Huawei is preparing to launch a new, non-folding smartphone featuring a wide-screen 16:10 aspect ratio, according to recent reports. Expected to debut as early as September, the device is rumored to house a massive 7,000mAh battery, a Kirin 9-series chipset, and a triple-camera system including a periscope telephoto lens.
Hardware Specifications and Battery Capacity
The upcoming Huawei handset, which industry observers note follows the design language of the Pura X series, is expected to stand out for its display and power capabilities. Internal components reportedly include a battery with a capacity of at least 7,000mAh, which would mark a significant increase in standard flagship battery performance for the company. Reports indicate the capacity could reach as high as 7,200mAh, potentially making it the largest battery in Huawei’s top-tier non-folding lineup to date.
For comparison, the Enjoy 90 Pro Max, which is rebranded as the Nova 15 Max globally, currently holds the title for the largest battery in the Huawei lineup at 8,500mAh. While a 7,200mAh cell pack was initially expected to appear in the Mate 90 phones scheduled for September, recent leaks suggest Huawei has shifted its strategy for this specific wide-screen handset.
Under the hood, the device is expected to utilize a Kirin 9-series chipset. Some sources point toward the Kirin 9030s, an octa-core processor built on a 5nm process that debuted in the Pura 90 Pro series in April of this year. This processor features a configuration of 1 x Taishan core at 3.0GHz, 3 x Taishan cores at 2.27GHz, and 4 x Taishan cores at 1.72GHz, paired with a Maleoon 935 GPU with 8 cores running at 3000MHz. The chipset also includes integrated AI and NPU capabilities designed to enhance real-time image understanding and AI color processing. However, other reporting suggests the specific chip configuration remains subject to change, with some speculation that it may use a standard Kirin 9 series processor rather than the latest LogicFolding-based mobile SoC.
Camera Array and Imaging Capabilities
The device’s camera setup is expected to prioritize high-end photography, matching the specifications found in other flagship models. The phone will include a 50MP main camera equipped with a 1/1.3″ type sensor. This is reportedly paired with a 50MP periscope telephoto camera and a multispectral camera, providing a comprehensive triple-rear configuration.
Launch Timeline and Pricing Estimates
While initial industry expectations placed the launch window between October and December 2026, recent information suggests the timeline has been pulled forward. Multiple sources now indicate a potential September launch. Pricing for the new model is speculated to fall between 6,000 and 7,000 yuan, placing it firmly in the flagship category. Regarding aesthetics, the handset is expected to launch in at least two standard color options: Black and White.
Charging support is also a focus of the latest leaks, with reports suggesting the phone will ship with a 65W super-fast power adapter, similar to the Pura X Max. Other projections hint that the hardware may support up to 66W wireless fast charging, with wired charging potentially reaching 100W, though these specifications have not been officially confirmed by the manufacturer.
Industry Context and Competitive Landscape
Huawei’s move toward a wide-screen, non-folding form factor appears to be part of a broader industry trend. Interestingly, Oppo is also working on its own version of this form factor, a phone with a 6.3
to 6.4screen and a 16:10 aspect ratio,
it was reported. While Huawei’s device is expected to arrive in the coming month, the Oppo alternative—which will feature a flagship chipset and a triple rear camera setup with a periscope telephoto—is currently rumored for a release in the first half of next year.
