Huawei Pura X View Debuts as a Wide-Screen Phone With a 7,000mAh Battery

The Huawei Pura X View has become 2026's first wide-format slab phone, arriving with a 16:9.5 display that skips the folding hinge other manufacturers have leaned on for extra screen space.

A wider, shorter display
The Huawei Pura X View uses a 6.39-inch panel at 2232 by 1320 pixels, a proportion closer to a small tablet turned sideways than a typical phone screen. Huawei says the panel has 1.05mm bezels, 6,500 nits of peak brightness, and 2,160Hz PWM dimming.

Thin build
The phone measures 6.68mm thick and weighs 201 grams, keeping the wide body from feeling bulky in the hand despite the extra screen width compared with a standard slab phone.

Battery life
A 7,000mAh battery sits inside the Huawei Pura X View, a large capacity that should comfortably outlast most flagship phones on a single charge given the device's size.

Storage and software
Huawei offers the phone in three memory configurations, 12/256GB, 12/512GB, and 12/1024GB, running HarmonyOS 7.0 rather than Android, which limits access to Google's app ecosystem in most markets.

Pricing and the full showcase
Huawei has not confirmed final pricing, though early leaks point to a starting price near 5,999 yuan. The company plans a full showcase on August 28, 2026, where complete specifications and pricing across all three storage tiers are expected to be confirmed.

Part of a wider-screen trend
The Huawei Pura X View arrives as several manufacturers experiment with wider, non-folding displays as an alternative to book-style foldables, offering some of the same extra screen real estate without the hinge, crease, or added weight.

How it compares to foldables
Where a book-style foldable gains extra width by unfolding, the Huawei Pura X View gets there with a single fixed panel, which avoids the visible crease and the added thickness that folding hinges still bring, at the cost of the fold-flat portability those phones offer.

Camera and connectivity
Huawei has kept detailed camera specifications for the closer showcase, though the Pura X View is expected to carry the multi-lens setup typical of the Pura line, alongside 5G connectivity and Huawei's own app store in place of Google Mobile Services.
