Huawei is gearing up for the release of its next foldable phone, the Pura X2, expected to debut with a larger screen compared to its predecessor. According to recent leaks from Digital Chat Station, Huawei plans to increase the display size on their upcoming Pura series foldable model.
📌 Key Takeaways
- ✓Huawei Pura X2 to have a wider display
- ✓Expected release in Q2 of 2026
- ✓May include hardware upgrades and larger screen size
- ✓Competitive alternative to Samsung and Honor’s models
Larger Display Dimensions
The new device might feature an even wider screen panel, potentially making it the world’s first ‘wide-screened’ clamshell foldable phone. Sources reveal that a 7.6 to 7.7-inch display panel is currently being tested in early engineering stages by BOE. This would mean the Pura X2 could offer a larger body compared to its first-generation counterpart, which had a 6.3-inch main screen and a 3.5-inch cover screen.
Release Date Update
The release date of the Huawei Pura X2 has also seen some changes. Initially slated for March 2026, it may now be postponed to the second quarter of that year. The company previously launched its first Pura X model in March last year, so a similar timeline was anticipated this time around. However, Huawei’s work on a special ‘Premium Edition’ version might have influenced this delay.
Huawei could also release another foldable phone variant in January 2026, aiming for a clear price differentiation between the two models. While these leaks hint at significant hardware upgrades and a larger body, Digital Chat Station claims that the new vertical folding phone will stand out from its competitors as a quarter-generation ahead.
Competitive Edge
If confirmed, the Pura X2 could emerge as a serious alternative to Samsung and Honor’s foldable models. With anticipated improvements in display technology and likely hardware enhancements, users might find the Huawei option more appealing than ever before.
