HUAWEI launched the Pura X foldable last year, and it was one of the more interesting releases of 2025. Now, HUAWEI is back with the Pura X Max, and it\u2019s taking aim at Apple and Samsung\u2019s expected wide foldables.<\/p>\n

The original Pura X (seen below) was effectively a clamshell foldable held sideways rather than a large, book-style foldable. This clamshell approach meant the cover display was small because it shared space with the camera bump. The new Pura X Max switches to a proper book-style form factor, with a large and wide cover display on the front.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

In fact, the Pura X Max has a 5.4-inch outer screen (LTPO, 3,000 nits peak brightness) and a 7.7-inch inner display (LTPO, 3,500 nits peak brightness). Samsung\u2019s rumored Galaxy Z Fold 8 Wide could broadly match HUAWEI in this regard, as it\u2019s tipped to have a 5.4-inch cover screen and a 7.6-inch folding panel. Meanwhile, the original Pura X had a 3.5-inch outer display and a 6.3-inch folding screen.<\/p>\n

HUAWEI says the new phone has a Kirin 9030 Pro chipset. These recent Kirin chips are generally considered to be a couple of steps behind Qualcomm and MediaTek\u2019s best chips. However, the firm claims a 25% CPU boost, 40% GPU boost, and 70% NPU boost over the Kirin 9020 seen in the original Pura X. The new handset also offers a 5,300mAh battery, 66W wired charging, and 50W wireless charging.<\/p>\n

Otherwise, the Pura X Max has a triple rear camera setup. Expect a 50MP variable aperture main camera (f\/1.4 to f\/4.0), a 12.5MP RYYB ultrawide lens, and a 50MP RYYB 3.5x telephoto shooter. The firm is also offering an improved Red Maple color sensor on the back for more accurately capturing color information.<\/p>\n

The Pura X Max also runs Harmony OS 6.1 in lieu of Android, supports the firm\u2019s M-Pen 3 Mini stylus, and plays nicely with the DJI Osmo Pocket series of action cameras (e.g., direct content transfer). In terms of durability, you can expect an IP58\/59 rating and ultra-thin glass for the foldable display.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

Keen on the Pura X Max? The cheapest model is a 12GB\/256GB variant, which retails for 10,999 yuan (~$1,613). The most expensive model is a 16GB\/1TB variant, which has a recommended price of 13,999 yuan (~$2,053). Needless to say, the RAM crisis and other component price hikes have clearly affected pricing. So don\u2019t be surprised if the phone is significantly more expensive outside China \u2014 if it launches in global markets in the first place.<\/p>\n
