HUAWEI has launched its latest foldable smartphone, the Mate X6, internationally alongside the Nova 13 Pro smartphone and Freebuds Pro 4 earbuds. The Mate X6 builds on its predecessor with significant improvements in durability, display, and camera technology, aiming to stand out in the competitive foldable market.
The Mate X6 features a durable design with second-gen Kunlun glass, offering twice the drop resistance and improved scratch resistance. A carbon fiber inner screen plate enhances stiffness by 65% without increasing weight. It also includes a liquid-steel hinge, 27% stronger than before, and an aviation-grade aluminum frame, 17% sturdier. The device is IPX8 certified for water resistance up to 2 meters.
The phone boasts dual OLED displays: a 6.45-inch LTPO cover display with 120Hz adaptive refresh rate and a peak brightness of 2500 nits, and a 7.93-inch foldable inner display with 1800 nits peak brightness. Both panels feature 1440Hz PWM dimming for low-light eye protection.
The Mate X6’s camera system includes a 50MP primary sensor with a variable aperture (f/1.4-f/4.0), a 40MP ultrawide lens, and a 48MP telephoto lens capable of macro shots. A new Ultra Chroma sensor enhances color accuracy by 120%, delivering natural-looking photos. The device is powered by a 5,100mAh battery with 66W wired and 50W wireless charging. It also supports stereoscopic multi-window multitasking for running three apps simultaneously.
