Doha, Qatar: Despite being hailed as the next big thing in smartphones, foldable devices have yet to fully capture the mainstream audience, even after more than half a decade on the market. While the premium price tag is often cited as a major deterrent, it doesn’t entirely explain the full picture. The real issue lies in the lack of refinement. Many foldables still come with significant compromises, from added heft and shorter battery life to underwhelming cameras. But Huawei seems determined to change that narrative with the Mate X6.
This new foldable is a clear departure from the status quo—nothing about it feels like a compromise. With sleek design, powerful specs, and a focus on performance, the Mate X6 proves that foldable can finally rival, or even surpass, traditional flagship smartphones.
The Mate X6’s exterior screen is protected by 2nd Gen Kunlun Glass, with a re-engineered glass network structure. This glass is now 25 times more durable against drops. The interior display is reinforced with a carbon fibre plate, boosting stiffness by 65%. Paired with an aviation-grade aluminium middle frame, this phone shrugs off daily wear and tear with ease. The frame itself is crafted from aerospace-grade aluminium, offering a 37% increase in material strength for exceptional resistance to compression and bending.
At its core lies an advanced multi-dimensional hinge, which is a feat of precision engineering. It reduces the hinge’s folding thickness by 12% and the unfolded thickness by 14%, delivering a slimmer profile without sacrificing strength. Made from 100% Rocket Steel, the hinge boasts a 27% increase in strength, ensuring it can endure countless folds.
A big folding screen leaves ample space for your tasks allowing you to get more done in less time. But the Mate X6 takes it up a notch with live multitasking. It allows you to run up to 3 apps simultaneously with the screen unfolded in the expanded view.
The Huawei Mate X6 is a remarkable step forward for foldable smartphones. With its ultra-durable construction, stunning displays, powerful camera system, and advanced multitasking capabilities, it sets a new standard for what a foldable phone can be.
