The device boasts a unique 6.3-inch display with a 16:10 aspect ratio, deviating from typical foldable designs. It also features Xiaoyi, an AI assistant leveraging Huawei’s and DeepSeek’s AI models. The Pura X starts at 7,499 Chinese yuan (approximately $1,000).
US sanctions, restricting Huawei’s access to American technology, have driven this shift. Despite these challenges, Huawei leads the Chinese smartphone market and holds a significant global market share.
