Huawei Teases Mate X6 Ahead of Global Launch Event on December 12
Huawei’s Mate X6, a book-style foldable smartphone, was officially launched in China in November, marking the company’s latest step in the foldable phone market. The device features an impressive 7.93-inch inner OLED display and a 6.45-inch quad-curved OLED cover screen, both offering a smooth and vibrant viewing experience. For durability, the Collector’s Edition of the Mate X6 comes with second-generation basalt-tempered Kunlun glass, providing enhanced protection. The phone is also expected to come with Huawei’s latest in-house Kirin 9100 chipset, coupled with 5,110mAh battery that supports 66W wired and 50W wireless fast charging.
Huawei has now confirmed the global launch date for the Mate X6, which will be revealed at an exclusive event in Dubai on December 12. While the company has not explicitly stated which products will be unveiled, the use of the hashtag #UnfoldtheClassic strongly suggests that the Mate X6 will be the focus of the event. This global launch will introduce the foldable device to markets outside of China, expanding its reach and potentially increasing its appeal to global consumers.
In terms of specifications, the Huawei Mate X6 boasts a 7.93-inch primary OLED screen with a resolution of 2,440×2,240 pixels and a 6.45-inch cover display with a resolution of 1,080×2,440 pixels. Both displays feature a 120Hz refresh rate and 1,440Hz high-frequency PWM dimming for better visual performance. For users concerned about durability, the phone’s Kunlun glass protection ensures added resistance to drops and scratches. As for the internals, the Mate X6 is expected to be powered by the Kirin 9100 chipset, with configurations offering up to 16GB of RAM and up to 1TB of internal storage. The device runs on HarmonyOS 4.3, providing an integrated ecosystem experience across Huawei devices.
This launch also signals Huawei’s continued push into the high-end smartphone market with foldable devices, following the success of earlier models like the Mate X2. The combination of cutting-edge design, premium specifications, and the potential for faster charging and long-lasting battery life could make the Huawei Mate X6 a significant competitor in the global foldable smartphone space. Whether it can rival other industry leaders in the segment will become clearer after its December 12 reveal.
