At first look, the Huawei Pura X resembles a device like the Galaxy Z Flip, but its shape is quite intriguing with an aspect ratio of 16:10. As usual, Huawei does not share which SoC is inside the Pura X, but it is probably a variant of the Kirin 9010.

Display and Camera Features

The Huawei Pura X features a 6.3-inch internal display (2,120 × 1,320 pixels) that supports a refresh rate of 1-120 Hz, a touch sampling rate of 300 Hz, and a PWM frequency of 1440 Hz. The internal display has similar specifications but comes with a smaller 3.5-inch panel (980 × 980). Above the screen, there are three camera sensors, which is uncommon for devices with this kind of design.

The main sensor is a 50 MP lens with optical image stabilization (OIS), paired with a 40 MP ultra-wide sensor and an 8 MP telephoto lens offering 3.5x optical zoom and 30x digital zoom. On the front, the Huawei Pura X has a 10.7 MP camera. It’s not clear why it is there since users might not need it often. The main camera setup can also serve as a selfie camera due to the second display.

The Huawei Pura X Collection edition upgrades this to 16 GB of RAM and storage options of 512 GB or 1 TB. The foldable smartphone is powered by a 4,720 mAh battery, which supports charging at 66 Watts through a cable and 40 Watts wirelessly.
