Huawei has a launch event scheduled for April 20, where it is set to refresh its Pura lineup. The update includes the Pura 90 series, which Huawei has already started teasing, and a foldable in the Pura X lineup. Now, according to tipster Digital Chat Station, this new model is called the Pura X Max.

The Pura foldable line from Huawei is known for wide-folding devices, and no surprises, the Pura X Max follows the same route. 

Huawei Pura X Max Specs (Expected)

However, unlike the original Pura X, the X Max is said to be a horizontally folding device. The design is the same as what’s expected for the Apple iPhone Fold (or Ultra, as rumors say), but Huawei will be the first to launch such a device. It will feature a 7.69-inch WQHD+ inner display and a 5.5-inch outer screen.

The inner display will offer more usable space, while the outer screen is designed for quick, everyday tasks. Huawei is reportedly sticking with a 16:10 aspect ratio, similar to its earlier model.

Lucky for us, another tipster, Fixed Focus Digital, has shared the foldable’s front and back design on Weibo.

There are also expected upgrades under the hood. The Pura X Max is rumored to use Huawei’s Kirin 9030 chip, which is also said to power the Pura 90 series. The chip reportedly uses a new 9-core architecture, with improvements in overall performance.

Moreover, the device is expected to include Huawei’s Red Maple Quad Camera system, with a particular focus on improving the telephoto lens.

As we mentioned earlier, this type of foldable design will not remain exclusive to Huawei for long. Apple is working on a foldable iPhone with a similar tablet-like aspect ratio, possibly arriving in September. Meanwhile, Samsung is also working on a wide-foldable called the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Wide.
