Apple and Samsung have been rumored to be preparing passport-style foldables with wide aspect ratios for a while. But before those two companies, Huawei just went ahead and confirmed its own version along with its launch date.
The new wide foldable will be called the Huawei Pura X Max, which is scheduled to debut in China on April 20. The device will launch alongside the Huawei Pura 90 Pro.
The Pura X Max is expected to build on the design of the original Pura X, which featured a wide aspect ratio.
While official display specifications have not been disclosed, the new model is expected to include larger and wider covers and inner screens compared to its predecessor.
Huawei has revealed the phone’s design ahead of launch. The device features a triple rear camera system housed in a pill-shaped horizontal module. It also includes selfie cameras on both the outer and inner displays.
According to Huawei’s official online store, the Pura X Max will be available in Interstellar Blue, Olive Gold, Phantom Night Black, Vibrant Orange, and Zero Degree White color options.
The smartphone will be offered in multiple configurations, including 12GB RAM with 256GB or 512GB storage, and 16GB RAM with 512GB or 1TB storage.
Pre-orders for the device are already open through Huawei’s official online store.
While detailed specifications have not yet been confirmed, the Pura X Max is expected to be powered by a Kirin 9030 series chipset.
