Huawei’s newest flagship just went on sale and people are clearly interested in its unusual shape. The Pura X View, which is the world’s first wide-screen non-foldable smartphone, saw solid demand right out of the gate.
It launched on September 7 in China with special gifts for buyers and exclusive university student benefits worth up to 944 yuan (~€121). According to Wall Street News (via ITHome), the phone sold more than 180,000 units on its first day. For some context, the earlier Pura X and Pura X Max have already shipped over 2.9 million units combined.
Under the hood it’s running a Kirin 9030S processor and a pretty large 6,400 mm² vapor chamber for cooling. The front is a 6.39″ flat OLED with a 2232 × 1320 resolution and a slightly wider 16:9.5 aspect ratio. The bezels are tiny at just 1.05 mm on all four sides, giving it a 96.1% screen-to-body ratio. You also get 120 Hz refresh rate, 2160 Hz high-frequency PWM dimming, a local peak of 6500 nits, and Kunlun glass protection.
The camera setup is a quad system on the back: a 200 MP RYYB main camera (1/1.28″ sensor, f/1.8, OIS), a 50 MP periscope telephoto (f/2.6, OIS, 88 mm equivalent), an 8 MP ultra-wide, and Huawei’s second-generation red maple primary color camera. Up front sits a 40 MP camera with a 1/2.55-inch sensor. It ships with HarmonyOS 7 and adds Huawei Share’s remote data transfer feature.
Battery life looks strong too: a 7000 mAh silicon-anode cell with 66 W wired and 50 W wireless charging. The phone itself is about 6.68 mm thick and weighs roughly 201 g. Color options are Shadow Red, Linen Gray, Zero White, and Midnight Black. It also has IP68 and IP69 ratings, two-way BeiDou satellite messaging, and eSIM support.
A wider screen in a regular slab phone, a big battery, and a solid first-day sales number make the Pura X View an interesting new entry in Huawei’s Pura lineup.
