The Huawei Mate X6 256GB is Huawei Test's 2024 smartphone featuring a 7.93 inches, 202.1 cm2 (~91.5% screen-to-body ratio) display, the Kirin 9020 (7 nm) chipset. It comes with a 5200 mAh battery. Available in the UAE from AED 5,299.
The Huawei Mate X6 excels with its 50MP f/1.4-f/4.0 main camera featuring OIS and PDAF, delivering exceptional low-light detail, and its 48MP periscope telephoto with 4x optical zoom captures crisp long-range shots. The 7.93-inch 120Hz LTPO OLED display hits 1800 nits peak brightness, ideal for outdoor use, while 66W wired charging refills the battery from 0 to 70% in 25 minutes. It’s built for professionals who need premium camera versatility and a foldable screen for multitasking on the move. Its weakness? Kirin 9020’s lack of Google Mobile Services limits app access outside China, crippling productivity for global users. In UAE at AED 5299, it’s overpriced compared to Samsung Z Fold 5’s broader app ecosystem and better support. In India at ₹N/A, it’s not officially sold, and even if imported, the absence of Google services and 5G SA/NSA only in China makes it a non-starter for Indian buyers seeking reliable connectivity and app compatibility.
