Style, strengths and smarts in one device with the Huawei Mate X6
There was a time when foldable smartphones were considered too fragile, too bulky, or simply too niche to take seriously. But that time is over. The HUAWEI Mate X6 has arrived with a completely different story to tell. One that fuses high fashion with high function. It's a foldable that doesn't just keep up with your lifestyle; it complements it. And you can own it.
Whether you're moving between meetings, meetups, or midweek breaks, the HUAWEI Mate X6 adapts to your day with style and substance. Lightweight, resilient, and elegantly designed, this device proves you don't have to choose between sleek design and serious performance.
Design that feels as good as it looks
The Mate X6 is more than a piece of technology; it really is a statement. Everything about it has been crafted to feel timeless and premium, from its star-inspired Orbit Ring camera housing to its tactile finishes. The Nebula Grey edition features a shimmering Micro-Nano 3D Topography finish made from Vegan Fibre, derived from aerospace-grade glass fibre and bulletproof vest fibres.
It's durable, lightweight and silky-smooth to the touch. For those who prefer something classic, the Black and Nebula Red options feature ultra-thin soft leather that feels as luxurious as it looks.
Despite housing dual OLED displays, an advanced hinge, and a powerful camera system, the HUAWEI Mate X6 remains impressively slim. Folded, it's just 9.85mm thick, sliding easily into a clutch, suit pocket or shoulder bag. Unfolded, it becomes a 7.93-inch canvas that brings your content, creativity, and conversations to life.
Smart enough to handle your whole day
From voice notes and video calls to emails, socials, and shopping, our days are powered by our smartphones. That's why Huawei built the HUAWEI Mate X6 to do more and look good doing it. When unfolded, the generous screen gives you space to multitask like a pro. Run three apps at once, switch between them with a swipe, and expand one without losing your place in the others. It's the digital equivalent of having your wardrobe, diary, and best friend all in the same room.
Need to book a weekend getaway? You can chat with friends, browse hotels, and book flights on one screen. Planning a party? Create a mood board, check social trends and send invites, all without opening a laptop. With EMUI 15, everything is smooth, intuitive, and delightfully fun. One of the more playful touches is the Emoji Crush lock screen, where 3D emojis react to your actions and bring a little joy to your day.
Cameras and screens that get the colours right
Of course, a lifestyle device isn't complete without a camera that can capture it all, and here, the HUAWEI Mate X6 shines. The Ultra Chroma Camera system includes 1.5 million spectral channels, enhancing colour accuracy by 120%. That means true-to-life tones, from the glow of sunset cocktails to the detail in your favourite outfit. It's flattering, fast, and reliable.
The telephoto macro lens lets you shoot everything from wide-open landscapes to intricate jewellery details without changing a single setting. And if you're someone who loves taking control, the 50MP main camera offers ten adjustable aperture sizes, giving you creative freedom to perfect the mood of every image.
Both the 6.45-inch exterior and 7.93-inch internal screens are OLED displays, delivering vivid colour and clarity in any environment. The external screen reaches 2500 nits of brightness, perfect for scrolling outdoors, while the internal screen peaks at 1800 nits for immersive viewing indoors. Adaptive refresh rates from 1Hz to 120Hz ensure every swipe feels silky-smooth, and your battery lasts longer.
The foldable that fits your life and style
The HUAWEI Mate X6 is more than a phone. It's a fashion-forward, function-rich companion designed for people who want their tech to work as beautifully as it looks. With its clever engineering and eye-catching design, it's proof that performance and polish can live in the same device.

Trump vents China's Xi Jinping is ‘extremely hard to make a deal with' as trade talks stall
President Trump railed against Xi Jinping in a late-night social media post days ahead of their planned call, complaining that the Chinese leader is 'extremely hard to make a deal with' as trade talks stall. 'I like President XI of China, always have, and always will, but he is VERY TOUGH, AND EXTREMELY HARD TO MAKE A DEAL WITH!!!' Trump wrote in a Truth Social post at 2:17 a.m. Wednesday. It was not immediately clear whether Trump's attack on Xi was in response to any recent interaction with China or from general frustration with Beijing's approach to trade. Advertisement Trump's dig at Xi comes amid accusations by Washington that China has reneged on the framework agreement reached in Geneva last month — allegations that Beijing denies. The deal outline amounted to a 90-day truce and called for the US to lower its tariff rate of up to 145% to 30% on most Chinese goods, while China would lower its rate from 125% to 10%. 3 President Trump said that Chinese leader Xi Jinping is a difficult negotiating partner. REUTERS Advertisement But the Trump administration believes that China has been making 'slow moves' to relax rare earth exports. China has accused the US of undercutting the spirit of the deal by tightening export restrictions on key chemicals, ratcheting up restrictions on the sale of semiconductor design software to China, putting new warnings on Huawei chips, and revoking visas for its students. 'The fact that they are withholding some of the products that they agreed to release during our agreement — maybe it's a glitch in the Chinese system, maybe it's intentional,' Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent told CBS' 'Face the Nation' on Sunday. 'We'll see after the president speaks with party chairman.' 3 Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent acknowledged that trade talks with China have hit some snags. AFP via Getty Images Advertisement The president had raged against China over those concerns May 30, declaring that Beijing was in 'grave economic danger,' while adding, 'So much for being Mr. NICE GUY.' Trump and Xi are expected to talk on Friday, and the president has spoken fondly of his Beijing counterpart in the past. 'He [Xi] controls 1.4 billion people with an iron fist. I mean, he's a brilliant guy, whether you like it or not,' Trump told podcast titan Joe Rogan last year, musing that reporters 'go crazy' when he says that. 3 President Trump had worked to renegotiate trade with Trump during his first administration. REUTERS Advertisement Trump has been hustling to dramatically overhaul US trade relations. Since taking office, he has imposed 25% tariffs on automobiles, aluminum, steel and imports from Canada and Mexico that don't comply with the 2020 United States-Mexico-Canada free trade agreement. The Trump administration has also imposed a 10% baseline tariff on all imports. On April 2, Trump rolled out 'Liberation Day' tariffs featuring customized rates against virtually every country on the planet. Days later, he paused those and allowed time for his team to cut lightning deals with countries by July 8. The White House has given other nations a deadline of Wednesday to give their best offer on trade talks as deliberations continue to unfold.

