Igeekphone News, May 28th: According to blogger “Smart Pikachu”, a 6.4-inch non-foldable screen model has been released in the Huawei Pura series.
Based on previous reports, this should be the large-screen ratio straight-panel device that Huawei is developing. It will lower the wide viewing angle of the folding-screen Pura X series to a straight-panel form.
With a 16:10 golden aspect ratio, it closely resembles the display effect of Pura X in its unfolded state. It features a four-level deep and extremely narrow bezel, and the horizontal display area is significantly larger than that of conventional 20:9 smartphones.
When playing videos in the mainstream aspect ratio, it can reduce the black borders on the screen, providing a more immersive audio-visual experience. Whether you are watching videos, looking up information or documents, it can enhance your operational efficiency.
For some games that are specifically designed for widescreen displays, a wider screen may also offer users a competitive advantage in terms of visual perspective.
This new model is specifically designed to offer a direct replacement for foldable devices with a large folding screen experience. It is targeted at users with limited budgets who desire a wide viewing angle and long battery life, avoiding the high prices and fragility associated with foldable screens.
Currently, the engineering model has entered the testing phase. The price is likely to be lower than that of the Pura X foldable screen model. It is expected to start at 5,000 yuan or less, and will become a new hit in the mobile phone market in the fourth quarter.
However, a wider body might reduce the convenience of one-handed operation. How to ensure a wide-screen experience while also balancing the grip feel and portability of the device requires Huawei to make certain trade-offs and optimizations.
