Huawei has released many foldable smartphones in recent years, but in 2025, Pura X became one of the most successful among them. Last year, shipments of this model exceeded 1.1 million units, making it the best-selling folding smartphone in the Chinese market. Recently, one of the insiders revealed which Huawei foldable smartphone will become the best-selling in 2025, and it is the Pura X model. Despite the fact that the company is already working on the next generation of large-format folding devices, the previous version continues to attract the attention of buyers.
According to an insider, Huawei’s 7 years of experience in creating folding screens indicate an extremely accurate understanding of the market. Another insider explained why the Pura X in the new form factor has gained such popularity amid active competition between manufacturers for the title of the thinnest folding smartphone. The insider under the nickname WangzaiKnowsEverything named 3 key reasons why, after the appearance of Pura X, more and more brands, including Apple and Samsung, began to pay attention to the format of large-format foldable devices.
First of all, many foldable smartphones use a 1:1 square aspect ratio, which results in thick bezels around the display. This makes watching videos and playing games less comfortable for users. In contrast, widescreen models like the Pura X with a 16:10 display in the unfolded state do not require third-party applications to adapt content that may otherwise be displayed with distortions.
The second reason is the larger usable screen space compared to conventional folding models. According to the insider, such devices can even compete with the iPad, combining the capabilities of a smartphone and a tablet in one body. The third and, according to the source, the most important factor of popularity was the price.
Despite its premium features, Huawei Pura X is somewhat cheaper than many other similar models on the market. As a result, it was the combination of these 3 factors that made Huawei Pura X very popular among buyers. At the same time, this device has one significant drawback: it is currently available only in the Chinese market.
