Vivo is expected to unveil the highly anticipated Vivo X200 Ultra in China next month (April), promising to elevate smartphone photography to the next level. Today, Vivo’s product manager, Han Boxiao, shared insights into what appears to be a test unit of the upcoming device. His latest Weibo post highlights a significant leap in camera hardware, focusing on an advanced telephoto system and an upgraded ultra-wide lens. While the full specifications remain undisclosed, these early revelations suggest a major breakthrough in mobile photography.
A powerful triple-camera system

The Vivo X200 Ultra is expected to feature a triple-camera setup with focal lengths covering 14mm, 35mm, and 85mm. Each of these sensors will reportedly have a large sensor size and high-end optics, ensuring optimal performance in various lighting conditions. The new camera system aims to eliminate the need to choose between lenses for different shots, as all three will deliver top-tier image quality across photography and video.
The largest periscope telephoto lens yet?
Vivo X200 Ultra’s periscope camera is bigger than the previous generation
One of the major highlights of the X200 Ultra’s camera setup is the inclusion of a 200-megapixel periscope telephoto camera, which is said to be larger than the one used in the X100 Ultra. This new module has a 38 percent increase in light intake due to a wider aperture, promising improved low-light performance and sharper long-range shots.
Vivo has also incorporated advanced optical technologies, including special lenses, prism enhancements, and a new coating that enhances night photography, autofocus, stabilisation, and detail at extreme zoom levels. Additionally, the ultra-wide-angle camera is set to be significantly larger than industry standards, making it ideal for capturing landscapes, architectural shots, and stable wide-angle videos. These improvements indicate that Vivo is focusing on delivering a versatile and powerful imaging experience with the X200 Ultra.

Xiaomi has just unveiled its latest home appliance in the Chinese market, the Mijia Gentle Breeze Floor-Standing Air Conditioner 3HP. It’s set to hit store shelves on March 25, priced at 5,599 yuan ($772), with pre-orders already open on JD.com.
Mijia Gentle Breeze 3HP AC Specifications
The new model (72LW-NA10/R1A1) sticks to a clean, minimalist design, finished in white and built for large living spaces. It’s a split floor-standing unit that handles both cooling and heating, promising year-round comfort with energy efficiency front and center.
The system runs on an advanced inverter setup and boasts a first-level energy efficiency rating, with an APF of 4.75, meaning it’s designed to keep both your room and your power bill in check.
Under the hood, Xiaomi is pushing serious numbers. Cooling power hits 7,360W and can ramp up to 9,700W when needed, while heating goes all the way up to 12,800W. Power consumption adjusts dynamically depending on the task, ranging between 200W and 3,600W for cooling, and 200W to 4,390W for heating. There’s also a built-in PTC electric heater with a rated power of 2,300W to give the system an extra boost on cold days.
The Mijia AC isn’t just about raw power, it’s built to move air across big spaces. It delivers 1,752 cubic meters of airflow per hour, with a wide 115-degree air supply angle and a reach of up to 13 meters. The oversized air outlets, measuring a combined 2,600 square centimeters, are nearly double the size of standard outlets, spreading air more evenly and gently. Plus, it offers both horizontal and vertical air sweeps to avoid direct blasts and create a more comfortable flow.
As expected from a Xiaomi product, smart features are baked in. The air conditioner supports HyperOS Connect and can be controlled remotely through the Mi Home app or by voice with Xiao Ai.

