Huawei Pura X Max Spotted Ahead of Launch – Massive Design Shift Exposed
Days before Huawei’s April 20 launch event, live images of the Pura X Max have surfaced online — and the wide-folding phone looks every bit as ambitious in person as it did on paper.
A design that makes a statement
The leaked shots show the Pura X Max in glossy white, and the back panel is where things get interesting. Rather than a conventional camera island, Huawei has divided the rear into three distinct zones — a bold camera section at the top, flanked below by two panels: one with vertical lines, one with horizontal. It’s a geometric approach that gives the device a visual identity you won’t mistake for anything else.
The camera housing itself is a large pill-shaped module carrying three lens rings — an upgrade over the first-generation model. The center ring holds two lenses, with LED flashes positioned on either side. Notably, the entire camera section takes up roughly a third of the back panel, making it the clear focal point of the design.
HUAWEI branding sits on the vertical-line panel, while a small XMAGE logo is embedded just beneath the camera pill — subtle, but present. The frame appears to be metal throughout.
Pocket-sized power, tablet-sized screen
Folded, the Pura X Max fits comfortably in one hand. Open it up, and you’re looking at something closer to a mini tablet — with a clean, clutter-free home screen on both the main display and the cover panel. No visual noise, just usable space.
What we know so far
The Pura X Max is already listed for pre-sale on Huawei’s VMall with five color options and four RAM and storage configurations. The full reveal is just days away on April 20.
Based on these first real-world photos, Huawei appears to have built something that holds up outside of a studio shoot. We’ll know everything else very soon.
