The wait is over as Huawei has showcased its first wide-screen smartphone – the Pura X View. The mid-sized device with an extremely broad display claims to deliver a formidable experience, perfect for those who love watching movies or playing games!
While we have been expecting to see Huawei’s wide non-foldable phone next month, the company has surprised everyone by introducing the Pura X View at the HarmonyOS Smart Mobility Enjoy G9 electric vehicle launch event.
Huawei Pura X View debuts with a 6.68mm ultra-slim design and weighs 201 grams. A glimpse at the device shows it as a twin of the Pura X Max, but with a folding hinge.
Display – Huawei Pura X View equips the industry’s first 16:9.5 wide screen with uniform, slimmer bezels surrounding the display measuring 1.05mm. The screen-to-body ratio has hit 96.1%, while the overall screen size is 6.39 inches.
Richard Yu, the Chairman of Huawei Consumer Business, mentioned that the device has a display area of 114.27 cm². Even though the screen is small, it can offer a greater display content area compared to many 6.9-inch regular phone models.
Pura X View sports an OLED screen panel with 2232 x 1320 pixel resolution, 2160Hz PWM dimming, 1000000:1 contrast ratio, and 6500-nit peak brightness.
Design – Huawei has maintained the racetrack-like camera bar on the back of the Pura X View wide phone, followed by a striped texture throughout the panel. It comes in four premium color schemes:
- Shadow Red
- Linen Grey
- Zero White
- Phantom Black
The company has further packed a 7000mAh battery into the flagship phone despite its compact and slim design. Huawei says:
Pura X View phone supports high-definition video playback, high-definition reading, high-definition gaming, and high-definition office work!
Another highlight of the Pura X View is that it is Huawei’s first phone to come out of the box with stable HarmonyOS 7.0 software version. While many devices are still eyeing the public beta program of the new iteration, the new wide phone already has perks.
Pre-orders for the Pura X View will begin on August 28. In the meantime, you can check the features of this wide non-foldable smartphone below.