Samsung India recently sparked speculation about a new color option for the Galaxy S25 Ultra with a teaser image captioned “Dark. Bold. Ultra.” However, the post has since been deleted, confirming that no new color variant is in the works—at least not anytime soon. This means the Galaxy S25 Ultra’s current color lineup remains unchanged for now.
Galaxy S25 Ultra available color options
The device currently offers seven color options, with four available globally: Titanium Black, Titanium Gray, Titanium Silverblue, and Titanium Whitesilver. The remaining three—Titanium Jadegreen, Titanium Jetblack, and Titanium Pinkgold—are exclusive to Samsung’s online store. The teaser image hinted at another dark hue, but with two black variants already available, the addition seemed redundant.
Last year, Samsung introduced a Titanium Yellow variant for the Galaxy S24 Ultra in June, several months after its initial launch. However, this color was announced at the same time as the other options and simply took longer to hit the market. In contrast, there is no delayed color option planned for the Galaxy S25 Ultra.
While the teaser initially raised hopes for a fresh color choice, Samsung’s decision to remove the post suggests that they are, indeed, sticking to the currently available color options. For now, Galaxy S25 Ultra buyers will have to choose from the existing seven colors, which cater to a wide range of preferences.
Samsung is also offering a trade-in credit of up to $900 (in the US) with this phone as of writing, and for those interested, check out the product page here.
Apart from the new color options, and the rounded corners, the raw performance and power efficiency of the S25 Ultra have also improved as compared to last year’s Ultra model. While the battery capacity is still the same – 5000 mAh – the battery life has seen a decent improvement, due to increased efficiency and better performance optimization of One UI 7.
Vivo recently introduced the V50 Lite 4G, and now the company is following it up with the 5G variant. As expected, the two models share plenty in common, with the key differences mostly coming down to the chipset.
Vivo V50 Lite 5G Specifications
The V50 Lite 5G retains the same design as its 4G sibling with a pill-shaped camera module on the back, flat frames, and a hole-punch display up front.
The color options get a slight refresh; while Black and Gold remain, Vivo has added two new shades: Fantasy Purple, which sports a feathery pattern, and Silk Green with a wavy design.
Up front, there’s a 6.77-inch OLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate. The FHD+ panel boasts 1300 nits of HBM brightness and peaks at 1800 nits. It’s also SGS-certified for low blue light.
The notch up top houses a 32MP selfie camera, while the rear sports a 50MP Sony IMX882 main sensor alongside an 8MP ultrawide lens.
Powering the device is the same sizable 6500mAh battery found in the V50 Lite 4G, complete with 90W fast charging.
Despite the large battery, the phone remains impressively slim at just 7.79mm. And Vivo claims the battery will retain 80% of its capacity even after five years of use.
The most obvious difference between the two is the chipset. Vivo has swapped the Snapdragon 685 from the 4G variant with MediaTek’s Dimensity 6300 for the 5G version.
It’s paired with 8GB or 12GB of LPDDR4X RAM and offers 256GB or 512GB of UFS 2.2 storage.
On the software front, the V50 Lite 5G runs FunTouch OS 15 based on Android 15. It comes with AI features that can enhance or erase objects in photos alongside support for Google’s Circle to Search.
The device also boasts military-grade durability certification and has an IP65 rating for dust and water resistance.
Price and Availability
The Vivo V50 Lite 5G is available in Spain for €399 for the 12GB/512GB variant.

Last week, Samsung confirmed that it would start rolling out the One UI 7 update to its 2023 and newer flagship phones and tablets in April. That’s good news, but it left owners of older flagships wondering if they’d be left behind, especially since Samsung is already late in delivering this year’s platform upgrade.
Well, there’s good news for them too. Samsung has now confirmed that previous flagships, including the Galaxy S21 series and third-generation foldable, will also get the One UI 7 update in April.
One UI 7 update list
Here’s a breakdown of the devices confirmed to receive the Android 15-based One UI 7 update so far:
Galaxy S Series
Galaxy S24 Series
Galaxy S24 FE
Galaxy S23 Series
Galaxy S23 FE
Galaxy S22 Series
Galaxy S21 Series
Galaxy S21 FE
Galaxy Z Series
· Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6
· Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Galaxy Z Flip 5
· Galaxy Z Fold 4 and Galaxy Z Flip 4
· Galaxy Z Fold 3 and Galaxy Z Flip 3
Galaxy Tab
· Galaxy Tab S10 Series
· Galaxy Tab S9 Series
· Galaxy Tab S9 FE Series
· Galaxy Tab S8 Series
· Galaxy Tab S6 Lite
Samsung’s latest update is set to roll out starting April 14 in Singapore on April 14, starting with the Galaxy S24 series before expanding to other devices. Globally, though, the update kicks off earlier on April 7 for the S24 series, so there seems to be some regional rollout differences.
As is pretty evident, the company is prioritizing its flagship lineup first. Its mid-range and budget devices from the Galaxy A, M, and F series are next in line for the update, but users might have to wait a little longer before the update reaches their phones.

