TL;DR

HUAWEI has launched the Pura X View, a non-foldable glass-slab phone featuring a wide 16:9.5 aspect ratio for its singular 6.39-inch OLED display.

The phone also has a 6.68mm-thin profile and weighs just 201g despite a 7,000mAh battery.

This launch aligns with foldable market trends and previous wide-screen HUAWEI releases such as the Pura X and Pura X Max.

Once upon a time, Android phones came in all sorts of shapes and sizes. Over the years, we eventually settled on some common ideals for a smartphone, with a tall 19.5:9 or 20:9 display becoming one of those defining features. Foldables gave the market a chance to experiment, but we settled back on tall book-style and flip-style clamshell foldables. In anticipation of Apple’s iPhone Ultra release, Samsung released the wider-screen Galaxy Z Fold 8 , and its reception has prompted more Android brands to jump onto the wide-screen foldable bandwagon . But what if you don’t want a foldable but still want a wide-screen phone? HUAWEI is answering your prayers with the Pura X View, a new wide-screen glass slab smartphone.
