Third-party reviews

Based on ratings from across the web.
Reviews last updated: August 2026 · How we calculate this

What we like about Huawei Mate X6 (12GB + 512GB)

  • Ultra-slim and lightweight design (roughly 9.9mm folded, 4.6mm unfolded)
  • Superior multitasking features like intuitive split-screen and floating windows
  • Excellent camera system with high-quality night and macro photography
  • Durable build with 2nd Gen Kunlun Glass and IPX8 water resistance
  • Solid battery life and fast charging capabilities (66W wired, 50W wireless)
  • Impressive display quality with peak brightness up to 2500 nits

What we don't like about Huawei Mate X6 (12GB + 512GB)

  • Lack of native Google Mobile Services (GMS) requires cumbersome workarounds
  • High premium price tag compared to several flagship competitors
  • Performance lags behind the latest Snapdragon and Apple chipsets
  • Lack of 5G support in global markets
  • Limited availability and support in Western markets
  • Inconsistent app compatibility for certain banking and NFC payment services

Verdict

The Huawei Mate X6 (12GB + 512GB) is an ultra-slim, IPX8 water-resistant foldable smartphone featuring a 7.93-inch foldable LTPO OLED inner display and a 6.45-inch LTPO OLED cover screen, both with a 120Hz adaptive refresh rate. It is powered by the Kirin 9020/9100 chipset and a 5110 mAh battery with 66W wired and 50W wireless charging support. A major pro is its durable build with Kunlun Glass 2nd Generation and excellent multi-tasking capabilities on EMUI 15 or HarmonyOS. The main con is the absence of Google Mobile Services (GMS) in global versions and a lack of 5G connectivity in some models, which limits some app functionality and network speeds.
