According to a report by IT Home, Coolpad may be about to launch the Coolpad 阔直板, potentially the first Android smartphone in the wide straight-screen form factor known as “阔直板” (wide straight screen), a design popularized by Huawei with the Pura X View. The information comes from a leak on an official brand account on Xiaohongshu.
Details of the Coolpad 阔直板 leak
The Coolpad 阔直板 would feature a roughly 6.3-inch wider screen (near 16:10 or similar), with a noticeably larger chin, suggesting possible use of an LCD panel. The indicated price would be around 999 yuan, positioning the Coolpad 阔直板 as an affordable option in this new form factor.
Huawei launched the Pura X View in September 2026 with a 6.39-inch OLED screen in a 16:9.5 ratio, Kirin 9030S processor and a starting price of 5999 yuan. The category’s initial success has led other Chinese brands to evaluate the format, with OPPO and Honor often mentioned as next in line, but the Coolpad 阔直板 leak suggests it may arrive first in the Android segment.
Context and caveats about the Coolpad 阔直板
This is a leak/report based on a brand account post, not a full official announcement. Details on processor, battery, cameras and exact date of the Coolpad 阔直板 have not yet been confirmed. The “阔直板” form factor aims to offer a wider viewing area without the complexity and cost of a foldable, making it especially interesting for video consumption, reading and multitasking.
If confirmed, Coolpad’s entry-level pricing move with the Coolpad 阔直板 could broaden access to this design in the Android market. We will continue to follow official confirmations.
