Huawei may have found an audience for a phone that borrows some of the practical appeal of a small tablet without using a folding display. The Pura X View, built around a wider-than-conventional 6.39-inch screen, reportedly reached about 282,000 activations during its first five days on sale in China.
The figures, reported by leaker Digital Chat Station and relayed by Android Headlines, are not official Huawei sales results. Still, they suggest that Huawei’s wide-screen experiment has gained more early traction than a one-off niche device might normally receive. The source also says the Pura X View ranked first among individual phone models sold in China during week 37.
A phone shaped for landscape tasks
The Pura X View uses a 16:9.5 OLED panel rather than the tall, narrow displays common across flagship phones. That shape could make more room for video, photos, documents, and split-screen interfaces without requiring users to unfold a device. Huawei has kept the chassis to 6.68 mm thick and 201 grams, while fitting in a 7,000 mAh battery.
Its core hardware also places it firmly in premium-phone territory: a Kirin 9030S chipset and 200-megapixel main camera accompany the wide display. Rather than treating a larger horizontal workspace as something available only after opening a foldable, Huawei is testing whether a shorter, wider slab can be useful from the moment it comes out of a pocket.
Buyers reportedly favored the middle configuration
- Reported first-five-day activations: about 282,000
- Reported average transaction price: around 7,000 yuan
- Starting price: 5,999 yuan
- Reported most sought-after version: 12GB of RAM with 512GB of storage, listed at 6,999 yuan
- Top storage option: 1TB, priced at 8,499 yuan
An average effective price near 7,000 yuan would be notable because it points toward demand beyond the entry configuration. The reported preference for the 12GB/512GB model indicates that early buyers may be choosing the Pura X View for its fuller hardware package rather than simply for the lowest-cost way into the form factor. U.S. availability and pricing have not been confirmed.
Another wide-screen flagship is rumored
The reported start could also influence Huawei’s next design decisions. Digital Chat Station claims Huawei is developing another wide-screen photography flagship for the first half of 2027. No product name has been announced, though speculation places it in the future Pura 100 family.
Huawei has already explored the concept through the foldable Pura X, Pura X Max, and now the non-folding Pura X View. One early activation estimate cannot establish that wide phones will displace conventional designs, but it does give Huawei a reason to keep pursuing a format aimed at people who want more usable horizontal space without the bulk and mechanical complexity of a hinge.
