Third‑party non‑folding tempered glass makes converting Huawei (华为) Pura X inner display far easier

Quick change, big appeal

IT之家 reports that a third‑party seller has begun offering a non‑folding tempered glass specifically for the inner display of Huawei (华为) Pura X. The Pura X’s unusual 16:10 internal panel has drawn users who prefer a wide, flat screen over a folded one. Want to turn a foldable into a straight slab? Until now you needed bespoke glass and a lot of fiddly work. The new tempered glass, combined with the “no‑fold” cases that surfaced last November, lets users fix the hinge open and protect the inner panel with off‑the‑shelf parts — drastically lowering the bar for extreme mods.

Risks remain — so think twice

This is not a harmless cosmetic tweak. IT之家 notes that the Pura X’s inner screen is relatively fragile and replacement costs are high; it has been reported that damage can be expensive to repair. Once converted, the phone’s outer display is effectively unusable. So yes, you can turn the Pura X into a wide flat phone, but should you? For most users the answer is no — the mod sacrifices redundancy and warranty protections for a different ergonomics and look.

Context: product and policy backdrop

The accessory move comes as Huawei continues to experiment with form factors. It has been reported that the company will announce the Pura X Max — billed as an industry‑first horizontal wide foldable — on April 20 alongside the Pura 90 series, while a wide‑screen straight model remains a rumor. All this unfolds against a backdrop of prolonged US restrictions on Huawei’s access to advanced chips and components, which observers say has nudged the firm toward more diverse hardware experiments and a robust third‑party accessory ecosystem.
