The latest Flip phone on the market might be the strangest one we’ve seen yet
  • HUAWEI has launched the Pura X foldable phone in China.
  • This device differs from other Flip foldables by offering a squat 16:10 display.
  • The phone starts at $1,037 in China, but there’s no word on a global release.

HUAWEI has been teasing the arrival of a smartphone with a 16:10 screen in recent days, and the company has finally peeled the curtain back on the Pura X. But this might be the strangest commercial foldable phone we’ve seen in quite some time.

The HUAWEI Pura X is a Flip foldable, offering a pocket-friendly clamshell form factor when folded. Unfurl the device, however, and you’ll indeed find a 6.3-inch 16:10 folding screen (2,120 x 1,320) that’s more in line with tablets than a smartphone. By contrast, the Galaxy Z Flip 6 has a 22:9 aspect ratio.
