The Xuanwu waterdrop hinge, with its embedded sliding track structure, reduces the arc arm rotation angle, resulting in a reduction in both folded and unfolded thickness. The core components of the hinge use ultra-strong rocket steel, significantly improving strength and ensuring long-lasting durability. The outer screen of the Huawei MateX6 Collector's Edition uses second-generation Xuanwu Kunlun Glass and incorporates nanoprocessing technology, increasing the scratch and wear resistance of the outer screen by 16 times.

For the inner screen, the MateX6 employs a composite laminated structure design. The support layer uses innovative carbon fiber material, significantly enhancing its anti-deformation capabilities and ensuring the reliability of the inner screen.

As a leading lightweight and versatile foldable phone, the Huawei MateX6 weighs only 239 grams, with a folded thickness of just 9.85 mm and an unfolded thickness of 4.6 mm. The rounded four-curved edges are smooth and elegant, providing a comfortable grip. The Huawei MateX6 reinterprets the aesthetics of foldable phones and redefines the benchmark for thin and large foldable screens.

Communication Benchmark: Seamless Connectivity Across Networks

In terms of reliability, the Huawei MateX6 Collector's Edition achieves a breakthrough in satellite communication, supporting both Tian Tong satellite communication and Beidou satellite messaging. The Beidou satellite messaging function has also been upgraded; it can now send image messages, making "a picture worth a thousand words" in critical moments. The Tian Tong satellite communication function's satellite search speed has been significantly improved, with connection achieved in as little as 9 seconds, entering the single-digit connection era. Additionally, it supports satellite paging, reminding users of missed messages; GNSS and satellite coexistence allow for simultaneous map navigation during calls, providing real-time location updates.

The MateX6 also incorporates Star Flash technology, supporting precise offline location finding with an accuracy of 2 meters and a search range of 100 meters. In terms of ground communication, thanks to the new layout design and innovative materials of the distributed Xuanwu architecture, the MateX6 upgrades the second-generation Lingxi communication technology, increasing antenna length by 81%, download speed by 30%, and overall signal strength by 60%.
