Yesterday was a very interesting day, especially due to the launch of the Huawei Pura X, a foldable device that adopts a 16:10 format, something we hadn’t seen in any other device until now. Honestly, I don’t understand why this idea wasn’t created a long time ago.
It’s no surprise that the legendary Chinese manufacturer isn’t afraid to experiment, and we can say that the firm has established itself in the flexible screen mobile segment, at least in terms of innovation. This is an undeniable fact.
Now, due to certain inconveniences, the company doesn’t talk much about the processors used in its terminals, but we already know which component gives life to this curious foldable.
Huawei Pura X with self-developed chipset
After the company unveiled its new offering, it made some units available to the press, revealing details about the mysterious processor. In this case, it’s the Kirin 9020, a SoC developed by HiSilicon, Huawei’s chipset division.
For those who don’t know, this component debuted in November 2024, when it debuted in the Huawei Mate 70 series.
If we go to the technical side, this is an eight-core chip, distributed as follows: one Taishan Big core at 2.5 GHz, three Taishan Mid at 2.15 GHz and four Cortex-A510 at 1.53 GHz. As we can see, its specifications are below the most powerful processors from Qualcomm and MediaTek, but it will still manage to offer very good results on the brand’s own devices.
We believe this innovative Huawei Pura X will be trouble-free in everyday use, especially since the operating system is very well optimized for it. Otherwise, we remain eager to see whether this offering will make it beyond China’s borders. If so, it will likely become a serious rival to Samsung and Honor, which are currently emerging as the international market leaders.
