Ultimately, the Huawei Mate X6 is an excellent piece of hardware that’s greatly held back by its software, which like every Huawei smartphones after the US sanctions, it remains questionable on how committed Huawei is to the phone’s future software development, even if you don’t care about 5G, paying RM8,688 for this foldable just doesn’t make sense even for the filthy rich, the only reason that you probably want to get the Huawei Mate X6 is its cameras which you can’t get on other foldable phones.

Huawei Mate X6 Preview
Source: Phone Arena English
The Huawei Mate X6 is not just a great foldable phone but a great phone, full stop. However, there are some caveats to this statement. The phone comes with the prerequisite of living without (or sideloading) Google Mobile Services and also not paying attention to synthetic benchmarks (as the chipset inside lacks raw power). Getting this phone in the US is pretty hard, and you have to be really committed to be able to import one, and then there's the price. The base model retails in Europe for 1,999 euros pounds, and that's anything but cheap. But if you're able to live with all those things listed above, you're gonna get one of the thinnest, most stylish, and camera-capable foldables out there.

Looking back at today's folding screen market, we can see that among the folding flagships, Huawei Mate X series has always been the most reliable and attractive folding flagship for users to choose. After the development of domestic flagships in the past few years, it is not difficult to realize that the victory of the parameters is certainly important, but the user always buys the experience - Huawei Mate X6 is precisely a product under this “experience first” idea.

Comment

Qualcomm Maleoon 920: Graphics chip for smartphones and tablets, integrated in the HiSilicon Kirin 9020. Unfortunately, Huawei does not provide any detailed information. What is certain is that it does not support hardware-based ray tracing and only the older Vulkan 1.0 standard.

Modern games should be playable with these graphics cards at low settings and resolutions. Casual gamers may be happy with these cards.

» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Graphics Cards and the corresponding Benchmark List.


Kirin 9020: ARM-based SoC with 12 cores (2x HiSilicon Main up to 2.50 GHz, 6x HiSilicon Mid up to 2.15 GHz, 4xHiSilicon up to 1.6 GHz).» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.


7.93":

This display format is in the mid-range for smartphones. It offers a compromise between good visibility, details and resolution on the screen, and you can still fit it into trouser pockets.

» To find out how fine a display is, see our DPI List.

In 2014, Huawei established the Honor subsidiary brand under which certain smartphone lines are sold. The Huawei name is usually not listed for these products.


76.55%: This rating is not earth-shattering. This rating must actually be seen as average, since there are about as many devices with worse ratings as better ones. A purchase recommendation can only be seen with a lot of goodwill, unless it is about websites that generally rate strictly.
