Video of Huawei's new foldable is a preview of iPhone Fold

The iPhone Fold (or is it the iPhone Ultra?) won't be arriving until at least September, but early leaks of Apple's foldable show a wider design than typical foldable phones.

The global smartphone market is already adapting to offer similar designs, and Samsung is rumored to be releasing a Galaxy Z Fold 8 Wide model in July to compete with the foldable iPhone. However, Chinese smartphone brand Huawei has beaten them both to the punch with the April 20 launch of the Huawei Pura X Max, which officially ushered in the era of the wide foldable.

Now, YouTuber Vincent Zhong has posted an unboxing video showing an up-close look at the new Huawei foldable. The video is titled "HUAWEI Pura X Max hands on: the foldable iPhone will look just like this!"

The iPhone Fold is rumored to have a roughly 7.8-inch internal, foldable OLED display and a 5.5-inch outer OLED display, making it noticeably wider than most foldable phones. The Huawei Pura X Max has a 7.7-inch internal display and a 5.4-inch external display, as well as the rounded edges seen in alleged iPhone Fold leaks.

As a result, the smartphone in Zhong's video should closely resemble the first-ever Apple foldable, if the leaks prove true.

"It can't really be called 'thin and light,' after all, it is a relatively large-screen foldable," Zhong says in the video, according to YouTube's translation of the video transcript.

"But the in-hand feel is excellent. You can see here, my thumb can reach from the second app on the left all the way to the top. Its width is designed so that when the large screen is opened, it's similar to — it can be similar to an iPad mini, forming a small vertical tablet."
