Earlier this year, Huawei introduced a unique twist to the foldable market with the Huawei Pura X, a device that featured a distinct wide format compared to standard flip phones. While the industry is still catching up to that design, reports indicate the brand is already moving forward with a sequel. A new leak from tipster Smart Pikachu has surfaced on Weibo, shedding light on the launch timeline and potential processing power of the upcoming device. Here is a look at the first details about the Pura X2.
Huawei Pura X2 launch timeframe and chipset tipped
According to the information shared on Weibo, the tech giant is currently testing the new wide-screen vertical foldable. The tipster suggests that the phone is tentatively scheduled to arrive in the first quarter of 2026. This places the potential release window between January and March of next year.
Under the hood, the handset will likely run on the Kirin 9030 chipset. This specific processor recently made its debut with the Mate 80 Pro series in China, offering a performance bump over the previous generation.
Beyond the chip, the leak indicates the internal screen will be quite large. This suggests Huawei intends to keep the distinctive form factor that functions more like a small tablet than a traditional tall flip phone.
Huawei Pura X specifications
The original Huawei Pura X sports a 6.3-inch LTPO OLED main display with a unique 16:10 aspect ratio and a 3.5-inch external screen. Ideally, the new model will retain or improve upon the triple rear camera system, which includes a 50-megapixel main sensor, a 40-megapixel ultra-wide lens, and an 8-megapixel telephoto shooter with 3.5x optical zoom.
It is powered by a 4,720 mAh battery supporting 66W wired and 40W wireless charging. The original Pura X runs on the Kirin 9020, so the move to the 9030 represents a logical generational leap for the lineup.
