Huawei set the trend for foldable phone design by launching the Huawei Pura X last year. This year, it unveiled the Pura X Max as an updated version of the existing model. Since the first-generation product was launched, there have been reports that other brands will follow suit. In fact, the first Apple foldable phone, which is tentatively called the iPhone Ultra and launching in September, is also expected to sport the same design. Meanwhile, Samsung has already launched its iteration with the same design called the Galaxy Z Fold 8.
Yes, the Galaxy Z Fold 8 is not a large foldable phone like last year’s Z Fold 7. It sports the new wide foldable form factor, as is expected to take Samsung’s lead in the foldable market even further ahead. Here’s a look at the comparison between the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and Huawei Pura X Max to know which wide-style foldable truly reigns supreme.
4Battery Life and Charging Speeds
- Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8: 4,800mAh silicon-carbon battery, 45W wired charging, 20W wireless charging.
- Huawei Pura X Max: 5,300mAh high-density battery, 66W wired SuperCharge, 50W wireless charging.
Samsung upgraded to silicon-carbon battery technology this year, allowing the Z Fold 8 to last through a full working day without increasing physical thickness. Nevertheless, Huawei squeezes a larger 5,300mAh capacity inside its frame. Combined with faster 66W wired and 50W wireless charging speeds, the Pura X Max powers back up in half the time required by the Galaxy.
Winner: Huawei Pura X Max | Bigger battery, faster charging.
