Huawei schedules Pura event for next week

Huawei confirmed its Pura Pioneer Festival event for next week, March 20. The event will see at least one new smartphone announcement alongside more details for HarmonyOS Next - Huawei’s first operating system built independently of Android with an in-house kernel.

According to recent reports, we should see the debut of the Pocket 3 flip foldable. That device is rumored to bring a 6.28-inch folding screen with an unusual 3:2 aspect ratio. The Pocket 3 has previously been described as an iPad mini that folds up, and given that the event will be Pura-themed, it may end up being a member of the Pura series.

Huawei also posted a teaser video for the new device, which suggests it may feature a rollable screen that expands to the side. The teaser also mentions 1610 which could be a hint at the 16:10 aspect ratio when the display is fully expanded.

Huawei’s Celia assistant is expected to gain DeepSeek integration and we should also see the debut of new wireless earbuds and a new Aito electric vehicle.
