Huawei and Honor develop wide-screen smartphones

Reports indicate that major smartphone manufacturers are exploring wide-format displays. Huawei is reportedly developing a new wide-aspect ratio direct-screen smartphone under its high-end Pura X series. This device is expected to feature a 16:10 aspect ratio to provide a tablet-like experience, though increased component costs may result in a starting price exceeding 7,000 RMB.

Simultaneously, Honor is reportedly working on two wide-screen devices. Leaks suggest these models may feature 6.3-inch screens. The move into wide-format devices represents growing competition in a niche market segment that prioritizes media consumption, reading, and multitasking over the standard narrow smartphone form factor.
