Huawei has officially launched the Mate X7 in China, continuing its push in the premium foldable smartphone segment. The new Mate X7 debuts alongside the Mate 80 series and brings significant hardware and design improvements.
Huawei Mate X7 Specifications
The Mate X7 sports a dual-display design featuring an 8-inch foldable OLED screen (2416 × 2210 pixels) and a 6.49-inch curved OLED outer screen (2444 × 1080 pixels). Both displays support 1-120Hz LTPO adaptive refresh rates and 1440Hz high-frequency PWM dimming for reduced eye strain.
The outer screen hits a peak brightness of 3000 nits, while the inner display reaches 2500 nits. The Collector’s Edition equips second-generation Xuanwu-tempered Kunlun Glass for enhanced durability, while both panels deliver P3 color gamut and 10.7 billion color support.
The device runs on Huawei’s Kirin 9030 Pro processor, enabling advanced AI features, enhanced performance, and seamless integration with HarmonyOS 6. The OS brings new smart multitasking tools, AI-assisted note-taking, encrypted sharing, and dynamic window management optimized for foldable screens.
The Mate X7 introduces the second-generation Red Maple Imaging system with a 50MP main camera featuring a ten-stop variable aperture (f/1.49 to f/4.0), a 40MP ultra-wide sensor, and a 50MP periscope telephoto macro camera with 3.5x optical zoom and up to 100x digital zoom. It supports 4K HDR video, RAW shooting, and XMAGE imaging tools. For selfies, both the inner and outer screens house 8MP cameras capable of 4K video recording.
Huawei includes a 5525mAh battery in the standard Mate X7 and a 5600mAh battery in the Collector’s Edition. Both models support 66W wired fast charging, 50W wireless charging, and reverse wireless charging.
Huawei uses the Xuanwu folding architecture for the Mate X7, which adopts a tri-layer composite structure and a reinforced water-drop hinge made from high-strength rocket-grade steel. The phone weighs about 235 to 236 grams, measures 9.5mm when folded, and goes down to 4.5mm when unfolded.
It carries IP58 and IP59 protection ratings for water and dust resistance and supports satellite communication. The Collector’s Edition includes both Tiantong satellite calling and Beidou messaging, while the standard version supports Beidou messaging.
In terms of connectivity, the Mate X7 features Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6.0 with LDAC and L2HC codecs, USB-C 3.1 Gen1, and NFC. The Collector’s Edition supports stylus input and includes the M-Pen 3 in select configurations.
