Huawei’s latest flip phone, the Pura X, is out in China

Huawei has unveiled its latest flip phone, the Pura X, in China. Ditching Android app support entirely, it runs on HarmonyOS Next and introduces Huawei’s in-house AI assistant, Harmony Intelligence.

The clamshell foldable features a 6.3-inch inner display with a 16:10 aspect ratio—touted as the widest on any flip phone yet. On the outside, a 3.5-inch screen flexes a 120Hz LTPO 2.0 adaptive refresh rate. Both panels offer 1440Hz PWM dimming and 300Hz touch sampling rate.

Under the hood, Huawei keeps the chipset under wraps, though whispers suggest a Kirin 9010 variant might be in play. As for optics, the Pura X has a triple-camera setup with a 50MP OIS primary sensor, flanked by a 40MP ultra-wide macro and an 8MP OIS telephoto. Up front, a 10.7MP sensor is tucked inside for selfies and video calls.

Huawei’s Pura X is powered by a 4,720mAh silicon-carbon battery with 66W wired fast charging and a 40W wireless option. An IPX8 rating ensures it can survive an unexpected splash, while a full suite of sensors—ranging from an IR blaster to a gesture sensor—adds a touch of futuristic finesse. Security is handled by a side-mounted fingerprint scanner.

The Pura X lands in China with a starting price of CNY 7499 (roughly ₹89,000).