TikTok bans the #SkinnyTok hashtag for unhealthy weight-loss content. Will it actually solve the problem?
TikTok, a platform where misinformation and dangerous rhetoric often spreads far and wide, has officially removed the #SkinnyTok hashtag from its search results. The hashtag had become a space for creators to promote restrictive eating and other forms of unhealthy weight-loss content. TikTok spokesperson Paolo Ganino told Politico that the move was part of a 'regular review' of the platform's risks, but it followed considerable pressure from the European Union. Fast Company has reached out to TikTok for comment and will update this post if we hear back. 'Revolting and absolutely unacceptable' In April, France's minister for digital media, Clara Chappaz, requested that the nation's media regulator, Arcom, look into the hashtag. The agency teamed up with the European Commission to review the 'revolting and absolutely unacceptable' videos, as Chappaz described them. The European Commission has also been investigating TikTok's 'risk management of addictive design and harmful content' since February 2024. Users searching #SkinnyTok will now see a landing page that reads, 'If you or someone you know has questions about body image, food, or exercise—it is important to know that help is out there and you are not alone. If you feel comfortable, you can confide in someone you trust or check out the resources below. Please remember to take care of yourselves and each other.' It also has a resources link with an explainer on eating disorders, steps to take if you or your friend needs support, and emergency information. TikTok's community guidelines prohibit videos that promote eating disorders and dangerous weight loss behaviors, and selling or promoting products to lose weight. Last year, TikTok even banned Liv Schmidt, a popular user known for posting controversial eating habits, for violating community guidelines. However, she freely posted to her 670,000 followers until The Wall Street Journal sent questions to TikTok for a profile on Schmidt. She created a new account following her ban. Could other platforms see a #SkinnyTok spillover? Now, #SkinnyTok might be gone from TikTok's search results, but who's to say that users won't migrate to another hashtag or platform to keep sharing these harmful videos? Despite the community guidelines, this content continued out in the open through a well-known hashtag. Before regulatory agencies stepped in, users who searched for #SkinnyTok would see a message from TikTok stating, 'You are more than your weight,' accompanied by a resources button. But the harmful content followed right behind it, violating the rules and risking the health of the users who absorbed it. TikTok, owned by China-based ByteDance, has 1.58 billion monthly users, according to data from SproutSocial. Its largest audience is in the United States.

Private employers add fewest workers in over 2 years as 'hiring hesitancy' hits a slowing US labor market
Private payroll additions tumbled in May as weak consumer sentiment and trade policy uncertainty weighed on hiring. On Wednesday, data from ADP showed private payrolls grew by just 37,000 in May, far fewer than the 114,000 expected by economists and below the 60,000 new jobs added in April. This marked the smallest increase in private payrolls since March 2023. "The weak numbers we're seeing now does not point to a labor market that's collapsing, but there is hiring hesitancy," ADP chief economist Nela Richardson said on a call with reporters. The survey encapsulated the week of May 12, meaning it included initial reaction to the US-China 90-day tariff pause. Additionally, Trump's baseline tariffs of 10% on various countries were in effect. Richardson said trade policy uncertainty is just one of several factors weighing on hiring, with weak consumer sentiment also potentially weighing on labor market activity. "It's like driving through fog for some of our firms here," Richardson told Yahoo Finance during the call with reporters. "When you're in that situation, you can't really stop, but you might slow down. And so that's what we're seeing" She pointed to strong wage growth and low layoffs as points of strength in the labor market. ADP's May data showed wages for workers that changed jobs grew 7% while wages for those who stayed in the same job grew 4.5%. Both were unchanged from the month prior. "The key takeaway is a slowdown in hiring momentum, but still a labor market that's in good enough shape to support consumer spending and provide the Fed the latitude they've had on rates while it continues to decipher its inflation outlook," Richardson said. Richardson added that while May's data was weighed down by economic uncertainty "fog," it isn't a clear sign the labor market is taking a turn for the worse. "I do think that once the uncertainty clears a bit, you'll see more activity in the labor market," Richardson said. President Trump posted about the numbers on Truth Social shortly after the release, calling for Federal Reserve chair Jerome Powell to cut interest rates. "ADP NUMBER OUT!!! 'Too Late' Powell must now LOWER THE RATE," Trump posted. "He is unbelievable!!! Europe has lowered NINE TIMES!" Josh Schafer is a reporter for Yahoo Finance. Follow him on X @_joshschafer.
