Huawei unveils the latest “Pura X” foldable smartphone

March 21, 2025

Huawei has launched the Pura X, a new foldable smartphone that combines both book-style and clamshell designs. The device was recently announced in China alongside the Freebuds 6, which we have talked in a separate article. This article will discuss everything about the latest Huawei Pura X, including its expected price in Nepal, specifications and availability.

Huawei Pura X Overview

Display and Design

The Pura X features a 6.3-inch main display with a 16:10 ratio in portrait orientation. It uses LTPO OLED panels on both sides with a smooth 120 Hz refresh rate. The folding screen offers impressive brightness, reaching up to 2,500 nits at peak. Additionally, the cover panel includes a 3.5-inch square display for quick access to functions.

When unfolded, the device measures 143.2 mm in height and 91.7 mm in width. Folded dimensions reduce to 91.7 mm by 74.3 mm. The hinge uses a classic teardrop design with 1900 MPa-strong space-grade components for durability.

Camera Setup

The Pura X comes with a powerful camera system. The rear setup includes a 50 MP wide camera with f/1.6 aperture, RYYB sensor, and optical image stabilization. Furthermore, it has a 40 MP ultrawide camera with f/2.2 aperture and another RYYB sensor. There’s also an 8 MP telephoto camera with 3.5x optical zoom and OIS. The system includes a spectral image sensor first introduced in the Mate 70 Pro series. For selfies, a 10 MP front camera sits in a punch hole on the main screen.

Battery and Charging

The device houses a 4,720 mAh battery split into two cells. It supports 66W wired charging and 40W wireless charging. For heat management, the phone includes heat-dissipating elements with a graphite plate offering 2000 W/m.k thermal conductivity.

Software and Special Features

The Pura X runs on AOSP HarmonyOS 5.0 rather than HarmonyOS Next. The cover screen supports live wallpapers and customizable animations. Users can access the camera, messaging, health apps, calls, and music players without opening the phone. The device is designed for taking calls in the folded state, with the earpiece placed next to the LED flash. Satellite connectivity is also supported, though only with Chinese satellites and limited to certain memory models.
