After Huawei<\/a> set the trend of wide foldable phones in the market with the new Pura X Max, Samsung followed with its broad creation \u2013 Galaxy Z Fold 8<\/a> and here is an ultimate showdown between the two folding innovations and their top-notch features.<\/p>\n

Pura X Max<\/a> showed up earlier this year with a dynamic form factor. The device is wider than the first Pura Fold model and brings several WOW points in terms of specifications, internal features, and software capabilities.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, Galaxy Z Fold 8 made its way to the launch stage this week, as a new competitor in the market ahead of Apple\u2019s<\/a> first and wide iPhone Ultra debut.<\/p>\n

Since we have two wide folding phones on the shelves<\/a> \u2013 Huawei Pura X Max and Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, it\u2019s time to see which of these handsets excels in the top three foldable specifications: Display, Camera System, and Battery!<\/p>\n

1. 2Ds \u2013 Design and Display<\/p>\n

Starting with the look \u2013 the Galaxy Z Fold 8 looks more like a hand notebook with a slimmer and lighter body. It weighs 201 grams and is 4.8mm slim. On the other hand, Pura X Max, with an outward folding mechanism, weighs 229 grams and is 5.2mm thick.<\/p>\n

The South Korean firm has used a 7.6-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2x screen for its wide folding phone with 3000-nit peak brightness and a 5.5-inch cover screen.<\/p>\n

But when it comes to Pura X Max, the fold has a 7.7-inch LTPO OLED panel for the inner side with 3000-nit brightness and a 5.4-inch cover screen with 3500-nit peak brightness. Galaxy Z Fold 8 tops in design but the display crown goes to Pura model.<\/p>\n

2. Camera Setup<\/p>\n

Galaxy Z Fold 8 Wide continues to adopt a dual rear camera bump on the back packed in a wide pill-shaped frame. The lenses are a 50MP main shooter and a 50MP ultrawide snapper.<\/p>\n

Pura X Max sports a triple XMAGE imaging setup with a 50MP variable aperture main camera, a 50MP periscope telephoto zoom lens, and a 12.5MP ultrawide-angle shooter.<\/p>\n

3. Battery Life<\/p>\n

Samsung is still struggling with its foldable battery. The Galaxy Z Fold 8 has a 4800mAh cell pack with 45W wired charging and 20W wireless charging. On the flip side, the Pura X Max uses a 5300mAh cell with 66W wired and 50W wireless charging.<\/p>\n

Inputs further reveal that the Pura X Max foldable can charge in half the time used by its newly launched competitor \u2013 the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 Wide.<\/p>\n

Bonus \u2013 Pricing<\/p>\n

Huawei has also maintained a fantastic pricing strategy with the Pura X Max. Its starting rate is $1625 and stops at $2070, whereas the Galaxy Z Fold 8 begins at $1799, with the highest price reaching $2159. The winner is clearly Huawei in this comparison.<\/p>\n
