Foldable phones have become increasingly common, but Huawei’s Pura X Max introduces a new perspective. The device moves away from the taller, narrower designs of its competitors and embraces a wider, more productivity-focused form factor. It offers a fresh take on how foldable phones can combine functionality and immersive experiences.

Interestingly, Apple is reportedly working on a similar design style for its first foldable phone, which may adopt the same wide foldable form factor and is expected to launch later this year.

Wider Foldable Design

The Huawei Pura X Max uses a horizontally wide display design, making it stand out in the foldable phone market. The inner display measures 7.7 inches with a nearly 4:3 aspect ratio (14.1:10), while the 5.4-inch outer screen has a similar wide layout. This aspect ratio gives the device the feel of a compact tablet instead of a tall and narrow smartphone.

Huawei’s choice of a wider screen benefits users by offering more horizontal space. Watching movies feels cinematic with minimal black bars, reading eBooks becomes less cramped, and games offer a better view of the action.

The design also makes it easier to handle productivity tasks like editing documents and viewing presentations, where extra screen space significantly improves the experience. Unlike other foldables that prioritize narrow portability, Huawei’s approach emphasizes usability and functionality.

Durability and Aesthetics

Huawei enhances durability with a newly designed Basalt Waterdrop Hinge. This hinge increases the available screen area by 16% while improving drop resistance by 33%. The inner display is built with three composite layers, including ultra-thin glass, carbon fiber, and a molecular buffer layer.

Huawei claims these materials improve impact resistance by 50% and compression resistance by 20%. The outer screen uses second-generation Kunlun Glass for extra protection. Additionally, the phone is rated IP58/IP59 for dust and water resistance.

The device also focuses on aesthetics. The rear camera area features a ceramic bezel surrounded by luminous textures. The phone comes in five colors, including Midnight Black, Zero White, Olive Gold, Interstellar Blue, and Vibrant Orange.

Despite its large displays, the Pura X Max remains slim. It measures only 5.2mm thick when unfolded and 11.2mm when folded, making it thinner than many of its competitors. The weight of 229 grams feels reasonable for a phone with these capabilities.

Performance and AI Features

The Kirin 9030 Pro chipset powers the Pura X Max. Huawei says it delivers 30% more performance than the Kirin 9020 found in the original Pura X. The chipset is designed for seamless multitasking and supports real-time ray tracing for advanced graphics processing.

The phone runs HarmonyOS 6.1, which brings integrations like Xiaoyi AI. This AI assistant helps with contextual suggestions, task management, and travel assistance.

The Pura X Max also supports Huawei’s M-Pen 3 Mini stylus. The stylus allows users to take notes, create sketches, or edit images with precision.

Cameras

Huawei upgraded the camera system on the Pura X Max to ensure flagship-grade imaging. The rear camera system includes a 50MP RYYB main sensor with a variable aperture ranging from f/1.4 to f/4.0. It also features a 50MP periscope lens that supports zoom photography, while a 12.5MP ultra-wide lens enables versatile shots.

The company included its second-generation XMAGE camera software, which optimizes lighting, color accuracy, and composition. Huawei added 8MP selfie cameras to both displays to support quick video calls and casual photography. The outer screen lets users use the main camera for selfies, enabling high-resolution front-facing photos.

Why the Pura X Max Is a Game-Changer?

The Huawei Pura X Max shows how foldable phones can rethink design priorities. Its wide form factor brings a tablet-like experience to the foldable market. Instead of limiting itself to narrow portability, it offers optimized features for productivity and content consumption.

The advanced features, including the durable hinge, powerful chipset, and XMAGE cameras, elevate its appeal. The Pura X Max distinguishes itself in the foldable phone market, seamlessly bridging the gap between smartphones and tablets, an accomplishment few devices have achieved.

This breakdown covers its current pricing, trade-in values, and how it compares to the newer iPhone 17 base model.

How Much Does the iPhone 16 Pro Cost in 2026?

The iPhone 16 Pro’s pricing has dropped significantly since its original launch at $999. As of April 2026, the 128GB model starts at $600 to $800, depending on the retailer and whether it is a new or renewed premium model.

