Huawei Mate X6 review

28 December 2024


Sort by:

Huawei announced its Mate X6 foldable smartphone in global markets outside China on Thursday during its "Unfold the Classic" product launch event in Dubai. The latest book-style foldable smartphone is a successor to last year's China-exclusive Huawei Mate X5. The Huawei Mate X6 has a 7.93-inch main display and a 6.45-inch outer display. It has an IPX8 rating for water resistance and carries three outward-facing cameras. The brand has packed a 5,110mAh battery inside the phone with 66W wired⁠ fast charging and 50W wireless charging capabilities.⁠

    The chip performs surprisingly well, all things considered. Looking forward to what they'll release next.

      Guys... Iphone isn't in the list.

        Funny how this got a 4.1 rating even though there's more cons on the list.

        Also, the Kirin 9020 isn't even at the already-bad Tensor G4 levels. Yeah, I know Huawei has been banned and this is good progress, but this is literally 2500 SGD. It can't be that high.

        Just get an Honor Magic V3 instead, it's far cheaper and is just better.

          Hanif Fikri, 29 Dec 2024I heard the latest harmonyos are still using Android coding... moreBuyers in China have a choice of the phone running either HarmonyOS (Android) or HarmonyOS Next (Not Android).

          Everyone else just EMUI (Android).

            Still no proper app support, still not HD or HDR streaming, still using a midrange chipset, mediocre battery life, not sure if nfc payment works or not, way too overpriced...so easy NO

              Hanif Fikri, 29 Dec 2024I heard the latest harmonyos are still using Android coding... moreUntil Harmony OS NEXT, all versions have android core.
              Difference between Harmony OS 4 and EMUI 14 and previous ones, is some minor differences, like some changes in the names of the features.

                Hanif Fikri, 29 Dec 2024I heard the latest harmonyos are still using Android coding... moreHarmony os in Europe has still some android. Harmony next is the clean harmony version you heard about. That's why Chinese Huawei phones perform better and last longer.

                  Anonymous, 29 Dec 2024Can you traumatize people by saying opinion in this site?As long as this site is free of charge and accessible for all people around the globe, I doubt it though. I understand what you feel, it looks like riots and full of demonstran who demanding high spec devices but price ignorant. It is better for you to get rid of this 'chatting room' and focus on other aspects provided by this GSMArena official site. There are still nice articles available to go through. Anyway your opinion in this room may benefit others, to strengthen people confidence to choose the right smartphone for them.

                    This phone shouldn't have got more than a 4.0 score, considering the poor battery life, half baked OS, and poor performance.

                      I heard the latest harmonyos are still using Android codings and some other says it's full homemade OS...which one is right..

                        ShaneKR, 29 Dec 2024So Is this phone harmony os or emui because in the huawei&#... moreHuawei phones released in China run HarmonyOS and phones released in other places run EMUI. Still don't know why they did that because neither EMUI or HarmonyOS have Google services. Both are compatible with Android apps.

                        HarmonyOS Next is the new Huawei proprietary operating system that is not compatible with Android apps.

                          There are highlighted things that out of my sight in my earlier comment for this model. The things are the support for the screen layer made of Carbon Fiber that is famous in Formula 1 car technology which is capable to prolong the screen after numeruos flip-unflip activities along with the most recent Silicon Carbon battery technology since it has been forced to achieve the fastest possible charging time.

                              An interesting and bold step that Huawei took on the processor. They introduced Kirin as the core for its device instead of common chipsets in the market. GSMArena has conducted a test to it and it seems it passed the test already as GSMArena didn't raise on it any negative wording. I am seeking it become a great rival over Mediatek or even Snapdragon in the future and provide budget friendly chipset alternative. As for chipset developed by Samsung, I believe Exynos won't allow its chipset will be easily relegated. For me, the intriguing matter about processor is it rarely comes with equal clock speed on all cores where it absolutely can increase the performance stability.

                                Anonymous, 29 Dec 2024Google only care about profit margins. Pixels since Pixel 1... moreYeah, remember electrostatic build up below the screen in pixels?

                                    ShaneKR, 29 Dec 2024But emui is android and harmonyos is not right?No, EMUI is absolutely different thing from HarmonyOS. HarmonyOS is Chinese self-developed OS and EMUI is an Android skin just like OneUI, OxygenOS, HyperOS and etc. Because, HarmonyOS uses HongMeng Kernel, not Linux kernel.
