The Huawei Mate X6 was introduced for China in late November, but the advanced foldable is now going global. Only one version will be available, 12/512GB, which will cost €2,000. Huawei will start shipping the Mate X6 to global customers on January 6.

That’s a lot of money – especially for a phone that doesn’t have Google Play support. To be fair, Huawei has been expanding its AppGallery since its launch and also has banking apps, etc. Still, that’s a lot of money.

The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold6 also costs €2,000, although this is for 12/256GB. Of course, you can find it at lower prices now that it’s a few months old. However, the Galaxy Z Fold7 is expected to launch at the same price and will be more similar to the Z Fold Special Edition (10.6mm folded, 236g) than the existing model (12.1mm folded, 239g). For comparison, the Mate is 9.9mm thick and weighs 239 grams. The Z Fold6 has 50+10+12MP cameras, but the Z Fold7 is expected to have 200MP main cameras. The Galaxy is no battery champion, with only 4,400mAh in the tank and 25W wired and 15W wireless charging. The Z Fold7 may bring an upgrade, but we’re not holding our breath.

The Mate has a larger cover display (6.45″ 120Hz LTPO) and larger internal display (7.6″) than the Galaxy. And it has a massive 5,110mAh battery with fast 66W wired and 50W wireless charging. It lacks a dust resistance rating (but it does have IPX8 for water protection).

What other foldables are out there? Not so much in the European market. For example, there is the Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold. It curves up to 10.5mm and is relatively heavy at 257 grams. It has a 6.3” cover display and 8” inner display. Cameras include a 48MP main, 10.8MP 112mm periscope and 10.5MP ultrawide (127°). The Pixel has a 4,650mAh battery with 21W wired and only 7.5W wireless charging.

The Honor Magic V3 is priced at €2,000 for a 12/512GB unit (which seems to be the price of choice for a horizontal foldable). It has a 6.43” cover and 7.92” internal display and folds down to only 9.2mm. It’s also light, weighing in at 226 grams (or a few grams more, depending on which back you prefer). It is equipped with a 50MP main, 50MP 90mm periscope and 40MP ultrawide (16mm, 112°). The battery capacity is 5,150mAh and it charges at 66W wired and 50W wirelessly.

For the Indian market, the Honor Magic V3 will launch soon, while the Vivo X Fold3 Pro is already available at a price of ₹160,000 for the 16/512GB unit.