Higher storage models, like the 512GB variant, are seeing substantial price cuts and can often be found retailing around $819 on platforms like Amazon. The top-tier 1TB Titanium model, which still appeals to power users, is available for approximately $850-$900.

What’s the Trade-In Value of the iPhone 16 Pro?

The iPhone 16 Pro continues to hold respectable trade-in value, providing multiple options for users planning to upgrade to the iPhone 17 series.

Apple’s Trade-In Program offers up to $550 in direct credit, which can be applied toward newer Apple products. US carriers like Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile are offering trade-in credits between $800 and $1,000 on eligible unlimited plans. Trade-in sites such as Swappa and Gazelle provide cash offers ranging from $450 to $600, depending on the phone’s condition.

Carrier promotions deliver the highest trade-in value, especially for customers who plan to upgrade their devices alongside their phone plans.

iPhone 16 Pro vs iPhone 17: Which Should You Choose?

The iPhone 17 introduces upgraded performance and internal hardware, but the iPhone 16 Pro maintains an edge in hardware materials and photography features. Pricing plays a significant role in this decision, with the iPhone 17 starting at $799 for the base model, while the iPhone 16 Pro can now be found starting at $600 to $800 for the 128GB variant.

The iPhone 16 Pro features a durable and premium titanium frame, while the iPhone 17 uses lighter aluminum. The two models differ significantly in their camera systems. The iPhone 16 Pro’s 12MP telephoto lens with 5x optical zoom remains unmatched in the iPhone 17 base model. The iPhone 17 lacks a dedicated telephoto lens and relies solely on 2x optical zoom, making it less ideal for photography enthusiasts.

However, the iPhone 17 delivers better overall performance. Its A19 processor and 12GB of RAM outperform the iPhone 16 Pro’s A18 Pro chip and 8GB of RAM. This makes the 17 a solid choice for users focused on future-proofing and getting the most out of their phone in terms of speed and multitasking.

But overall, the iPhone 16 Pro will still outperform the base iPhone 17 due to its superior camera system, making it an obviously better deal compared to the iPhone 17.

In a smartphone-dominated world, some users are switching back to simpler devices. These dumb phones focus on essential functionality while offering a modern twist with smart features.

Many run on lightweight operating systems like KaiOS, which lets them support key apps such as Google Maps and YouTube. For users who prioritize navigation but prefer a basic device, these phones strike an excellent balance.

While these devices lack the processing power of smartphones, they excel in battery life, durability, and simplicity. Here are the best dumb phones with Google Maps and YouTube support currently available.

Nokia 2780 Flip

The Nokia 2780 Flip offers a reliable option for users who need basic features with modern connectivity. It runs on KaiOS 3.1 and supports apps like Google Maps and YouTube. The phone comes with a 2.7-inch internal display and a 1.77-inch external screen, allowing you to check notifications or caller ID without flipping it open.

The device combines a classic clamshell design with modern features like a Snapdragon 215 processor, 4 GB storage (expandable via microSD), USB Type-C charging, and M4/T4 hearing aid compatibility. It also includes an FM radio, making it a reliable choice for navigation and essential tasks.

Nokia 2760 Flip

The Nokia 2760 Flip serves as an affordable version of the 2780 Flip. This model has KaiOS 3.1 for access to Google Maps and YouTube, but lacks key features like expandable storage or an FM radio. It includes the same 5 MP camera and Snapdragon 215 processor, providing solid functionality for a budget phone.

The 2760 Flip offers modern features like a USB Type-C port and 4G LTE support, making it a solid choice for users seeking basic 4G connectivity without the cost of advanced hardware.

Nokia 6300 4G

The Nokia 6300 4G is a great choice for those who prefer a traditional candy bar design. The phone has a 2.4-inch display and a durable body that fits well in the hand. It also runs on KaiOS and supports YouTube and Google Maps as usual.

The phone uses the Snapdragon 210 processor, 512 MB RAM, and 4 GB of storage (expandable to 32 GB via microSD). It features a 3.5mm headphone jack, Wi-Fi hotspot capabilities, reliable 4G LTE, and a functional but outdated Micro-USB port.