Huawei has just introduced its latest flip phone with a brilliant design — the Pura X — and our team managed to get an early look at the device.
We’ve captured some hands-on photos, and while we’re still exploring all its features, a detailed hands-on video and review will follow soon. But here’s a quick first impression of what makes the Pura X stand out.
But before we dive into the specs, take a look at our hands-on photos of the device.
The Pura X comes with a unique 6.3-inch foldable OLED display featuring a 16:10 aspect ratio. It feels noticeably taller and more spacious than most flip phones we’ve handled. The outer screen measures 3.5 inches with a square 1:1 aspect ratio — great for quick notifications and mirror selfies. Both displays support an adaptive refresh rate from 1Hz to 120Hz and 1440Hz PWM dimming, making scrolling and animations appear smooth and easy on the eyes.
Huawei has paid special attention to design and durability. The phone uses a composite super-tough laminated structure, a titanium alloy support layer, and a basalt waterdrop hinge. It feels sturdy yet elegant in hand, and the IPX8 water resistance rating is reassuring for daily use.
On the camera front, the Pura X packs serious hardware. There’s a 50MP main sensor with an f/1.6 aperture, a 40MP ultra-wide camera, and an 8MP 3.5x telephoto lens. Huawei also added a 1.5MP multi-spectral red maple primary color camera. We’ve started testing some of its AI imaging features and will dive deeper in our review.
Under the hood, reports suggest the phone is powered by the Kirin 9020 chip paired with up to 16GB of RAM and 1TB of storage. The 4720mAh silicon-carbon battery supports 66W wired and 40W wireless charging, which should keep it running easily through the day.
The Pura X ships with HarmonyOS 5, with Huawei promising smoother performance and enhanced privacy features. We’ll be putting that to the test as well.
The device is available in Moon Shadow Grey, Zero White, and Magic Night Black, with stylish red and green leather-backed collector’s editions. Pricing starts at 7,499 yuan ($1,034) in China, with sales beginning March 30th.
Stay tuned for our complete hands-on impressions and detailed review soon.

We covered a list of a bunch of upcoming flagship smartphones that are set to launch soon. So now, here’s a list of new foldable smartphones that you should definitely be hyped about. These models are set to debut with cutting edge tech, new and improved designs, and capable hardware. So whether you’re looking for a flip phone or book style foldable device, here’s the most anticipated foldable phones.
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 & Galaxy Z Flip 7
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 CAD renders by OnLeaks and AndroidHeadlines
The very first entry in our list is the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7 from the South Korean tech giant. Samsung is one of the largest foldable phone makers and its next gen models are expected to debut with various improvements over their predecessors. The Galaxy Z Fold 7 is the top of the line model, which is expected to bring an improved folding design along with the powerful Snapdragon 8 Elite For Galaxy SoC.
One of the biggest improvements could be to its camera systems, with the primary sensor reportedly being a 200MP shooter. Even the under-display selfie camera is supposedly getting some upgrades. This same processor is also rumored to power the Galaxy Z Flip 7. The flip phone might be getting a larger battery pack as well as an improved image processing for better quality pictures.

Motorola Razr 60 Series
Motorola Razr 60
Motorola is well known for its Razr series of flip phones and the upcoming Razr 60 series is set to debut globally soon. The lineup is expected to include the base Razr 60 along with the Razr 60 Ultra (aka Razr+ 2025 in the US market). We covered fresh renders of the base model earlier today, while the Ultra variant was leaked in a Rio Red vegan leather option last month.
It seems that Motorola is bringing fast charging upgrades to the lineup with the base model possibly offering 33W wired fast charging and the Razr 60 Ultra getting 68W charging speeds. It isn’t a great jump from 30W on the Razr 50 for the vanilla model, but the Ultra is going from 45W to 68W, which is a more notable improvement. We can expect other upgrades like a newer chipset, but the camera system might not be getting such a big bump. The Razr 60 Ultra could launch with the 7-core variant of the Snapdragon 8 Elite.
Motorola Razr 60 Ultra
Honor Magic V4
Earlier this month, a fresh leak revealed that a new Honor flagship foldable is also in the works. The Magic V4 surfaced on a Weibo post, which confirmed some of its key specs and features. It may sport a tall 8-inch LTPO inner display with a 120Hz refresh rate and 2K resolution, while the cover screen is a 6.45-inch panel with LPTO and 120Hz refresh rate support.
Honor Magic V3
For optics, the Magic V4 is said to feature a 50MP main camera along with a 200MP 1/1.4-inch sensor with 3x optical zoom. Other notable features include Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen Elite and an ultra slim body that measures less than 9mm.

