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.

Sort by:

It's a shitty company controlled by Communist, but do they innovate? Yes they do, way more than Apple or Samsung.

    Am super excited about this form factor. Easy to read text, watch videos /pix and easier to type (wider keyboard). The current form factor of roughly 20:9 for most phones are not user friendly.
    Really hope Huawei will release it globally, esp with Harmony 4.x

              Hope huawei release $600 or less variant with this same form factor for the rest of the world excluding US.

                If you open Huawei Appgallery and search any Google related app (apart from Google Wallet/Pay) it will prompt you to install MicroG as well as the app you desire.

                You'll then be able to log into your Google account, safely and it will sync across any other apps that may require Google sign in (Chrome, Maps, Drive etc).

                  We need a global version of this

                  Daddy Huawei please!!!!

                        We absolutely need a Global edition of this

                          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
