Huawei Mate X6 Review: a courageous fold

Huawei does things big: the USB-C cable and a comfortable case with integrated standard, the SIM pin and of course the smartphone. The coverage is certainly one plus Not a bit, given that it turned out to be really comfortable during our trial period.

Il Mate X6 It is just one of the best built folding on the market. Open is often only 4.6 mm, closed 9.9 mm. The weight (239 g) is well distributed and the sensation in hand is premiumThanks to the aviation aluminum body and the back in vegan leather (the red color is probably more beautiful than the black tested).

The zipper is liquid, stable and remains firm for each angle, except for the first opening degrees where he tends to close (this guarantees that the smartphone is always closed). It takes a minimum of power to open it. However, it is the extreme subtlety that really surprises more (it is only defeated by Oppo Find N5, not sold in our market).

The smartphone then remains perfectly flat as soon as it is open.

Under the hood we find the Kirin 9020 Octa Core 2.5 GHz and Maeloon 920 graphic processor, flanked by 12 GB LPDDR5X RAM and 512 GB of Storage UFS 4.0. Nothing is missing, except … 5g. Oh yes, still absent, as well as the Esim. If the first defect is due to the aforementioned exile And for someone it can be negligible, we do not explain the absence of Esim (but here we explain how to remedy). Kirin is good for daily use and also for gaming, but does not achieve the performance of the top of Qualcomm or Apple. If you don’t think about making long game sessions, you will probably not notice any difference. And in any case, versions are still solid and there are no delays, not even with heavy multitasking. The stereo -audio offered by the two speakers placed on the opposite short side is good.

The Huawei photographic sector did not save itself: triple rear ridge with head 50 megapixel sensor with variable opening (ƒ/1.4 – 3 4.0), Zoom Periscopico 4x da 48 megapixel and 40 megapixel ultra -wide with focus capacity for macro.

There are also two 8 megapixel front cameras (one for each display), but I advise you to use the most important also for selfies thanks to the possibility of exploiting the external display as a “seeker”.

Excellent photos, both day and night, with convincing portraits and a 10x zoom still usable. It is perhaps the best photographic kit in a folding display. Also the videos in 4k A 60 Fps They are well stabilized and show a limit in difficult lighting conditions.

We have two panels here OLED LTPO 120 HZ With the possibility of gradually varying the refresh rate, not only for fluidity, but also for energy saving: the external one of 6.45 “(2500 peak clearance nit) and the internal one of 7.93” (1800 peak clearness nit). Both clear, well calibrated, with HDR and PWM -Dimming Support at 1440 Hz. The fold still feels, but forget after a few minutes, unless they are your obsession.

The internal format is four -kanter, excellent for work and reading, less for videos where black bands will probably appear.

Huawei Mate X6 is delivered Emui 15 (In China there is clearly Harmonyos, or the Huawei operating system) based on Android. It is one of the most flowing and well -preserved interfaces that are seen on a foldable smartphone. The user experience is modern, clean and well adapted to the large internal display: the Multitasking -functions They are among the best in circulation, with supported windows next to floating windows and a really comfortable and intuitive management of apps. With the specific Multitask mode you can almost keep the apps in an internal screen, although it can quickly switch to the others with a touch on the edge.

However, The absence of Google Services (GMS) is the most important compromise. Via tools such as Aurora store O Gbox You can install YouTube, cards and even play shops with Google Login, but the limits continue to exist: Google Pay doesn’t workAs well as the cast on devices such as Chromecast and you cannot use the smartphone to fix the log in with Google on other devices.

The tools that we have mentioned, however, together with AppGallery and Betal Search, you still enable you to remedy a large part of the most common needs, especially in the generic installation of app.

Immediately 5110 mAh battery Huawei surprised. With the smartphone you can overcome all day of use without any problems without problems with a single charge, which also comes close to the two days with more modest use. It is not a battery telephone, but in the product category and considering subtlety it defends itself very well.

Then we wired the reloading at 66W, Wireless A 50W And also inverse wirelessly. Optimal.

Huawei Mate X6 costa € 1,999But there are various active promos such as those with Watch GT 4 as a gift or on Amazon Where we are currently finding it for € 1,699. However, it remains a very high price, in accordance with other competitors who, however, have often fallen slightly more in their final price in the months.