Huawei has just unveiled its latest Smart Screen S6 Pro series TVs in China, bringing a premium design and top-tier specs aimed at both home entertainment lovers and serious gamers. Pre-orders are now live on JD.com, with official sales kicking off on April 3 at 10:08 AM local time.
Huawei Smart Screen S6 Pro Specifications
The Smart Screen S6 Pro goes all-in on design, featuring an ultra-thin profile that sits just 5mm from the wall thanks to its near zero-gap mount. Huawei has shaved the body thickness by 36%, making the panel blend into modern living spaces almost like a digital canvas. The screen itself is nearly bezel-free with a stunning 99% screen-to-body ratio, giving you a true edge-to-edge viewing experience.
Under the hood, the TV series uses a Super MiniLED panel powered by Huawei’s own Honghu picture engine. It delivers precision backlight control with thousands of dimming zones, making bright highlights and deep shadows pop without crushing details.
The screen is HDR Vivid-certified, covers 94% of the DCI-P3 color gamut, and promises color accuracy with a ΔE of less than or equal to 1.5 — professional-grade, according to Huawei. Motion handling also gets a serious boost, thanks to a 288Hz refresh rate and Honghu’s motion clarity algorithms, making it just as ready for fast-paced action sequences as it is for high-stakes gaming.
Huawei is also pushing AI-powered enhancements, with the TV adjusting contrast, brightness, and color automatically based on the content on the screen. There’s a dedicated gaming UI, that lets gamers tweak settings on the fly.
Audio hasn’t been left behind either. The S6 Pro features Huawei’s Audio Vivid tech for immersive 3D sound, supported by an independent low-frequency design capable of hitting lows down to 60Hz. Expect punchy bass and clear mids and highs, ideal for both blockbuster movie nights and intense game sessions.
Inside, the TV runs on HarmonyOS 4.3 and is powered by a quad-core A73 chipset, paired with 4GB of RAM (expandable to 6GB via virtual RAM) and 128GB of storage. Multi-screen interaction is smooth, with one-tap 4K casting from Huawei smartphones. The included Lingxi remote doubles as a universal controller with voice commands and set-top box controls.
Huawei’s smart ecosystem integrations show up too — with AI fitness tracking, family video calls in 1080p (complete with smart face tracking), and a range of kid-friendly features like eye-protection modes and parental management tools.
Pricing
The Huawei Smart Screen S6 Pro lineup starts at 6,499 yuan (around $900) for the 65-inch model. The 75-inch version costs 8,999 yuan (about $1,245), the 85-inch is priced at 10,999 yuan (around $1,525), and the largest 98-inch variant will set you back 16,999 yuan (roughly $2,355).

OnePlus has been rumored to be working on a new compact flagship smartphone for a while now. This model could be called the OnePlus 13T or OnePlus 13 Mini. While there is no official teaser for this device, a bunch of concept renders have offered us a look at the possible design of the upcoming small premium phone. So let’s check it out.
OnePlus 13 Mini/13T Concept Renders
Resembles the OnePlus 5
The Chinese brand’s upcoming OnePlus 13T was previously seen in mock renders, and now, new concept renders from Xiaohongshu on Weibo have revealed different iterations as well. These concept renders showcase the dual rear cameras in different orientations. Even the LED flash module has multiple variations. But what really caught our eye was how much these designs resemble certain older models.
Resembles the Nord CE 4
One of these includes a horizontally aligned camera setup at the back, which makes it look like the old OnePlus 5 flagship model. In another concept, the OnePlus 13T looks more like the Nord CE 4 with its vertically stacked sensors and LED flash module. One of these even included a variation that featured the Hasselblad collaboration, but it’s unclear whether this model also gets the camera brand’s tuning. Although, every render has a couple of things in common like two cameras at the back and a flat rear panel with rounded corners.
Motorola’s next batch of foldable phones—the Razr 60 and Razr 60 Ultra—is on the way. While the Ultra model has already surfaced in leaks and renders, a new report from XpertPickhas now revealed key details about the standard Razr 60—complete with renders.
And no surprises here, the Razr 60 shares its design DNA with the Ultra model. It features a cover display flanked by a dual-camera setup, though the screen size will likely be smaller here at 3.6 inches, like its predecessor. Meanwhile, the Razr 60 Ultra is expected to sport a larger 4-inch cover display.
Motorola Razr 60 Specifications (Rumored)
The more notable change is on the inside. According to the leak, the Razr 60 will feature a 6.7-inch pOLED HDR10+ foldable screen which is a bit of a downgrade from last year’s 6.9-inch panel.
It’s still Pantone-validated and is now said to support wet-touch functionality, but the decision to shrink the size is a bit surprising. That said, the bezels appear to be nearly identical to last year’s model.
Durability is getting a boost, though. The Razr 60 is rumored to have an IP48 rating which will offer some level of dust protection compared to the IPX8 rating on Razr 50.
Under the hood, the foldable will be powered by MediaTek’s Dimensity 7400x chipset, paired with 12GB of LPDDR4x RAM and up to 512GB of storage. Keeping everything running is a 4,500mAh battery with 30W fast charging support.
On the camera front, the two rings on the cover screen will house a 50MP main lens with OIS and an ultrawide camera—which, according to the leak, will offer 4x more capture range than before. The inner display will feature a 32MP selfie camera like its predecessor.
Motorola is also said to be integrating AI-powered features and a side-mounted fingerprint scanner for security. The foldable will be available in Pantone Gibraltar Sea, Pantone Lightest Sky and Spring Bud.

