Huawei Pura X View swaps traditional format for 16:9.5

The Huawei Pura X View gets a passport-style format with a 16:9.5 screen. The model was launched in China and has a 7000 mAh battery.

The device has a 6.39-inch display (1320×2232), with brightness of 6500 nits and a 120 Hz refresh rate. The passport design allows more screen space without increasing the size of the device. The smartphone is equipped with the Kirin 9030s SoC, 12 GB of RAM and 256/512/1024 GB of storage. Running HarmonyOS 7, the Pura X View combines innovation with practicality. The model is only available in China and there is no information on availability in Brazil. Priced at US$ 896 (converted from CNY 5,999) (approx. US$ 885 (converted from EUR 790)) in Europe. Release date in Brazil not announced.

The Huawei Pura X View has 1.05 mm bezels, which allow a narrower design without losing screen space. The 6.39-inch display (1320×2232) shows more visible content, making it possible to watch videos and browse with greater clarity. But the passport format also brings a challenge: the device is larger than traditional models, but not as large as a tablet. The design is a bold choice, but it may be a hindrance for those who need a free hand to operate the smartphone. The 16:9.5 screen is the highlight, but the size of the device may be an obstacle for some users.

Huawei leads innovation with passport-style format

The Huawei Pura X View is part of a trend of innovative form factors, such as the iPhone Duo and the Galaxy Z Fold 8, but keeps the practicality of a traditional device. The model was launched in China and has high-performance specifications, including a Kirin 9030s SoC, 12 GB of RAM and an OLED display. Even before the rumors about the iPhone Duo, the Chinese brand had already launched the Pura X and Pura X Max, with a passport-style format.

The Huawei Pura X View swaps the traditional format for a 16:9.5 one, gaining room for a larger screen and higher brightness while keeping thin bezels. The 6.39-inch display runs at 120 Hz and handles complex tasks and games with greater smoothness. Bezels of 1.05 mm and the passport-style design reduce the exposed screen area, increasing resistance to scratches and smudges.
