Third-party reviews

What we like about Huawei Pura X (16GB + 1TB)

  • Innovative wide-fold design that redefines media consumption with a 16:10 display aspect ratio
  • Revolutionary main display and a functional 3.5-inch square exterior screen for handling calls and notifications
  • Premium build quality with a sturdy hinge and tactile, robust materials
  • Exceptional camera performance, particularly in low-light conditions and for content creation
  • Snappy and highly optimized software experience via HarmonyOS 5 with new AI assistant features
  • Reliable all-day battery life (4,720 mAh) with fast charging capabilities

What we don't like about Huawei Pura X (16GB + 1TB)

  • Significant learning curve for the unique 'wide-fold' form factor, which can be slippery and difficult to use one-handed
  • Lack of native Google Mobile Services (GMS) and 5G connectivity in international markets due to ongoing restrictions
  • Mid-range chipset performance (Kirin 9020) that may struggle with high-end gaming compared to other premium flagships
  • Premium pricing that is higher than many conventional flagship smartphones
  • Limited global availability, making it difficult to purchase outside of China
  • Occasional app adaptation issues where third-party software may not fully utilize the unique screen layout

Verdict

The Huawei Pura X (16GB RAM + 1TB storage Collector's Edition) is an innovative foldable smartphone running HarmonyOS 5.0, featuring a unique, book-style folding design that opens to a 6.3-inch 16:10 aspect ratio OLED internal display and a functional 3.5-inch square OLED cover screen. Key hardware specifications include a powerful Kirin 9020 processor, a versatile triple rear camera system (50MP main with OIS, 40MP ultrawide, 8MP telephoto with 3.5x optical zoom), a 4720mAh battery with 66W wired and 40W wireless charging support, and IPX8 water resistance. Main pros are its revolutionary wide inner screen that offers a superior media consumption and document viewing experience with fewer black bars, excellent camera performance, and robust build quality. The primary cons are the absence of Google Mobile Services and related app compatibility issues outside of China, which can lead to software bugs and app optimization hiccups for global users, along with a chunky design when folded and a premium price point.
