Huawei Pura X Max might usher the era of wide foldable phones

Step aside, Apple and Samsung; it's China's Huawei that currently rules the unusually-wide-foldable-phones niche. On Monday, the company published a teaser video of its upcoming Huawei Pura X Max foldable phone. The Pura X Max will officially launch on Apr. 20 alongside the more conventional Pura 90 Pro, so we don't know all of the exact specs yet. Huawei, however, did say the foldable will come with a triple rear camera, with 12/16GB of RAM, and 256/512/1,024GB of storage. The video clearly shows the device from all sides, including some of its color options (the phone will be offered in five colors: Interstellar Blue, Olive Gold, Phantom Night Black, Vibrant Orange, and Zero Degree White). Huawei hasn't been very popular in the U.S. since it was restricted from using U.S. tech seven years ago, forcing the phone maker to give up on Android as an operating system. But what makes this particular phone interesting is the form factor; the Pura X Max has an unusually wide body when folded, expanding to a tablet-like device when unfolded. Samsung is rumored to be working on a similar device, and Apple's widely rumored iPhone Fold could look a little bit like that, though details are uno
