Huawei Pura X disassembled in new teardown video

Huawei launched the Pura X in March, presenting another innovative form factor after the impressive Mate XT. The Huawei Pura X is a foldable, flip-style device with a display that opens to a 16:10 aspect ratio. This makes it look more like a small tablet than a phone.

The teardown video of the Huawei Pura X is in Chinese, but the auto-translated subtitles do a very good job. The video offers a detailed disassembly and analysis of the Huawei Pura X and highlights its internal structure, component selection and technical processing. It shows how Huawei uses premium materials and manufacturing processes to create a stylish and powerful foldable smartphone.
