The foldable iPhone<\/a> has begun entering production stages with the wide-folding flagship expected to launch later this year, either alongside the iPhone 18<\/a> Pro or slightly after. As the phone is somewhat inspired by the design of the Huawei Pura X, it only makes sense for the Chinese manufacturer to work on a new Pura phone similar to Apple\u2019s foldable in return.Two new Pura models
According to a report<\/a> (translated source), Huawei isn\u2019t just making a Pura X2 (tentative name) but also a new foldable that will be more like the upcoming foldable iPhone. The Pura X is a much wider foldable but its design clearly indicates that it is supposed to be unfolded vertically to be used upright.
\nMeanwhile, the foldable iPhone \u2014 according to leaked designs and reports \u2014 is designed to unfold horizontally, taking on the shape of an iPad. Huawei is planning on releasing two Pura phones: a successor to the original Pura X and a foldable that is designed to be unfolded like Apple\u2019s foldable. If I had to guess, the biggest difference will just be about where the front camera is placed.The report unfortunately makes no mention of what, if any, hardware upgrades can be expected for the Huawei Pura X2. However, it does reveal that the new Pura model will be available in bright new colors like orange and purple, while the foldable iPhone is only expected in black and white for its release.<\/p>\n

Huawei isn\u2019t the first to mimic Apple<\/p>\n

The originality of the foldable iPhone\u2019s design can be debated, but Apple\u2019s foray into the foldable segment has definitely sent other manufacturers into a frenzy. Samsung, for example, is working on a Galaxy Z Wide Fold, which will launch alongside the Galaxy Z Fold 8<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Huawei, as explained above, is employing a similar strategy with its two new Pura phones. Samsung and Huawei want to be ahead of the curve in case Apple\u2019s unorthodox take on foldable flagships catches on.The foldable market is evolving rapidly
Only a handful of years ago, foldable phones<\/a> still didn\u2019t feel like a great deal for the price, especially with durability concerns and the very visible display creases. Now, with phones like the Galaxy Z Fold 7<\/a>, the Honor Magic V6, and the Oppo Find N6, we\u2019re almost spoiled for choice.<\/p>\n

And we\u2019re going to be spoiled even further when we also start seeing wide-folding phones start hitting store shelves. That\u2019s before we even consider the fact that Samsung might be using its fantastic new crease-free foldable display<\/a> on the Fold 8 and the Wide Fold.<\/p>\n
