HUAWEI's announcement

A Pura fold coming soon?

The event is set to highlight the launch of at least one new smartphone, as well as provide more insights into HarmonyOS Next. This will be the brand's first fully independent operating system, built without reliance on Android and powered by an in-house kernel.

Moreover, the event is expected to showcase the launch of the Pocket 3—a flip-style foldable smartphone. Rumors suggest it will feature a 6.28-inch foldable display with a distinctive 3:2 aspect ratio, offering a compact yet versatile design.

Some have likened the device to an iPad mini, but has the capability to fold, and given the event’s Pura theme, it could potentially join the Pura series lineup.

Huawei has also teased a new device in a promotional video, hinting at a rollable screen that expands horizontally. The teaser includes the number "1610," possibly indicating a 16:10 aspect ratio when the screen is fully extended.

Beyond smartphones, HUAWEI's Celia assistant is rumored to integrate DeepSeek capabilities, enhancing its functionality. The event may also unveil new wireless earbuds and a fresh addition to the Aito electric vehicle lineup.