Nokia 8000 4G

The Nokia 8000 4G targets users who want a premium design in a feature phone. It has a glass-like finish and a chrome-finished midframe, giving it a more stylish look compared to other dumb phones. The phone includes a 2.8-inch screen, which is larger than the 6300 4G.

The phone features a Snapdragon 210 processor, 512 MB RAM for smooth navigation, and efficient performance on the KaiOS platform with Google Maps. It also includes a 2 MP rear camera for basic photography. It uses a Micro-USB port for charging, which could disappoint some users. Still, the Nokia 8000 4G remains an attractive choice for those who want functionality wrapped in a sleek design.

Nokia 8110 4G

The Nokia 8110 4G is a nostalgic device with practical value. Its curved slider design makes it stand out, and users appreciate its retro charm. The phone runs on KaiOS.

The 8110 4G uses the Snapdragon 205 processor, offering decent performance. It features a 2 MP rear camera, 25-day standby battery life, and a functional but outdated Micro-USB charging port, making it a good choice for those favoring iconic design over cutting-edge hardware.

TCL Flip 2

The TCL Flip 2 competes directly with Nokia’s clamshell models. This phone includes a 2.8-inch screen and a 1.44-inch external display for notifications. With 1 GB RAM and 8 GB internal storage, it feels faster than most dumb phones on the market.

The TCL phone runs on KaiOS 3.0, supporting Google Maps and YouTube, and features a USB Type-C charging port, a larger 1850 mAh battery, and a 2 MP camera.

Alcatel Go Flip 4

The Alcatel Go Flip 4 is another solid clamshell phone with YouTube and Google Maps support. It features a 2.8-inch display, 4 GB of storage, and a 1.44-inch secondary screen for quick alerts. Like the TCL Flip 2, it includes USB Type-C charging, KaiOS 3.0, and basic smartphone apps.

The 1850 mAh battery provides great runtime, and the phone supports 4G LTE with hotspot functionality for up to eight devices. While the hardware is nearly identical to the TCL Flip 2, this phone has better availability through US carriers, making it a practical choice for everyday users.

Xiaomi has introduced its latest energy-efficient air conditioner, the Mijia Super Energy-Saving 2026 Model (1HP), in the Chinese market. The new product is now available for purchase on JD.com at an affordable price of 1,699 yuan ($249).

Mijia Super Energy-Saving AC 2026 Specifications

The air conditioner features a sleek, minimalist white design that matches Xiaomi’s signature aesthetic. It uses a variable frequency (inverter) system to support both cooling and heating functions, allowing it to perform well in all seasons.

The system achieves a top-tier energy efficiency rating under China’s new standards with an Annual Performance Factor (APF) of 5.45. Xiaomi claims this model significantly reduces electricity consumption compared to less efficient units, thanks to its Lingyun intelligent energy-saving algorithm.

Xiaomi has fitted the air conditioner with a 9.8cc compressor, delivering a cooling capacity of 2670W, adjustable between 150W and 4650W. For heating, it offers 4570W rated output, a maximum of 6100W, and a 1050W PTC auxiliary heater.

The air conditioner moves air efficiently with a cross-flow fan that delivers an impressive airflow rate of 740m³/h. It supports vertical and horizontal swing modes to evenly distribute air throughout a room. Xiaomi has also included an upper and lower airflow system, which prevents direct cold air drafts for improved comfort.

To address hygiene concerns, the unit includes self-cleaning capabilities for both the indoor and outdoor units. The system reduces bacteria buildup and ensures cleaner air over time. Xiaomi has added intelligent features such as automatic clogging reminders and deep-cleaning functions to keep the unit running efficiently.

The air conditioner integrates with HyperOS Connect and the Mijia app, enabling AI-powered automation, cloud-based remote maintenance, and OTA software updates.

Xiaomi has optimized noise levels for quiet settings like bedrooms. The indoor unit operates as quietly as 18dB(A) on its lowest setting, while higher speeds remain within 40dB(A). The outdoor unit produces around 50dB(A) of noise during operation.

The indoor unit measures 795 x 310 x 205 mm and weighs 9.5 kg, while the outdoor unit weighs 22 kg and measures 813 x 560 x 311 mm.