While both Qualcomm chips support up to 200MP single camera, the 8 Gen 3 supports noise reduction and zero shutter lag at higher resolutions for better low-light performance, reduced latency, and enhanced image quality. The 8 Gen 3 also has a higher bit depth, which means it’ll have superior color accuracy, dynamic range, and data capture speed than 7 Gen 3.
The 8 Gen 3 supports real-time semantic segmentation for photos and videos up to 12 layers. This results in more detailed and visually appealing photos and videos, while no such thing has been mentioned on the Snapdragon 7 Gen 3’s official page.
In terms of video recording, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 supports 8K video recording at 30fps, whereas the Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 maxes out at 4K recording.
Memory
The Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 supports LPDDR5x RAM with up to 4.8GHz frequency, while that on the 7 Gen 3 is LPDDR5 at 3200MHz. The 8 Gen 3 also supports faster UFS 4.0 storage (vs. UFS 3.1 on the 7 Gen 3). The faster RAM and storage in the 8 Gen 3 lead to quicker app loading times and better multitasking performance.
Conclusion
The Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 is a clear winner, offering significantly better performance, gaming capabilities, and connectivity. However, the Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 is still a solid choice for mid-range devices, delivering respectable performance and efficiency.
If you want flagship-grade performance with cutting-edge features, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 is the way to go. But if you’re looking for a cost-effective mid-range option, the Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 remains a capable performer.

Xgimi Play 6 and Play 6e Specifications
The design language is sleek and minimal, with both projectors roughly the size of a milk tea cup, small enough to toss into a bag without second thoughts. The Play 6 has already earned the 2025 German iF Design Award, and it’s clear why.
The integrated 360-degree gimbal not only looks refined but also allows smooth, flexible projection adjustments. Xgimi’s smart design extends to practical details too, like automatic keystone correction and fast autofocus, ensuring you can set up in seconds — even on uneven surfaces or at off-angles.
Under the hood, both models use advanced DLP technology paired with a 0.23-inch DMD chip, delivering 600 CVIA lumens (around 500 ISO lumens). The projectors support native 1080p resolution and can handle 2K and 4K content as well. The throw ratios — 1.21:1 for the Play 6 and 1.2:1 for the Play 6e — mean these projectors can cast large images even in cramped apartments or small hotel rooms.
Portability is more than just size. The Play 6 packs a 20,000mAh battery that offers up to 2.5 hours of continuous video playback and up to 6 hours in audio-only mode. The Play 6e doesn’t come with a built-in battery, but both models can transform into Bluetooth ambient speakers when the projection lid is closed, complete with synced lighting effects.
Xgimi didn’t cut corners on audio. Both devices feature dual 6W speakers, Harman Kardon-branded on the Play 6, and tuned under Xgimi Sound on the Play 6e with Dolby Audio and 360-degree surround sound. Whether you’re watching movies or using them as standalone speakers, they promise a surprisingly rich audio experience for their size.

Both models run on GMUI 6.0, powered by an MT9-series processor with 1.5GB of RAM and 32GB of storage. They also support wireless casting through AirPlay, DLNA, and XGIMI’s own app. Connectivity options are solid, with HDMI (eARC), USB, and Type-C ports, plus dual-band WiFi and Bluetooth 5.1.
Xgimi has also baked in features like MEMC motion compensation, HDR10/HLG support, and its X-VUE picture engine for enhanced color and detail. And while they run quietly at just 28dB, they still manage to deliver efficient performance with power consumption under 65W.
For anyone who’s constantly on the move but refuses to compromise on big-screen entertainment, the Xgimi Play 6 and Play 6e seem like smart, well-rounded options and they’re designed to fit right into your lifestyle, quite literally. These projectors are also expected to hit the global market with MoGo branding later this year.
We’ve also recently covered a detailed roundup of the 5 best budget projectors in 2025 (the list includes Xgimi projectors too) for home and travel, and if you’re looking for something affordable yet reliable, you should definitely check it out.

