The Huawei PuraXMax, which will have a book-like, widefold design, will be unveiled alongside the Huawei Pura 90 and Huawei Pura 90 ProMax models, all launching simultaneously on April 20th. Prior to the official unveiling, Huawei is dropping hints on social media by showcasing the slimmest folding phones and horizontal pill-shaped cameras at the rear.

Speculations about Apple's foldable iPhone are already surfacing, while Samsung's upcoming Galaxy Z Flip 8 is set to launch in July. The early release of Huawei's foldable phone may help it secure an edge in the competitive market for foldable smartphones.

In terms of design, the Pura X Max comes in a form factor that is between a regular flip-phone and a book-foldable smartphone. It's expected to offer a more natural experience for landscape-oriented tasks like video streaming, gaming, and multitasking. The smartphone features a triple camera setup on the back, and its rear panel is inspired by last year's Pura X, featuring a textured design. Both the inner and outer screens feature a punch-hole camera, and its frame is completely flat. Preliminary images also suggest that the display will have minimal creases, though full details will be revealed at launch.

While Huawei hasn't yet revealed its full specifications, leaked information suggests that the device could feature a 7.69-inch inner display with a WQHD+ resolution. It could also feature a 5.5-inch cover screen. This smartphone is expected to use the Kirin 9030 chipset.

The Chinese tech giant has begun taking pre-orders for its upcoming foldable smartphone. The smartphone is available in several configurations, including 12GB of RAM with 256GB of storage, 12GB of RAM with 512GB of storage, a 16GB RAM/512GB 'Collector's Edition', and a 16GB RAM/1TB 'Collector's Edition'.

In terms of colors, the Pura X Max is expected to be available in blue, white, orange, and black. Pricing and global availability details are currently unknown.

The Huawei Pura X was launched in China on April 20, 2026. It features a foldable LTPO2 OLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate and up to 2,500 nits of peak brightness, as well as a secondary 3.5-inch cover screen. The device is powered by the Kirin 9020 chipset, paired with up to 16GB of RAM and 1TB of internal storage.

For photography, it features a triple rear camera setup that includes a 50MP primary sensor, an 8MP telephoto lens with 3.5x optical zoom, and a 40MP ultrawide camera. It also has a 10.7MP front camera. The smartphone is powered by a 4,720mAh battery that supports 66W wired and 40W wireless charging, and also has reverse charging capability.
