Can the Huawei Mate X6 Compete? A Deep Dive Review

[@ddnote]

Thanks for confirming that V3 is not completely flat when unfold. I thought mine is defect. Watching from my V3 😊

[@Techtablets]

No problem 👍 I had about 20 people telling me I was wrong and I had no idea what I was talking about. All Magic V3's do it I've seen and owners I've talked to (other tech reviewers) it's annoying and I always bugs me! I feel like I have to always push it open more.

[@Olympiakos-v2q]

always enjoy watching your videos! keep up the good work Chris!!

[@feegies]

that competes, competes here the important thing is how you as "analysts" do your advertising and do not lose your bias which I see you do

[@13lucasryan]

The best review always 🎉

[@Techtablets]

Glad you think so!

[@Beta-c7t]

The Antutu score you're recording puts it just above the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 in the Oneplus 12 R, which is not even a year old phone at this point. It makes perfect sense that you're able to game on it although this is probably down to improvements in the GPU. Maybe it's just how ridiculously fast the chips have gotten in the last year but in reality Huawei is now only a year behind the competition atleast in performance terms.

[@MisterPikol]

damn those are those good cameras

[@Techtablets]

I think next to the XFold 3 Pro these are some of the best cameras you'll find in a foldable. Definitely better than the Samsung foldables and Pixel. Plus my Oppo N3 and Xiaomi Mix Fold.

[@mohammedourdan7979]

I absolutely love ur honest and detailed reviews, brother! U're doing an amazing job at breaking everything down so clearly. I'm seriously considering going back to Huawei after seeing this, the camera quality and gaming performance are mind-blowing, especially with a 7nm chipset. Thanks for always clarifying the important details and putting so much effort into your content. Keep up the great work!

[@Techtablets]

Glad it was helpful.

[@TheChargeShow]

Awesome video Chris. :)

[@Techtablets]

Thanks for the visit

[@Dare2Blink]

It´s odd that history in google maps and hd definition for Netflix is not working for you, I have them both working just fine on my Mate x3, probably will get fixed soon with an update. Is Celia usable at all in English? That is my biggest gripe with Emui so far.

[@Techtablets]

Firmware thing I think, and yes I also think it will get fixed. Celia works but haven't used it much.

[@morm2173]

Huawei never fails to amaze me , I also heard it has stylus on both screens despite how thin it is. Sometimes I wish Samsung would copy Honor Vivo and Huawei more than Apple because that's where the real Innovation is but w25 was nice

[@Juohmaru79]

You keep mentioning the chipset and it's shortcomings, but you didn't name it! Btw it's the 7 nm kirin 9020...

[@Techtablets]

I thought I mentioned it. Definitely named in the first impressions video.

[@matthewblair7988]

Great review, Chris. Top Job! 😁

[@Techtablets]

Thanks! 👍

[@Monzer_98]

Which version of Emui does it have?

[@johnjudemichaellabus6851]

You are one of my go to tech reviewers i often watch because you review devices regardless of their brand. Anyways, when are you going to have the Mate 70 Pro+?

[@Techtablets]

Thank you. I'm not sure but I will be waiting for the Mate 70 global launch if that one so I can get gmirco/gbox working.

[@AllanPhillips]

The optical zoom figure is fairly meaningless because it depends on the focal length of the main lens. The Magic V3 has a 3.5X zoom, while the Mate X6 has a 4X zoom but they actually both have exactly the same 90mm focal length so they provide exactly the same level of zoom. It would be good to see how the V3 and X6 cameras compare against each other, but it seems hard to justify the 50% higher price of the X6 over the V3 when it has a dated processor and significant software issues due to the lack of baked in Google services.

[@Fosterjuice25]

Given the relationship between huawei and honor wouldn't you except that build level for the v4

[@CrayWing]

Thank you for the review. Any info about the update plans of Huawei regarding this phone? Sorry if I accidentally missed it in your video.

[@Techtablets]

3 years I think it is off the top of my head

[@CrayWing]

@Techtablets Okay. Thank you for reaching out. Best of Christmas holidays to you and your family and everyone 🎄🎅🎆. Stay healthy and keep up the good work. Looking forward to enjoy your content.

