Available in Nebula Gray, Nebula Red, and Black, the Mate X6 is remarkably slim, measuring 4.6mm when unfolded and 9.9mm when closed. It also features an IPX8 rating for water resistance.
For a quick overview of its specifications, the Mate X6 is equipped with a 7.93" LTPO OLED primary screen with a resolution of 2,440 x 2,240 pixels that can reach 1,800 nits brightness, and a 6.45" LTPO OLED cover display with FHD+ quality and 2,500 nits peak brightness, both protected by second-generation Kunlun Glass.
The rear camera setup consists of a 50MP main camera featuring an RYYB sensor with a variable aperture ranging from f/1.4 to f/4.0, a 48MP periscope telephoto lens with 4X optical zoom and a 5cm super macro mode, and a 40MP ultrawide lens with autofocus. Additionally, an Ultra Chroma Camera enables it to capture a broad spectrum of colors for more lifelike photos.
On the hardware front, due to geopolitical factors, there are complexities regarding the chipset, but reports indicate the inclusion of Huawei's in-house Kirin 9020, the same found in the Mate 70 series. It reportedly features a 12-core CPU configuration and a Maleoon 920 GPU operating at 840 MHz. However, Huawei has not yet verified these specifications.
The device runs on EMUI 15 and includes a silicon-carbon battery with a capacity of 5,110 mAh, supporting 66W wired charging, 50W wireless charging, and 7.5W reverse wireless charging.
The pricing for the single 12/512GB variant is set at €1,999, with initial deliveries expected to commence on January 6.
