The Huawei Pura X was launched on March 20th, 2025. The smartphone’s design looks unique and resembles the OG design of the Blackberry Passport because of the large 16:10 display, which is being used on the foldable. It’s a design refresh for the clamshell foldable segment, too.
Design
Let’s take a look at the design. It’s a weird-looking phone, to be honest, because of that 16:10 widescreen, and the phone has IPX8 water resistance, so there is no worry about water, Huawei says it has so many antennas, and with an AI algorithm, it should provide strong and stable signals on the phone, which is good, and despite being weird, it’s just 7.15 mm thin when it’s unfolded and weighs 195 grams, which is due to a bigger battery.
There are five colors available on the phone. The stylish red and green have geometric segmentation on the design and are limited to the collector’s edition; the colors Moon Shadow Grey, Zero White, and Phantom Night Black come with transparent glass material on the back side for an elegant design, and the options aren’t restricted like the collector’s edition colors.
Display
The internal screen is a large, flexible 6.5-inch display with a 16:10 ratio, and the outer display is a 3.5-inch OLED display. Both displays come with LTPO 2.0 and a 1-120 Hz adaptive refresh rate. Both also have 1440 Hz PWM dimming, which is quite good for the eyes when watching in a dark place. The internal screen has a 300 Hz touch sampling rate, while the outer display has a 240 Hz touch sampling rate, and the inner display is protected by UTG glass.
Performance
The Huawei Pura X is powered by the Kirin 9020 chipset. It’s an octa-core CPU with 1 Taishan big core clocked at 2.5 GHz and 3 Taishan mid-cores clocked at 2.15 GHz. For efficiency, it has Arm Cortex A510 cores clocked at 1.53 GHz. For some context, this chipset seems to have been made before the US banned Huawei. It has a Maloon 920 GPU, and according to the benchmarks, this performance is equal to a mid-range phone in 2025.
The chipset is fabbed on an N+2 node from SMIC, which is reportedly a 7nm process node, though it does not that ahead in the performance race. Despite using a 7nm node, the overall efficiency of the chipset seems pretty good, and the phone comes with 12GB of RAM as default and moves to 16GB on the collector’s edition, for cooling the SoC, Huawei has used a 2000 W/m-k graphene sheet, which helps in better heat dissipation.
Battery
The phone features a 4720 mAh battery that supports 66 W supercharging, 40 W wireless charging, and 7.5 W reverse wireless charging. On a clamshell-designed phone, these kinds of batteries look so good.
OS
The phone runs on Harmony OS 5 and doesn’t support Google’s frameworks. The phone also has an AI assistant named Xiaoyi, which is based on Huawei’s Pengu model, and the phone has an Ark engine that provides smooth animations on the phone. Despite Google’s reliance, Huawei has created many features, such as an AI assistant that can answer calls and AI teleportation, which is used to transfer files across devices.
Pricing
The Huawei Pura X comes in 4 variants. The 12+256 variant starts at 7499 yuan, which is 88500 INR when converted, and the 12+512 variant at 7999 yuan, which is 9500 INR when converted. Then comes the Founders Edition, which has two colours reserved, which are stylish red and green, so the 16+512 variant is at 8999 yuan, which is 1 lakh 6 thousand INR when converted, and 16+1TB and 16+1TB, which is the top-end variant, and it’s going to cost around 1.2 lakhs INR when you convert the prices.
