The Huawei Mate X6 stands out in Huawei’s renowned foldable lineup. Released in September 2023, it’s less than two years old and offers a uniquely versatile experience for those keen to explore the latest in foldable tech without the usual Big Tech baggage. Unfolded, it’s a tablet; folded, a regular smartphone, packing flagship-grade power in a striking form factor. This is a device for people who like to do things differently—without shouting about it.

Who is this for?
The Huawei Mate X6 is perfect for those looking to try something out of the ordinary—think tech enthusiasts, multitaskers, and anyone fixated on productivity with a dash of flair. Its foldable display makes it handy for juggling work, streaming, and reading, while still pocket-sized when closed. If you want more screen real estate than your average slab phone (looking at you, Galaxy S23) but don’t fancy lugging a tablet, this could be the wild card device you didn’t know you wanted. Note: Unlike most competitors, Google services aren’t included, so it’s best for users comfortable with app alternatives.
