In particular, it is said to feature a 6.39-inch screen with 2160Hz PWM dimming and 2232 x 1320 resolution with ultra-thin 1.05mm bezels, 96.1% screen‑to‑body ratio, and 6,500 nits of peak brightness.

Super slim for a 7,000mAh phone

Inside, tipsters claim that it may be powered by the Kirin 9030s chip. It comes in 12GB RAM, up to 1TB storage, and a massive 7,000mAh battery despite being slim and light at 6.68mm and 201 grams, respectively.

The back design features a pill-shaped camera island housing the triple 50MP rear camera setup. It runs on HarmonyOS 7 skin on top and will also arrive in four colorways.

Who is this for?

Might be great for reading, consuming content

The HUAWEI Pura X View is likely aimed at tech‑savvy smartphone users who want something different from the usual tall, slim devices. Its wide 16:9.5 aspect ratio may also make it ideal for people who consume a lot of video content, multitask, or prefer a more "tablet‑like" viewing experience without going for a foldable.

The rest of the specs are still unknown for now, but pre-reservations are now live in China.

The remaining details will be revealed on August 28.
