HUAWEI has launched its latest foldable smartphone, the HUAWEI Mate X6 during an event in China, as they promised. The device features a 7.93-inch foldable OLED display with a peak brightness of 1800 nits and a 6.45-inch external OLED screen with an impressive 2500 nits peak brightness. Both displays support 1-120Hz LTPO adaptive refresh rate and 1440Hz high-frequency PWM dimming for smoother visuals and reduced flicker.
The phone incorporates a distributed basalt architecture, enhancing signal strength, reliability, and heat dissipation. It debuts the Star Flash shutdown feature with precise positioning and is built with second-generation basalt-tempered Kunlun glass, a carbon fiber inner screen support layer, a robust wing aluminum body frame, a new basalt water-drop hinge, and ultra-high thermal conductivity graphene materials.
For photography, the Mate X6 boasts a 50MP main camera with a variable f/1.4-f/4.0 aperture, OIS, and RYYB sensor, accompanied by a 40MP ultra-wide-angle lens and a 48MP 4x periscope telephoto camera with OIS. It also features a 1.5MP red maple primary colour camera with 5cm telephoto macro capability. Both the internal and external displays house 8MP front-facing cameras.
In a groundbreaking move, the collector’s edition includes triple-network satellite communication, making it the first mass-market smartphone to support this feature, slated for public testing in late 2025. With an IPX8 rating for water resistance, the Mate X6 is powered by a 5110mAh battery in the standard model and a 5200mAh battery in the collector’s edition. Both variants support 66W wired and 50W wireless charging.
