According to the latest information from the highly reliable leakers Digital Chat Station and Fixed Focus Digital, Huawei is planning to launch a brand-new smartphone series called “Starlight” very soon. The first smartphone in this series is reportedly set to be marketed as the Starlight O1 Pro and is likely to bear a strong resemblance to the Huawei Pura X View.
The smartphone is said to feature a 6.39-inch screen with a particularly wide aspect ratio – the Pura X View uses just such a display with a 5:3 aspect ratio. As a result, the smartphone measures 144 x 87 millimeters, making it 6 millimeters shorter but 15 millimeters wider than the Apple iPhone 18 Pro ($1,439 on Amazon). The Huawei Starlight O1 Pro is likely to be positioned as a flagship smartphone, as the device will reportedly be offered with 12 GB to 16 GB of RAM and 512 GB to 1 TB of flash storage, while a flagship ARM chip from the HiSilicon Kirin 9 series is expected to power it.
The Starlight O1 Pro reportedly uses a new camera module design, so it is unlikely to be merely a rebranded Pura X View. The launch is expected as early as November, but no further details about its specifications are available yet. For comparison: The Huawei Pura X View uses a 6,500-nit, 120 Hz AMOLED panel, a 7,000 mAh battery with 50-watt wireless charging, and a triple-camera system comprising a 200 MP main camera, an 8 MP ultra-wide-angle camera, and a 50 MP periscope telephoto camera with 3.7x optical zoom.
Since 2009 I have written for different publications with a focus on consumer electronics. I joined the Notebookcheck news team in 2018 and have combined my many years of experience with laptops and smartphones with my lifelong passion for technology to create informative content for our readers about new developments in this sphere. In addition, my design background as an art director at an ad agency has allowed me to have deeper insights into the peculiarities of this industry.
