starting today. Unlike the book-style or clamshell foldable that dominate the market today, the Pura X introduces a sideways folding design, creating a wider aspect ratio when unfolded. Here’s what you need to know about its pricing, availability, and standout features.
Price and availability
The Pura X starts at 7,499 yuan for the 12GB RAM + 256GB storage variant, while the 12GB + 512GB model costs 7,999 yuan.
For those looking for a premium option, there’s also a Collector’s Edition, which comes with 16GB of RAM and a tri-color leather back cover. This model includes satellite communication support and is available in two configurations:
- 512GB storage: 8,999 yuan
- 1TB storage: 9,999 yuan
The Pura X is available for purchase via Huawei’s official online platform in China.
A foldable that flips the script
Unlike traditional foldables that open vertically, the Pura X folds sideways, resulting in a wider unfolded display with a tablet-like aspect ratio. When closed, the device features a square cover screen sitting below a triple-camera module.
Unfold it, and you’ll notice the hinge is positioned on the side, rather than the top. The 6.3-inch internal display comes with a 16:10 aspect ratio, making it wider than most foldables on the market. That extra width provides more room for reading documents, browsing the web, and multitasking without feeling constrained.
Huawei equips the Pura X with a 50MP primary sensor (OIS), a 40MP ultra-wide lens, and an 8MP telephoto camera with 3.5x optical zoom and 30x digital zoom. On the front, there’s a 10.7MP selfie camera, though, like most foldables, you can use the primary camera for selfies when the device is folded.
The Pura X is the first Huawei device to launch with Hongmeng OS 5, the company’s latest in-house operating system. Powering everything is a 4,720mAh battery with 66W wired charging and 40W wireless charging.
The Pura X is also IPX8-rated for water resistance and comes with Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.2, NFC, and a USB 3.1 Type-C port.
