• Display: ~6.39-inch panel with a 16:10 aspect ratio and 2K-class resolution
• Chipset: Kirin 9-series processor, with some leaks specifically mentioning a Kirin 9000 series chip
• Battery: 7,000 mAh capacity — significantly larger than most current flagships
• Main Camera: 50MP sensor with a 1/1.3-inch optical format
• Periscope Telephoto: 50MP module, likely offering 3x optical zoom
• Additional Camera: A multispectral lens (details on an ultrawide sensor have not yet leaked)
• Design: Despite the large battery, the phone is reportedly thin and lightweight

Relationship to the Pura X

This device is widely described by multiple tipsters as a non-folding counterpart inspired by the Pura X, Huawei's wide-format foldable clamshell that debuted in March 2025 . The new phone is said to share the same 16:10 screen approach but without the hinge mechanism — essentially bringing the Pura X's unique aspect ratio to a traditional slab form factor .

Notably, several tipsters suggest the device could be positioned within the Pura X series itself, rather than being a separate product line . Some sources explicitly refer to it as a "non-foldable version of the Pura X" . It is not the Pura X2, which is a separate foldable sequel expected in Q2 2026 .

Launch Timeline: Accelerated to September 2026

The rumored launch window has shifted significantly in recent months:

• Earlier leaks (June 2026) pointed to a late 2026 or December launch .
• More recent reports (mid-August 2026) indicate Huawei has pulled the launch forward to September 2026 .
• The device was initially expected after the Mate 90 series, but may now launch alongside or close to it .

Huawei's September "Double Event" Plans

According to leaks, Huawei is planning two separate launch events in September 2026 :

The Mate XT 2 is tipped to be a triple-fold device with a 10.2-inch display and a Kirin 9050 Pro chipset . The Mate 90 series is expected to debut with a next-generation Kirin chip using "logic folding" technology, with a "Huawei Device Haco Launch Event" already approved by Chinese regulators for September 23 at the Shenzhen World Exhibition & Convention Center .

It remains unclear whether the wide-screen non-foldable phone will launch at the Mate 90 event or separately. Early leaks suggested it would arrive after the Mate 90 , but the accelerated September timeline blurs this distinction. Some tipsters have noted the device's codename is "KZB" .

Competitive Positioning

The dual September strategy is widely seen as a direct challenge to Apple's iPhone 18 Pro series, which is expected to launch around the same time . By staging two major events, Huawei aims to counter Apple's annual September flagship cycle with premium hardware across both foldable and non-foldable lines . The wide-screen non-foldable also positions the company against Honor's Magic 9 series, though specific competitive claims remain speculative .

Oppo's Similar Device: A Later Contender

Oppo is also reportedly developing a wide-screen non-foldable smartphone — sometimes referred to by the rumored name "Find W" — that would feature a similar 16:10 aspect ratio, a 6.3- to 6.4-inch 1.5K LTPO display with ultra-thin symmetrical bezels, and a Dimensity 9600 processor . However, it is not expected until the first half of 2027, likely trailing Huawei by roughly 6–9 months .

Some reports treat Oppo's device with skepticism. Tech Advisor has explicitly warned against trusting the Find W rumors, noting the lack of reliable sourcing and suggesting some leaked specs and teaser images may have been created for entertainment rather than as genuine leaks .

Key Caveats

• None of this is official. Every detail comes from Weibo tipsters (Digital Chat Station, SmartPikachu, SuperDimensional, FixedFocus) and aggregator reports.
• Launch dates keep shifting. Earlier reports said December 2026; the September timeline is the latest rumor but may not hold.
• The device's name and product series are unknown. It could debut under the Pura X umbrella or as a new product line .
• Oppo's wide-screen plans are even less certain, with some outlets advising caution on the Find W rumors .
