Huawei Pura X hands-on

11 April 2025
A closer look at what could become a new category of foldable - not quite a flip, not quite a book-style foldable either, but combining advantages from both.

        We absolutely need a Global edition of this

          it is so cute, i don't know why lol
          also finally, after years, a phone to actually watch youtube on without massive bars (well not actually because you can't install it, but that's besides the point)

            I think Huawei got something going with this aspect ratio. Waiting for Honor to release their version, or for others like Samsung to copy it. Current phones are getting larger, but doing anything productive on it like editing a document is a pain due to the tall aspect ratio.

                        HarmonyOS NEXT’s kernel does not contain the AOSP framework compatibility layer or Android libraries so it doesn't block APK installs, it literally does not support APK's

                                I love 16:10… it’s the “Golden ratio”

                                but why can’t we get 18:9 smartphones with under display selfie camera?

                                I’ve seen a lot of youtubers seitching to 18:9 (Univisium), because 18:9 perfectly fits the iPhone space area below the dynamic island. It seems 18:9 is the future.

                                Why isn’t there a Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S without a chin?! 👀

                                  Now imagine this with a 4:3 or 3:2 aspect ratio inside screen…

                                      I'd like to see this adding a 3.5 jack,then not only great for viewing media, could also be fantastic as a music player .
                                      So much potential here could be the perfect all-rounder

                                        I really wouldn't mind a regular non-clamshell phone of that width.
