This is the Huawei Mate X6 and unlike its predecessor, it will sell outside of China. But is it any good?
Its hardware package is certainly impressive. The Mate X6 has a larger display than the Galaxy Z Fold6 but weighs the same at 239g.
The Mate X6 is also impressively thin when folded down at just 10mm (compared to 12.1mm for the Galaxy).
There’s a solid feel about the Mate X6. It folds with a neat clasp and opens with the mechanical assurance of a hinge. This nebula is also beautiful to see in grey.
Both displays are superb. The one inside is particularly large (slightly larger than the one on the Honor Magic V3) and perfect for running two apps side-by-side.
Huawei is tight-lipped about the chipset inside the Mate X6, but it’s a Kirin 9020 and we can say that the Mate X6 feels responsive and every bit flagship-fast, at least after initial setup.
Huawei pushes the envelope when it comes to cameras on foldables. Mate X6 has a 50 MP main cam with RYYB sensor and 4x optical zoom with f/1.4-f/4.0 variable aperture and 48 MP periscope telephoto with 5cm super macro mode. The third shooter is a 40 MP ultrawide with autofocus.
We’ll give you a review spoiler and say that the Mate X6’s photos are impressive – especially the 2x photos.
