Description
The HUAWEI Pura X Max is a wide-format foldable phone launched in China in April 2026, with a 7.7-inch inner screen and a 5.4-inch cover screen. It uses the Kirin 9030 Pro chip, a 50MP variable-aperture main camera, 50MP 3.5x periscope telephoto and 12.5MP ultra-wide, and a 5300mAh battery with 66W wired / 50W wireless charging and IP58/IP59 protection. This China model runs HarmonyOS 7 (per the current official spec page), which is not Android and has no Google services.
China version – please read before buying
- Operating system: HarmonyOS (China). This is not Android – Google Play and Android apps cannot be installed, so apps such as WhatsApp, Google Maps, Gmail, YouTube and UK banking apps are generally not available. Apps come from Huawei AppGallery (China) only.
- Contactless payments: Google Pay / Google Wallet tap-to-pay is not available or not guaranteed on China-version phones.
- UK networks: Huawei does not publish the band list for this China model. Unofficial listings show UK 4G bands 1, 3, 7, 8, 20 (800MHz) and 28 (700MHz) and 5G bands n1, n3, n8, n28 and n78 (no n7 or n20); this is not guaranteed. VoLTE and Wi-Fi calling depend on your network supporting imported phones.
- Charger: Any charger in the box is a China-market charger and will usually need a UK plug adapter.
