Huawei’s next wide-screen foldable, the Huawei Pura X2, may be getting a camera makeover that looks a little too familiar. According to Huawei Central, citing Fix Focus Digital, the Pura X2 could switch to a horizontal rear camera strip with a larger, more prominent module than the previous model – a move that echoes Apple’s iPhone Air, only with more sensors packed in.
The reported layout would place the lenses slightly higher than the center of the device, giving the back panel a cleaner visual break and a bigger camera bump at the same time. That’s not exactly a fresh idea in the smartphone world, but it is a very Huawei way to do ”inspired by” – start with a familiar silhouette, then stuff it with hardware.
Four-camera setup for the Huawei Pura X2
Earlier details suggest the Huawei Pura X2 will carry four camera sensors: a 50-megapixel main camera, a 40-megapixel ultrawide module, an 8-megapixel telephoto sensor, and a next-generation multispectral color sensor. That kind of setup would put it well ahead of the minimalism Apple sells with the iPhone Air, and it also fits Huawei’s habit of using camera hardware as the main selling point for its premium phones.

Huawei Pura X2 launch timing
The second Pura foldable is expected to arrive next month alongside the flagship model in the Pura 90 series. If that timing holds, Huawei will be trying to do two things at once: refresh its foldable line and keep pace with a market where camera design is becoming as much about branding as optics.
The bigger question is whether this is a genuine design evolution or just a louder camera hump with a more polished story around it. Given how closely phone makers now watch Apple’s industrial design moves, the answer may matter less to Huawei than the reaction it gets on launch day.
