Check out Huawei’s extra-wide flip phone.

The Pura X arrived this week, and I’m ready to test this unique flip phone form factor, which opens to the side for a wider main display. And yes, those are Android apps on the post-Android HarmonyOS Next.

What do you want to know ahead of my hands-on?

<em>The Pura X looks like a flip phone turned on its side.</em>
<em>It runs HarmonyOS Next, which is now distinct from Android.</em>
<em>...But you can still get (some) Android apps if you know how.</em>
<em>Best bit so far is this excellent color scheme.</em>
