Huawei Pura X View surpassed 750,000 units in sales

Huawei’s wide-screen Pura X View has turned into one of this year’s biggest domestic flagship success stories, and demand has been so strong that official channels only recently stopped restricting purchases.

According to digital blogger @RDObservation, who tracks Chinese smartphone market share, the Pura X View had sold roughly 755,300 units by the 43rd week of 2026 (October 19–25). That’s solid ongoing momentum for a phone that launched on September 9 and has been hard to get hold of ever since.

Shortages have been a constant issue. Some third-party sellers were even charging premiums for units that were actually in stock. Tipster @DigitalChatStation has called it the year’s most popular domestic flagship, noting an average selling price of around 7,000 yuan and estimating that about 30 percent of buyers previously used Apple phones. Huawei tried to manage the demand by running a 60-day pre-order and reservation campaign starting October 20. The phone is now available for direct purchase on Huawei’s official website, with interest-free installments for up to 12 months.

What makes the Pura X View stand out is its form factor. It’s a non-folding “wide candybar” phone with a 6.39-inch display that uses a 16:9.5 aspect ratio and 2232 × 1320 resolution. The screen runs at 120 Hz, supports 2160 Hz high-frequency PWM dimming, and hits a peak brightness of 6500 nits. Ultra-narrow 1.05 mm bezels on all four sides give it a 96.1 percent screen-to-body ratio, so the relatively compact body still feels roomy for media, reading, and multitasking. Inside is the Kirin 9030S processor, and the phone starts at 5,999 yuan.

The unusual wide design, strong display specs, and competitive pricing in the premium segment have kept interest high weeks after launch. Exact weekly numbers and long-term stock levels will keep shifting, but the latest sales figure and the move to open online availability show that the Pura X View has real commercial traction in China’s tough flagship market.
