The Pura X Max comes in five colors: Interstellar Blue, Vivid Orange, Zero Degree White, Olive Gold, and Phantom Black. When folded, it measures 85mm wide, and when unfolded, it measures 166.5mm wide. The height is 120mm, and the thickness is 11.2mm when folded and 5.2mm when unfolded.

For comparison, Samsung's '

Galaxy Z Fold7 ' measures 158.4mm in height, 72.8mm in width, and 8.9mm in thickness. Google's ' Pixel 10 Pro Fold ' also has a 'foldable smartphone' style, but the Pura X Max is characterized by its shorter length and longer width, setting it apart from the others.

The Pura X Max has two screens: an 'internal screen' that is on the inside when folded and an 'external screen' that is on the outside. The external screen is used when the phone is folded, and the internal screen is used when the phone is unfolded. The internal screen is 7.7 inches, and the external screen is 5.4 inches. Both are OLED displays with a maximum refresh rate of 120Hz and a color reproduction capability of 1.07 billion colors.

While the Pura X was designed primarily for portrait mode, with features like the home screen not rotating in landscape mode, the Pura X Max is more user-friendly in both landscape and portrait orientations.

The OS is HarmonyOS 6.1, and there are four memory and storage combinations: 12GB+256GB, 12GB+512GB, 16GB+512GB, and 16GB+1TB. The processor is an 8-core 'Kirin 9030 Pro'. The rear camera system features three cameras: a 50MP ultra-wide zoom camera, a 12.5MP ultra-wide camera, and a 50MP periscope telephoto camera, supporting up to 100x digital zoom. There is also a function to display images on an external screen when taking photos.

The battery capacity is 5300mAh. It supports Huawei SuperCharge wired charging up to 66W and Huawei SuperCharge wireless charging up to 50W.

Furthermore, the company offers excellent support, including free screen protector application up to four times to both the inner and outer screens within two years of purchase. Prices start from 10,999 yuan (approximately 256,000 yen). Availability in Japan is currently unknown.
