As the name suggests, the Mate X6 succeeds the Mate X5 from 2023. It is a book-type foldable phone whose display folds horizontally.
Whereas the previously released Mate XT Ultimate is a first-of-its-kind trifold smartphone.
The Mate X6 brings a few upgrades over the Mate X5. These changes not only make it better than its predecessor but also a strong competitor to foldables from other brands.
Let’s go through the key highlights of the Huawei Mate X6 in this post.
The Huawei Mate X6 measures only 4.6mm when unfolded. This makes it one of the thinnest book-style foldable smartphones on the market.
Even when folded, the device’s thickness is just 9.9mm. Also, it weighs about 239, which is light for a foldable.
The back panel of the phone comes in two finishes: leather and nylon fiber. These materials make it less prone to break when dropped.
Furthermore, the device is IPX8-rated (water resistant) and uses self-developed second-generation Kunlun Glass protection for the external display.
2. Revamped camera system
Huawei has included an upgraded camera setup with the Mate X6. All three rear sensors use RYYB pixel arrangement.
The primary camera continues to be a 50MP sensor with OIS. But this sensor now supports 10-point variable aperture (f/1.4 to f/4.0).
While the ultrawide unit is upgraded to 40MP from 13MP. Similarly, the zoom camera is now a 48MP 4x telephoto macro shooter instead of a 13MP 5x periscope telephoto snapper.
Anyways, the front cameras for both external and internal screens use the same 8MP sensor.
3. New chip
The Huawei Mate X6 allegedly houses a new chip from HiSilicon. This SoC is called Kirin 9020.
Most chipsets on the market use an octa-core CPU. However, this new chip from Huawei utilizes a dodeca-core CPU (12 cores).
The said CPU reportedly consists of 2 x 2.5GHz cores, 6 x 2.15GHz cores, and 4 x 1.6GHz cores. It is accompanied by a 4CU GPU clocked at 850MHz.
The performance of HiSilicon Kirin 9020 is close to that of Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2.
4. Other improvements
The Huawei Mate X6 has a slightly higher resolution internal display than its predecessor. Its panel offers a resolution of 2440 x 2440 pixels as opposed to the 2496 x 2224 pixels screen on the older model.
Further, the device houses a tad bit larger 5,110mAh battery compared to a 5,060mAh battery inside the previous model. However, both of them support the same 66W wired and 50W wireless charging standards.
Additionally, the Collector’s Edition of Mate X6 offers support for not only Beidou satellite communications but also Tiantong as well.
