Research data shows that the Chinese foldable screen market grew by 30.8% year-on-year in 2024, with Huawei holding the top spot with a 51.29% market share; in 2025, Huawei's market share in foldable screens is projected to exceed 70%. This is not accidental; it's the inevitable result of Huawei's groundbreaking leadership in the foldable screen field. This leadership isn't just a slogan; it's demonstrably reflected in product capabilities.

The Huawei MateX6, an "unbelievably powerful" all-around foldable flagship, perfectly embodies Huawei's leading edge in foldable technology. Its slim and lightweight design is stunning: weighing only 239 grams and boasting a thickness of just 4.6mm when unfolded, with smoothly curved edges for a comfortable grip, it redefines the combination of lightness, thinness, and comprehensive functionality.

However, this lightweight design doesn't come at the expense of reliability. The Huawei MateX6's groundbreaking Distributed Xuanwu Architecture is the cornerstone of its reliability. This architecture integrates numerous innovative technologies and materials, achieving significant improvements in the durability and reliability of the foldable phone. Firstly, the Xuanwu waterdrop hinge ensures smooth and durable operation even after numerous folds. Secondly, the innovative carbon fiber inner screen support layer significantly enhances the screen's resistance to deformation, effectively preventing creases or damage. Simultaneously, the ultra-strong aircraft-grade aluminum middle frame provides robust external protection. Inside and out, Huawei MateX6's relentless pursuit of reliability is evident in every detail.

On the outer screen, the Huawei MateX6 uses second-generation Xuanwu tempered Kunlun glass, increasing the scratch and wear resistance of the outer screen by 16 times, effectively extending the phone's lifespan. The inner screen employs a composite layered structure design, also using innovative carbon fiber as a support layer, further enhancing resistance to deformation and providing comprehensive protection against accidental damage during daily use.

To ensure stable performance even under heavy loads, the Huawei MateX6 incorporates a distributed heat dissipation solution. This solution cleverly positions the main chip and radio frequency amplifier chipthe main heat sourceson the main and sub-frames respectively, effectively separating heat sources and reducing local temperatures. Furthermore, a cross-axis graphene film, 3DVC vapor chambers on the top and bottom covers, and a graphene film integrated into the back cover create a three-dimensional heat dissipation structure, ensuring continuous and stable operation.

For a long time, imaging capabilities have been a weakness in foldable phones. However, the Huawei MateX6, with its new Red Maple True-Color Imaging System, completely changes this. Its rear quad-camera setup boasts powerful imaging capabilities:

• A 48MP periscope telephoto macro camera with 4x optical zoom and 5cm super macro capabilities, capturing minute details of the microcosm.

• A 40MP ultra-wide-angle lens, capturing wider scenes and more contextual information.

• A 50MP super-variable aperture camera with a ten-stop physical variable aperture (F1.4-F4.0), dynamically adjusting the aperture size for different shooting scenarios, achieving ultra-clear photography across all focal lengths and at all times.

• A 1.5MP multi-spectral channel Red Maple True-Color camera, a highlight of the Huawei MateX6 imaging system. It accurately identifies global color information, improving color reproduction accuracy by 120%, truly achieving "what you see is what you get."

The Red Maple True-Color Imaging System supports full-focal-length high-definition imaging, from 0.5x ultra-wide-angle to 4x telephoto, all with ultra-clear imaging results. Its powerful 5cm telephoto macro capability, through intelligent multi-frame fusion technology, extends depth of field while maintaining subject clarity, revealing more detail. The super-variable aperture main camera's ten-stop physical variable aperture (F1.4-F4.0), along with the high-pixel periscope telephoto macro and ultra-wide-angle lenses, achieves ultra-clear photography across all focal lengths and at all times.

It's also noteworthy that all three main cameras of the Huawei MateX6 utilize RYYB super-sensitive sensors. Compared to traditional RGB filter arrays, RYYB sensors significantly improve sensor light utilization efficiency and increase light intake, achieving accurate color reproduction even in low-light conditions, resulting in clearer and brighter photos.

The Huawei MateX6's all-around experience isn't just about imaging; it's also about its powerful communication capabilities. In terms of terrestrial communication, thanks to the Distributed Xuanwu Architecture providing greater space and better layout, the Huawei MateX6 upgrades to second-generation Lingxi Communication Technology, innovatively distributing Wi-Fi and cellular antennas on both sides of the phone. This design significantly improves signal perception from folded to unfolded states, increasing download speeds by 30% and overall signal strength by 60% compared to its predecessor.

The Huawei MateX6 also features distributed radio frequency units, enabling intelligent switching between dual radio frequency units, maintaining stable network connectivity even in weak signal environments like high-speed trains, garages, and tunnels. Furthermore, with the addition of Star Flash technology, it supports precise offline location tracking with accuracy up to 2 meters and a range of up to 100 meters.

Even without terrestrial networks, the Huawei MateX6's dual-satellite communication capability ensures users are always connected. It supports both Beidou satellite messaging and Tian Tong satellite communication.
