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. Discover the HUAWEI Mate X6 now and make your everyday extraordinary. Available online and in select stores across South Africa.

When life gets too large for one screen: Here's why the foldable smartphones are for multitaskers
Gimmick or Genius? Why the foldable remains an underrated innovation Foldable smartphones have captivated tech enthusiasts, blending excitement with scepticism. Are they just a flashy trend, or do they truly transform the way we use our devices? The HUAWEI Mate X6 is here to prove that foldable technology isn't just about innovation—it's about real-world practicality and a superior user experience. But beyond the sleek, futuristic design, there's more potential than we might have given it credit for. After all, most of us already juggle multiple devices and screens to work, unwind, stay connected with friends and family, and manage personal tasks. A foldable, like the latest HUAWEI Mate X6, could be the answer. Make Your Travels More Productive On business trips, a foldable can help eliminate the hassle of juggling multiple devices, especially when working from a cramped train or plane seat. Connectivity is often unreliable, and cross-device file management can become frustrating with inconsistent Wi-Fi. With a single device, you can unfold the screen to nearly double your screen real estate, transforming your smartphone into a mini tablet whenever you need it. And with the HUAWEI Mate X6's lightweight yet durable design, you can seamlessly switch between tasks, even while walking through the airport terminal. The Live Multi-task feature lets you run up to three apps simultaneously, so you can join a meeting, send an email, and reference a document all at once — no laptop required. From Shoot to Publish with a Single Device If you're a content creator, you need more than just a camera and a social media app. Between creation and publication is a whole workflow, from refining visuals and brainstorming ideas to managing followers and engagement. While filming your next vlog, the HUAWEI Mate X6's split-screen feature can instantly improve your photos. Open up the screen, and the phone becomes a viewfinder, making it easier to pose solo or with friends on the go. When it's time to edit, the Mate X6's Live Multi-task feature lets you simultaneously fine-tune your images, scroll through visual references on social media, and jot down caption ideas in the notes app. And when you're ready to post, Live Multi-task lets you expand your social media app to full screen while keeping everything else running in the background — so nothing is lost or unsaved. A New Way to Get Together Socialising online has never been easier, thanks to foldable smartphone technology — and with so many ways to share experiences digitally, staying connected is a breeze. While catching up on the latest episode of your favourite TV series, the HUAWEI Mate X6's Live Multi-task lets you dive into online episode discussions and share your theories in the group chat at the same time. When the episode reaches a climactic moment, you can expand the screen to fully immerse yourself, with other apps still running in the background. Heading to a concert with friends? The Mate X6's multi-window feature lets you bid for tickets online while keeping the group chat updated in real-time. And if the concert's in another city, you can also pull up a new window to make travel plans and book hotels — all without losing your spot in the ticket queue. Far from being just a novelty, foldables are proving to be invaluable tools for multitaskers. With advanced multitasking features and a form factor that doubles as a tablet, foldable phones are cementing their place in today's fast-paced digital world.

Making the World's First Tri-fold Smartphone: The Story Behind the HUAWEI Mate XT
After months of anticipation and media buzz, the trifold sensation, HUAWEI Mate XT, has finally arrived, marking a significant milestone in foldable smartphone technology. As more users get their hands on this innovative device, they are discovering that it offers much more than just the groundbreaking triple folding screen that initially stole the spotlight. Beyond the eye-catching display, the Mate XT has captivated users with its exceptional design and state-of-the-art camera features. This is a smartphone that's reimagining how we interact with them. Early Emergence of Revolutionary Foldable Design While most foldables in the market have been criticised for their bulky builds and overly mechanical aesthetics, the Mate series foldables have managed to remain uncompromising in their design. In fact, Huawei has laid new inroads in foldable design even before the Mate XT. A few months ago, the HUAWEI Mate X6 was launched to widespread acclaim, introducing a new foldable screen architecture that includes a Carbon Fiber Inner Screen Plate for support, a Multi-dimensional Hinge as the structural backbone, and the rugged 2nd Generation Kunlun glass for the exterior screen. These remarkable materials significantly enhanced the durability of the bifold while preserving its thin and lightweight appearance. Unfolding a New Dimension with HUAWEI Mate XT Huawei then pushed the boundaries of foldable screen technology further, embarking on a new trifold design with an additional screen. In the fall of 2024, Huawei achieved a groundbreaking milestone, launching the world's first commercial trifold smartphone in local markets in China. To ensure the device fits comfortably in the palm of the user's hand while maintaining its sleek appearance, Huawei worked against all odds to deliver a true miracle; a trifold that remains as thin and light as a bifold. Currently, the Mate XT holds the record for the world's largest foldable display at 10.2 inches, and it is also the world's thinnest foldable, with an unfolded thickness of just 3.6 mm. Don't be fooled by its appearance, though. The wafer-thin screen is toughened to withstand everyday scuffs and accidental slips. The screen is reinforced with non-Newtonian fluid materials and an ultra-thin 322 cm² glass, forming a composite structure that offers dual impact resistance. Flexibility is the Name of the Game With its Advanced Precision Hinge System, the HUAWEI Mate XT is the first foldable to seamlessly fold both inward and outward. With a versatile range of screen configurations, the smartphone adapts effortlessly to various uses, from browsing in portrait or landscape mode, to a 10.2-inch immersive display for split-screen multitasking. This flexibility gives users greater freedom to interact with the device. The Mate XT's expansive screen offers three modes—single, dual, and triple screen—tailoring the experience for everything from a quick call to complex tasks. Whether switching from watching a movie in dual mode to unfolding an extra screen to read reviews, the phone seamlessly transitions between modes, optimizing apps for the best experience. The user interface adjusts to different screen sizes to offer smooth interactions. Crafted from Ultra-High Strength Steel, the trifold's hinge system boasts a remarkable deformation resistance of 1900 MPa, ensuring long-lasting durability through frequent openings and closings. Ultra Aperture XMAGE Camera The HUAWEI Mate XT comes with an exceptional camera system powered by XMAGE, offering a range of powerful photography tools that easily outshine the competition. It features a 10-size Adjustable Physical Aperture, supporting settings from F/1.4 to F/4.0. Additionally, the Mate XT introduces cutting-edge Ultra Speed Snapshot technology, allowing you to capture fleeting moments with razor-sharp precision. Even a maglev train or sports car speeding past you, nearly impossible to catch with the naked eye, can be captured in mid-action. Huawei is offering a premium service package for HUAWEI Mate XT customers, including a full year of HUAWEI Care+ with single-incident screen damage protection, four complimentary screen protector replacements, and free door-to-door and postal service. For users who rely on their smartphones for everything from work to entertainment, the HUAWEI Mate XT | ULTIMATE DESIGN is the perfect choice, offering a larger screen and an unparalleled Multiview experience. Moreover, owning a HUAWEI Mate XT means holding a piece of history in the palm of your hand.