[@alihejazi2060]

Thank you Chris for covering this masterpiece, we all admire what's huawei is doing and their struggles with USA, but, when it comes to buying a huawei product even fans will have second thoughts...

[@Techtablets]

It's not easy for them and what they have achieved here is pretty amazing considering

[@kwaktwan]

Looks nice

[@Techtablets]

It's a super nice foldable. Now if only I can get my hands on a Mate XT I will be complete.

[@saw0man]

I sold my P70 Pro and pre order this phone, microG was working amazingly on P70 Pro, please don't tell me it is not working here 💔

[@Techtablets]

It's the new Mate 70 series people have issues with I've seen but that is running HarmonyOS for China. This Mate X6 is the global EMUI software and it's all good for me so far expect getting Android Auto.

[@Gddgvggreedndm]

Do you that the software of Huawei is well optimized and effective in battery life

[@Techtablets]

Yes it certainly is very smooth and great optimisation but app draw mode with the launcher is currently MIA. Battery life for a foldable is good.

[@Gddgvggreedndm]

@Techtablets okay for your experience which software is more optimized in battery life the software of vivo or software of Huawei

[@desepairnei]

What is your preference about most performance foldable phone? 🤔

[@Techtablets]

Magic V3 is one if the best but I'm most excited for the Mate XT. If performance is your thing the OnePlus Open 2 might be worth the wait.

[@desepairnei]

@Techtablets Yeah, because of snapdragon 8 elite. Thank you!

[@kdcnnn1]

GOOD👍👍

[@hellounbox]

its a honor magic v3

[@pandacalvin9561]

No 5G?

[@Techtablets]

Nope

[@nataliegauss9189]

Die müssen nur Huawei mate xt tri fold 1/3 kleiner machen und Schwups die Wups is es so tief wie 4 regular tri fold displays also entspricht in etwa 2 phones und is dan auch 6 fold lang 🥳 aber man muss es auch an der Ecke halten können und bissle wackeln ohne das es verbiegt vielleicht nehmen die titan oder entwickeln neue fervahren

[@sreejithomkaram]

🥰🥰🥰

[@Techtablets]

Thanks for watching!

[@GAMIR_SFM]

7:21 Hahahaha! I see you really got a bit angry from that comment 😆

[@Techtablets]

I had to correct them 😉 And it's nice to be told you're wrong and know nothing by people that have never used the phone or basically every foldable ever made like I have 😄 Neckbeard keyboard warriors know everything and have used everything from their mum's basement.

[@silverfang211]

Still fold6 for me :)))) thicker but look better in my opinion 😂 more important, snapdragon ftw 😂

[@Techtablets]

Hey if it works for you then great!

[@efechief2659]

Every foldable that comes out is the "best" foldable (except the Z). That's why people might doubt that. It has become a watered-down statement. Im not even sure what it means anymore.

[@elmarcentral]

I don't want to be too negative all the time, but it really bugs me that so many companies still continue to use USB A. A USB C to USB C cable/charger would have been so much better.

[@Techtablets]

Yes since my laptop has only type c ports (Matebook X Pro 2024)

[@Dare2Blink]

Awesome, been looking forward to this

[@Techtablets]

Thanks for watching!

[@joenathanz7474]

If only 5G supported

[@Techtablets]

Yes just 4G+ sadly

[@Mrprince.theGoat]

Power button too high

[@Techtablets]

Really I'm using it and haven't thought that. But then everyone is different.

[@srvuk]

Very underwhelming when all things are considered. I just can't get remotely excited over this phone.

[@FranciscoTorres-dr8qm]

Your opinion is limited and influenced by the fact that Huawei pays for your trips and invites you to their events with paid per diems... your opinion is not 100% true.

[@Techtablets]

You couks say that about my first video on the Mate X6 which is why I mentioned they paid for the trip in that video. But if what you say is true why would I point out all the shortcomings now? And then what about Oppo, Vivo and others I go to launch events for?
