TL;DR HUAWEI has launched the Pura X View, with a passport-like wide 16:9.5 aspect ratio on a 6.39-inch OLED screen and up to 6,500 nits peak brightness.
Despite measuring just 6.68mm thick, the device houses a 7,000mAh silicon-anode battery with 66W wired and 50W wireless charging. It is powered by the Kirin 9030S processor and runs HarmonyOS 7. It also offers a 200MP main camera, stylus support, and IP68/IP69 protection.
The Pura X View is currently limited to China, and HUAWEI has not yet announced plans for a global expansion.
Following a half-announcement last month, HUAWEI has finally taken the wraps off the HUAWEI Pura X View. While the company has spent plenty of energy pushing bleeding-edge form factors like the Mate XT 2 tri-folding phone, the Pura X View takes a delightfully weird turn in the traditional candybar phone space by introducing an unconventional, passport-like 16:9.5 wide-screen aspect ratio.
As announced by the company on Weibo, the HUAWEI Pura X View is being pitched to users who want a wider phone for reading, gaming, and split-screen productivity without committing to a wide-screen foldable. It features a 6.39-inch 120Hz OLED display (2,232 × 1,320 resolution) with thin symmetrical 1.05mm bezels, high-frequency 2,160Hz PWM dimming, and an eye-searing peak brightness of up to 6,500 nits. The display is protected by Kunlun Glass and also supports the HUAWEI M-Pen 3 Mini stylus.
Even more impressive is the packaging: despite housing a massive 7,000mAh silicon-anode battery, the chassis measures just 6.68mm thick and weighs 201 grams.
Under the hood, the Pura X View is powered by HUAWEI’s in-house Kirin 9030S processor, aided by a vapor chamber cooling system. It pairs 12GB of RAM with 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB of onboard storage and runs HarmonyOS 7 out of the box. Wired fast charging tops out at 66W, alongside 50W wireless charging support. The phone also brings IP68 and IP69 water- and dust-resistance ratings.
On the imaging front, HUAWEI has equipped the Pura X View with a 200MP RYYB primary sensor with f/1.8 aperture and OIS, accompanied by a 50MP periscope telephoto shooter with OIS, an 8MP ultrawide lens that doubles as a macro lens, and HUAWEI’s dedicated multi-spectral color sensor for truer skin tones and white balance. Around the front, you get a 50MP selfie shooter.
