TL;DR<\/p>\n
HUAWEI has officially revealed the Pura X Max, a wide foldable phone that ditches the tall design seen on current devices.
\nThe Pura X Max is expected to feature a 7.69-inch inner display and a 5.5-inch outer screen, closely matching the dimensions of the so-called Galaxy Z Fold 8 Wide.
\nBy launching first, HUAWEI has beaten Samsung and Apple to defining the next new foldable form factor.<\/p>\n
We\u2019ve gotten very used to tall and narrow foldable phone<\/a> designs over the past few years, but 2026 is shaping up to be the year that flips that script. With Apple and Samsung both expected to embrace wider foldable designs<\/a>, the industry is clearly heading in a new direction. But before either one of them could make their move, another competitor has already shown its hand.<\/p>\n Don\u2019t want to miss the best from Android Authority?<\/p>\n HUAWEI has just given us our first official look<\/a> at the Pura X Max. The device is the industry\u2019s first modern take on a horizontally wide foldable phone. More accurately, it\u2019s a return to a form factor we briefly saw with the original Google Pixel Fold<\/a> that paired a 5.8-inch outer display with a 7.6-inch inner screen.<\/p>\n HUAWEI\u2019s official images show a short and wide Pura X Max with a triple rear camera system and a foldable design that appears to have a minimal visible display crease. The phone is also shown in three colorways, including white, an iPhone-like orange, and purple.<\/p>\n The device looks like a small tablet when opened and appears to be more natural to use for landscape-oriented tasks like watching videos, multitasking, or gaming.<\/p>\n HUAWEI is opening up pre-orders for the Pura X Max in China today, though there\u2019s no word on pricing or global availability yet.<\/p>\n Specs for the phone also remain a mystery for now, with leaks only pointing to a 7.69-inch internal display with WQHD+ resolution and a 5.5-inch cover screen.<\/p>\n Interestingly, those figures line up almost perfectly with what\u2019s rumored for Samsung\u2019s upcoming wide foldable. Leaks suggest the so-called Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 Wide<\/a> could feature a 7.6-inch inner display and a 5.4-inch cover screen, making it almost identical in size to the Pura X Max.<\/p>\n![\"google](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/1768233971_656_google_preferred_source_badge_light@2x.png\"\/ "\\"google"){kind=icon}
