HUAWEI has launched its latest foldable smartphone, the HUAWEI Mate X6 in the global markets along with Nova 13 series, following its debut in China last month. The device features a 7.93-inch foldable screen with a peak brightness of 1800 nits, complemented by an outer 6.45-inch display boasting a peak brightness of 2500 nits. Both screens utilize a 1-120Hz LTPO OLED panel with 1440Hz high-frequency PWM dimming.
The exterior display is protected by 2nd Generation Kunlun Glass, while a carbon fiber inner screen plate enhances the durability of the interior display. The Mate X6 is built with a multi-dimensional hinge and a durable aviation-grade aluminum middle frame. According to HUAWEI, the Kunlun Glass offers 25 times greater drop resistance.
In terms of optics, the phone is equipped with a 50MP variable aperture camera, allowing a ten-step adjustable physical aperture from f/1.0 to f/4.0. It also integrates Ultra Chroma technology, utilizing 1.50 million spectral channels to enhance colour accuracy by up to 120%.
The Mate X6 runs EMUI 15.0, based on a forked version of Android AOSP, rather than HarmonyOS used in the Chinese model. It is expected to feature HUAWEI's Kirin chipset, but the global variant does not include 5G support.
