What the reviewers said

3.5/5Jul 21, 2026
A premium foldable with outstanding cameras and a fast-enough chip, held back by a reflective, crease-prone display, weak battery life and a high price.
Premium leather-look design and light weight for a foldable
Excellent camera system with strong 3.5x telephoto zoom
Sharp 4K video, though limited to 30 FPS
Clean EMUI with little bloatware
66W wired charging refills quickly
Reflective display fold is prone to glare and fingerprints
Processor trails other flagships in benchmarks and gaming
Battery of 5300 mAh drains fast under heavy use
No Google Play Store; requires Aurora Store workaround
A solid foldable with better zoom, screens and battery, but little real-world change from the Mate X6. Worth buying mainly at its promotional price, not the recommended one.
Improved telephoto camera with stronger detail rendering
Larger, brighter inner and outer OLED displays
Bigger battery and slightly thinner, lighter design
