- More than 280,000 Pura X View units sold in the first five days, giving Huawei the top weekly sales volume for any wide-screen phone across brands.
- The device’s appeal centers on a wide non-folding design that avoids a hinge and crease while fitting a 7,000mAh battery into a 6.68mm body.
- At 6,999 yuan, the 12GB/512GB version led demand, while the 5,999 yuan 256GB model and 8,499 yuan 1TB variant also sold well.
- That launch momentum pushed Huawei’s smartphone market share in China to a fresh record high and reinforced demand for wider-display hardware.
- Huawei is now reportedly preparing another wide-screen handset for the first half of 2027, potentially under the camera-focused Pura 100 lineup.
