Third-party reviews

What we like about Huawei Mate X7 (16GB + 1TB)

  • Best-in-class camera system featuring a variable aperture and a large 1/1.28-inch sensor for excellent low-light and detail performance
  • Industry-leading durability with an IP58/IP59 rating for water and dust resistance, along with ultra-durable Kunlun Glass
  • Exceptional battery life from a 5,600mAh cell that outperforms many top competitors in the foldable category
  • High-quality displays including a bright 8.0-inch inner OLED (2,500 nits) and a 6.49-inch outer screen (3,000 nits) with minimal crease visibility
  • Fast charging capabilities (66W wired, 50W wireless) that can fully charge the device in approximately 40 minutes
  • Premium build quality and aesthetic, often praised for its 'Time-Space Gate' camera design and vegan leather back options

What we don't like about Huawei Mate X7 (16GB + 1TB)

  • Underpowered Kirin 9030 Pro processor (6nm) that significantly lags behind competitors' 3nm chips in synthetic benchmarks
  • Lack of native Google Mobile Services (GMS), requiring users to rely on workarounds like MicroG or GBox
  • High price point, often exceeding $2,400 (roughly €2,099), making it more expensive than several high-end foldable rivals
  • Outdated software base for the international EMUI 15 version, which is built on Android 12
  • Limited or inconsistent 5G connectivity support in certain global regions due to trade restrictions
  • Software limitations such as poor app scaling and restricted multitasking (e.g., lack of horizontal split-screen) for some third-party apps

Verdict

The Huawei Mate X7 is a high-end foldable smartphone known for its durable and slim design, powerful camera system, and large battery. It runs on the Kirin 9030 Pro chipset with up to 16GB of RAM and the specified 1TB of storage, offering smooth performance on its 8-inch inner LTPO OLED display (120Hz, 2500 nits peak brightness) and 6.49-inch cover screen (120Hz, 3000 nits peak brightness). Key pros include an exceptional triple-camera setup (50MP main with variable aperture, 50MP periscope telephoto with 3.5x optical zoom, 40MP ultrawide), robust IP58/IP59 dust and water resistance, a large 5,600mAh battery with 66W wired and 50W wireless charging, and a virtually creaseless folding screen. A primary con is that, due to trade restrictions, the device runs on HarmonyOS 6.0/EMUI 15 without access to the full suite of Google Mobile Services, and the raw processing power may slightly lag behind top-tier Snapdragon chips in some highly demanding tasks.
