Huawei challenges conventional foldable designs with the Pura X, a hybrid of a compact tablet and a flip smartphone. Its 6.3-inch, 16:10 display offers a unique portrait orientation, while the cover boasts a 3.5-inch square display and a triple-camera setup.
Innovative Design
The Pura X's wider form factor allows rotation when unfolded, functioning as a compact tablet. Folded, it resembles a traditional flip phone. This design offers a practical balance between smartphone and tablet functionality. For other innovative phone designs, check out the Oppo Find X8S.

The triple-camera system includes a 50MP wide, 40MP ultrawide, and an 8MP telephoto lens with 3.5x optical zoom. A spectral image sensor is also included. The phone houses a 4,720mAh battery with 66W wired and 40W wireless charging, along with advanced cooling technology. While the chipset details are undisclosed, the Pura X runs HarmonyOS 5.0.
