The Mate X6 is Huawei’s book-style foldable, released internationally in December 2024.

Why buy the Huawei Mate X6
- A real tablet-sized workspace. The 7.93″ inner screen has room for two apps side by side, so you can read an email while checking a contract or a supplier’s price list.
- A camera that adjusts its aperture. The 50MP main camera can open wide to f/1.4 in dim restaurants, or narrow down to f/4.0 to keep more of a group photo sharp. A 4x periscope lens handles distant subjects.
- Fast charging, wired or wireless. 66W by cable and 50W on a wireless pad are both quick for a foldable, and reverse wireless charging can top up earbuds or a watch.
- Thin when open. At 4.6mm unfolded, it feels close to a slim tablet, and at 9.9mm folded it still fits a shirt pocket.
- Water protection rare on foldables. The IPX8 rating covers fresh water up to 2m for 30 minutes, so a downpour is not a worry.
