Huawei Pura X View, a Wide Smartphone Featuring a 16:9.5 Aspect Ratio Display and Kirin 9030S Chipset, Emerges

The detailed specifications and usage environment of the wide smartphone 'Pura X View' produced by Huawei have been revealed. This product is characterized by adopting a wide display with a 16:9.5 aspect ratio, reminiscent of LG Electronics' former Vu series.

Wide 16:9.5 Aspect Ratio Screen and HarmonyOS 7 Software Environment

According to a video released on the YouTube channel UNDERkg, the Pura X View features a 16:9.5 aspect ratio display. It supports a 128Hz refresh rate, 1% APT, and a peak brightness of 6,500 nits, providing a spacious screen through 1.05mm thin bezels. The software is equipped with Huawei's proprietary OS, HarmonyOS 7, and the video confirms support for various languages, including Korean.

Regarding software utilization, the video mentions that Android apps run well, suggesting it could be used for daily purposes in Korea. In particular, an environment where Google service logins are possible was confirmed, and it includes split-screen functions and gesture functions utilizing the wide aspect ratio of the screen. Additionally, it was introduced that a fingerprint recognition sensor is built into the side power button, allowing for gestures such as zooming in/out by swiping the fingerprint recognition sensor.

Kirin 9030S Chipset Performance and Hardware Configuration

The chipset determining the core performance of the product is Huawei's own chipset, Kirin 9030S. According to the video description and transcription, the performance of this chipset was described as being at a disastrous level. It was mentioned that not only the CPU performance but also the GPU performance is low, making it impossible to compare with Snapdragon in a similar price range, and it is even inferior to the much cheaper Snapdragon 7s Gen 4. However, it was added that due to optimization, the perceived performance is not quite to that extent.

As for hardware specifications, there are 12GB RAM and storage options of 256GB, 512GB, and 1TB, and Micro SD expansion is not supported. A 7,000mAh battery is equipped, and it supports 66W fast charging (USB-C type). The device weight was measured at approximately 206g including the protective film, and it features IP68 and IP69 rated water and dust resistance.

Camera Functions and Various Shooting Modes

The camera configuration consists of a 200MP wide-angle (f/1.8), an 8MP ultra-wide (f/2.2), and a 50MP telephoto (f/2.6, 3.7x optical zoom). The video shows the colorful configuration of the camera interface and various shooting modes. It includes functions such as AI composition guidance, pose suggestions, Stage mode, HD panorama, Night mode, and a software-based virtual aperture function.

The video introduced a function to adjust the exposure and focus of photos through swipe gestures using the fingerprint recognition sensor, and it was shown that 4K 60fps recording is possible when shooting video. However, 8K recording is not supported.

Product Price and Market Position

The price of the Pura X View is 5,999 yuan based on the China domestic market, forming a price range of over approximately 1.2 million won in Korean currency. In the video, an opinion was presented that, excluding the unique screen aspect ratio, it would be difficult to choose a product with this level of chipset performance at this price. Additionally, it was mentioned that since it is equipped with the China domestic OS, Hongmeng, there may be restrictions on using it normally in Korea.