Motorola has already shared teasers of the upcoming Edge 60 Fusion in India. However, this did not reveal any finer details like its specs or launch timeline, but now, a fresh leak has confirmed a bunch of its key features along with its release date. Read on to find out.
Motorola Edge 60 Fusion Launching on April 2
The latest leak arrives from known tipster Abhishek Yadav who shared the information on X (formerly Twitter). In his tweet, he claimed that the Edge 60 Fusion will be arriving in India on 2nd April 2025. Meanwhile, the date of the first sale is reportedly set for April 9. The post also confirmed a punch of the key specs of the Motorola Edge 60 Fusion like a tall 6.7-inch quad curved AMOLED display that offers a 120Hz refresh rate. This panel likely features a Full HD+ resolution as well.
Motorola Edge 50 Fusion
Under the hood, Yadav states that the device is equipped with the MediaTek Dimensity 7400 SoC. For photography, the rear features a 50MP Sony LYT700 main sensor and a 13MP secondary shooter. This is likely an ultra wide angle lens. The front houses a 32MP shooter for selfies and video calls. A large 5,500mAh battery pack could power the Edge 60 Fusion which should offer fast charging support.
Motorola is apparently building a durable smartphone once again as the leak point at military grade rating (MLT 810 STD) along with an IP69 rating. This means that it can survive drops and shocks while also being dustproof and capable of surviving high pressure and high temperature water jets as well. Unfortunately, pricing details are still at large, so stick around for more as we will be covering any official teasers or leaks that surface in the coming days.

Samsung may be the biggest name in foldables, but when it comes to real innovation, Huawei is making all the bold moves.
The company has already given us book-style and clamshell foldable, and last year, it launched the world’s first tri-fold. Now, Huawei is back with yet another unique form factor: the Pura X, the industry’s first wide foldable smartphone.
At first glance, the Pura X might seem a little unconventional, but it actually makes a lot of sense. Think of it as a clamshell foldable, but wider. Instead of the narrow flip-style foldable, we’re used to, the Pura X gives you extra screen real estate in a horizontal format—something that could change how we use foldable phones.
Huawei Pura X Specifications
On the outside, the Pura X has a 3.5-inch OLED cover display with a 1:1 aspect ratio and a 980×980 resolution. It’s not your typical tall and narrow cover screen—it’s more of a compact, square-shaped display.
Open it up, and you’re greeted with a 6.3-inch OLED main screen boasting a 2120×1320 resolution and a 16:10 aspect ratio. That extra vertical space means more room for reading documents, browsing the web, and running two apps side by side without feeling cramped.
The camera system on the Pura X is no afterthought. It packs a 50 MP primary sensor with OIS, a 40 MP ultra-wide-angle lens, and an 8 MP telephoto sensor with 3.5x optical zoom and 30x digital zoom.
On the front, there’s a 10.7 MP selfie camera. But as with most foldable, the primary camera can double as a selfie shooter.
The device is available with 12GB of RAM and 256GB or 512GB storage. Keeping everything running is a 4,720 mAh battery with 66W wired charging and 40W wireless charging.
The Pura X also debuts Hongmeng OS 5, the latest version of Huawei’s in-house operating system. But as usual, Huawei is keeping the chipset a mystery, refusing to disclose what SoC is powering this device.
The Pura X is also IPX8-rated for water resistance and comes with Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.2, NFC, satellite communication, and has USB 3.1 Type-C port.
Huaewi Pura X Collector’s Edition
Alongside the regular variant, Huawei also launched the Pura X in a Collector Edition. The device comes in a tri-color leather back cover and a few extras, including satellite communication. The Collector’s Edition is also available with 16GB of RAM and storage options of 512GB or 1TB.
Pricing
Pricing starts at RMB 7,499 ($1,038) for the base model, while the Collection Edition comes in at RMB 8,999 ($1,245). It’s not cheap, but for a foldable with this level of innovation, it’s clear Huawei is aiming for the premium crowd.
