Huawei’s wide foldable gets a rumored ‘first sale’ date—Pura X Max could hit shelves April 24
Separate HuaweiCentral reporting today claims a likely first-sale timeline for Huawei’s Pura X Max wide-format foldable, citing a Weibo tipster and pointing to April 24 as the expected first sale date. Treat this as a leak (not official), but it’s still useful: it suggests Huawei may move quickly from reveal to retail, which is a big factor in foldables where hype can evaporate if availability lags. The piece also frames the device as a top-end foldable with a large inner display and OLED cover display, and it emphasizes Huawei teasing new AI features as part of the pitch. The competitive subtext is clear: wide “passport-style” foldables are becoming the next battleground, and Huawei wants to be seen as early and confident—especially with Apple foldable rumors looming later in the year. If the sale date holds, it also gives observers a firm benchmark for price, variants, and real-world reviews landing soon after.
