Folded, it\u2019s only marginally thicker than a traditional smartphone. Unfolded, it becomes the thinnest foldable on the market, measuring just 3.6mm. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The use of ultra-thin leather on the back surface gives it a refined, premium feel, while keeping the overall device lightweight and comfortable to hold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Its remarkable design also features Eonic Curves on the camera module, a manufacturing feat that sees each lens crafted over 22 days and subjected to 78 precision processes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The result is a smartphone that is as much an engineering breakthrough as it is a piece of mobile art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"629\" src=\"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Huawei-Image-3-1200x629.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-589765\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Huawei-Image-3-1200x629.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Huawei-Image-3-600x314.jpg 600w, https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Huawei-Image-3-768x402.jpg 768w, https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Huawei-Image-3-1536x805.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Huawei-Image-3-2048x1073.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Flexible display.

Built with ultra-high strength steel, this multi-directional hinge allows both inward and outward folding while maintaining structural integrity and smooth movement. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s been engineered for durability, ensuring the phone remains resilient and reliable even with frequent folding over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"628\" src=\"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Huawei-Image-4-1200x628.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-589764\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Huawei-Image-4-1200x628.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Huawei-Image-4-600x314.jpg 600w, https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Huawei-Image-4-768x402.jpg 768w, https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Huawei-Image-4-1536x804.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Huawei-Image-4-2048x1073.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When you want one fold<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The launch of the HUAWEI Mate XT is accompanied by the local availability of the HUAWEI Mate X6, a device that has already set a new benchmark for foldable durability and performance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Combining sleek aesthetics with serious engineering, the Mate X6 features dual OLED displays protected by 2nd Gen Kunlun Glass and supported by an aerospace-grade aluminium frame for exceptional strength and rigidity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Its advanced multi-dimensional hinge design allows for seamless folding while reducing thickness, making it one of the slimmest foldables yet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Equipped with an Ultra Chroma Camera system and a ten-size adjustable physical aperture, the Mate X6 delivers remarkable image accuracy and clarity, even in complex lighting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether for work, content creation or immersive entertainment, the Mate X6 offers a robust, high-performance experience wrapped in a lightweight, ultra-durable form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the world\u2019s first tri-fold smartphone now on South African shelves, Huawei isn\u2019t just evolving the smartphone category.
