We have been reporting on rumors that Honor could be the first to launch a wide, non-foldable smartphone. We can’t confirm that claim, though, as Coolpad has already shown off its own model. Joining the fray now is DOOGEE, which announced the Note60 W with a wide profile and a design remarkably similar to the Huawei Pura X View.
The company announced the debut on its official WeChat account. The Note60 W has a 6.38-inch display with a 90Hz refresh rate and a wide aspect ratio that breaks from the tall screens most phones use. The body is about 8.4mm thick and holds a 6,500mAh battery. You also get Android 17 pre-installed.
DOOGEE’s official posters are where the Huawei comparisons start. Look at the back, and you’ll see the same camera module shape and lens layout as the Pura X View, along with a similar stripe design and a brand logo in the identical spot. Even the wallpaper looks alike.
The front does have a few differences. The Note60 W has a wider chin below the screen, and it lacks the white navigation bar that comes with Huawei’s HarmonyOS software.
What the Huawei Pura X View is
Huawei launched the Pura X View as the world’s first wide-screen candybar phone. It features a 6.39-inch OLED with a 16:9.5 aspect ratio and runs HarmonyOS 7. The body is 6.68mm thick, packing a 7,000mAh battery inside. Huawei first tried the wide format on the foldable Pura X in 2025 before bringing it to a regular slab phone.
The shape has found buyers in China. Huawei’s phone sold more than 180,000 units on its first day. A market share report later put sales at roughly 449,800 units by the last week of September, with shortages and reseller markups of 500 to 1,000 yuan.
DOOGEE hasn’t confirmed the chipset, RAM, storage, camera hardware, panel type, price, or release date for the Note60 W. Until it does, it remains unclear whether the phone shares anything with the Pura X View beyond its screen shape and overall aesthetic.
