Huawei has unveiled its second foldable phone of the year, following the Mate XT which was launched at the end of summer. This time, the brand has opted for a traditional book-style foldable design with the Mate X6, which takes the place of the Mate X5 that debuted over a year ago.
Specifications Comparison
In terms of slimness and weight, the Magic V3 still holds the title of the thinnest and lightest foldable smartphone. Nevertheless, the Mate X6 outshines competitors like the Galaxy Z Fold6, OnePlus Open, and Pixel 9 Pro Fold (currently priced at $1,499 on Amazon) with its thickness of 4.6 mm when opened, 9.85~9.9 mm when folded, and a weight of 239 g. Additionally, Huawei has integrated a 5,110 mAh battery that allows for 50 W wireless and 66 W wired charging.
Display Features
Huawei has also equipped the Mate X6 with a 6.45-inch LTPO AMOLED cover display, which features a 1080p resolution along with a refresh rate ranging from 1-120 Hz. It boasts an impressive peak brightness of 2,500 nits. In contrast, the internal display of the Mate X6 measures 7.93 inches while maintaining the same refresh rate, though it offers a native resolution of 2,440 x 2,240 pixels and has a lower peak brightness of 1,800 nits.
Camera Capabilities
On the camera front, Huawei has incorporated a 50 MP main camera with an f/1.4-f/4.0 aperture, mirroring the setup of the Mate 70 series. The Mate X6 also features a 48 MP telephoto camera, a 40 MP ultra-wide-angle camera, and 8 MP front cameras on both displays. Like the Mate 70 series, there is no information available yet on international release. For context, the starting price of the Mate X6 in China is CNY 12,999 (approximately $1,793), which includes 12 GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage, while the model with 16 GB of RAM and 1 TB of storage costs CNY 15,999 (around $2,207).
