Huawei has officially confirmed the global launch of its highly anticipated Mate X6 foldable smartphone, scheduled for December 12, 2024, in Dubai. This announcement comes after the device’s successful debut in China last month, where it was introduced alongside the Huawei Mate 70 series.
Launch Event Details
The launch event will feature the tagline “Unfold the classic as a new era of flagship foldable excellence begins,” signaling Huawei’s commitment to innovation in the foldable smartphone market. The teaser image shared by Huawei on social media clearly indicates that the Mate X6 will be the star of the event, although there is speculation about other devices being showcased as well.
What to Expect from the Mate X6
The Mate X6 is expected to bring several enhancements over its predecessor, including a thinner design and larger displays. It will feature a robust camera setup and support for various charging options, including 66W wired, 50W wireless, and 7.5W reverse wireless charging.
While the Chinese version of the Mate X6 runs on HarmonyOS NEXT, it remains uncertain whether the global variant will ship with Android or a version of HarmonyOS that supports Android applications. This decision will likely depend on the readiness of global apps for HarmonyOS NEXT.
Other Potential Announcements
In addition to the Mate X6, Huawei may also introduce other products during the event, such as:
- The MatePad Pro 13.2
- FreeBuds Pro 4
However, there has been no confirmation regarding the global availability of the Mate 70 series, which may remain exclusive to China for now.
