Many of the improvements of the Kirin 9020 can only be fully experienced by upgrading to HarmonyOS Next, as they are based on enhancements in system-level integration and chip adaptation.
not really, it's 4 large(2 thread each), 4 small cores, total 12 thread. This time, small cores are custom(sort of), with out-of-order execution instead of in-order as before
So, best foldable of 2024? I mean best build quality, best camera, best or very close to best battery life, I would also bet its the most durable. Can you please on your final review include some software specific stuff like does the new full screen multitasking work, how about celia? Is it finally usefull at all? Any Ai features? Thanks in advance
Awesome, while on holiday, my favourite tech reviewer in the same city as I am, I was in that frame earlier today. Nice review! In the market to replace my aging Mi Ultra 10.
Chris in the middle of Habibs 😂, enjoy Dubai, I feel like I'm looking at Honor magic V3, upgraded, I have Vivo x fold 3 pro can you compare them later.
I like Huawei phones very much but because of the software limitations, it will barely sell outside China. BTW Chris, can you please make a test to see if it works with other smartwaches? I am in love with my Samsung watch ultra. Thank you very much.
LOL whooah nice trip. Good for you Chris going for the free sponsored trip, you've built up a great video channel so you deserve to enjoy the fruits of your labour.
I am the happy owner of an Honor Maghic V3, which carries the Huawei DNA. You can certainly see that reflected in the Mate X6; it's very similar to the Magic V3 in almost every way. Not a bad thing; Huawei and Honor cater to different audiences and the Magic V3 is a fantastic device. I'm sure the Mate X6 is too.
I assume Apple is monitoring and, based on the slowdown in fold sales, has decided that there is no money in this sector. So they are in no rush and will wait. Bearing in mind that folding phones may be dead in a couple of years when we get rolling phones, that is probably very sensible. But I am sure if sales pick up to make it profitable, they are ready to step in, maybe in 2026. Though they may instead go with a folding iPad instead.
This is untrue; its chip is 7nm, so it is inferior. You will notice it especially over time. The worst part is that in Europe, these have been very expensive, around £400 more expensive than the Honor version, which is basically the same but with better hardware and full Google support. Hard to imagine many people choosing this over the Magic V3 or other alternatives. I suppose if you are loyal to China and want to support Huawei, then that is the main reason.
If the reported prices are correct, it is way too expensive. I can see it being banned in the US, especially with Google services on their own OS. Vegan Grey made me chuckle.
Been hearing that for the last 4 years and yet Samsung remains the leader of foldables w/o the best hardware. But I understand people can't just enjoy their phones unless they take shots at another.
@efechief2659 it's not a shot! They dominate the US market. If you held my phone and a fold 6, you would understand what I'm saying. I honestly think it's pathetic, not to mention the price difference.
I had a Chinese V3 but couldn't live with it and sold it to get the Global one to resolve these issues. It has a very similar experience to UAE Huawei devices. - Google assistant (or gemini) doesn't support "hey google" and doesn't allow commands like "call dad" "navigate to x" "WhatsApp message dave xyz". - No android auto. - Doesn't work with WearOS watches like the Galaxy watches and one plus ones. No circle to search. -No google maps timeline. - Windows phone link stops working intermittently and needs to be reconnected. - Very slow updates and bad support. Micro G is a band aid, doesn't resolve the tons of missing features. If you're looking for a foldable wait for the Samsung Fold 7, or the OnePlus Open 2. (or get a used Global Honor V3 or Vivo Fold 3)
You didn’t get what I meant the Samsung Z Fold 6 even my V3 feel like when open it’s not 100% but of course you have these phones. Sponsored yes they paid the trip as mentioned
I'm quite disappointed about your review to be honest. OK, Huawei invited u well, but one of the best foldable, seriously? The X Fold 3 Pro has more battery, super fast charging, 4500 nits outer and inner screen and the best camera of any fold. Really disappointed cause u held the OriginOS and the Funtouch in your hands. Plus this Fold only got 8 megapixel front camera... Way too far behind. Please do not compare any Fold from Samsung, not a reference in this foldable section. The worst. This Mate is just an everage device in the foldable world nowardays. Hope you don't mind me speaking frankly.
Huawei just doesnt interest me anymore. Yes great devices but without google and the hazle coming with that.. i cant justify to buy them. Especially for those insane euro prices.
I use custom ROM on my Xiaomi device especially I am removing Google from my phone and life is really great. Gboard is probably the only good app from Google.
Dear Chris, I like you and watch almost all of your videos, but I have to give a dislike because you use the translated video title feature that I detest. For what have I even learned English since 3rd grade in primary school?
The most beautiful foldable i've seen. The outer screen is especially beautiful
Sorry the slight slip up at 14 minutes has been fixed. It's bee a long day...
its ok
The phone is so good that you thought it was a Samsung.
That's how I'd spin that.
Amasing , like always Huawei the best.
Finally a global version of their foldable, and it improved so much from the X5! Amazing, can't wait to get my hands on.
This optical x4 look good, watching this from my X fold 3 pro but Huawei still look kind on camera on foldable
Many of the improvements of the Kirin 9020 can only be fully experienced by upgrading to HarmonyOS Next, as they are based on enhancements in system-level integration and chip adaptation.
Just received my vivo x fold 3 today and im already feeling jealous
Why? Vivo foldables are superior.
@@proptanz3377 lol just like a kid who likes every new toy.. but vivo foldables are just superb in every way
Why the Xfold 3 is very good
Nice!! Phone looks beautiful and software smooth. Worth looking at for sure. Well done Huawei 🎉
14:00 excelent device from samsung?
😂
man's tired, just a slip
Man said Erimate at the beginning instead of Emirates. Cut him some slack 😂
🤣👍
Indeed jet lag and 3 hours sleep 🙈🤦♂️
Great review! Thank you very much!
My pleasure!
Not a review
Cores of the SoC is probably 6 cores but with multithreading which allows you torun 12 threads.
Yes you’re right I think
not really, it's 4 large(2 thread each), 4 small cores, total 12 thread. This time, small cores are custom(sort of), with out-of-order execution instead of in-order as before
Thanks for your clarity & integrity.
So, best foldable of 2024? I mean best build quality, best camera, best or very close to best battery life, I would also bet its the most durable. Can you please on your final review include some software specific stuff like does the new full screen multitasking work, how about celia? Is it finally usefull at all? Any Ai features? Thanks in advance
Sure and thanks for watching
Amazing video🔥🔥
Thank you!
Do you know price of huawei freebuds 4 pro?
Do you know spatial audio its from huawei freebuds 4 pro or i must have a huawei smartphone?
HUAWEI FreeBuds Pro 4 will be available from January 15th 2025 from £179.99 sorry not tested spatial audio do they even have it?
@Techtablets i think in some huawei smartphones is available thank you for information
Still EMUI14.2? HK Huawei has not announced the OS yet,but in fact air basketball requires HarmonyOS5.0 in mainland China
It’s EMUI 15
Awesome, while on holiday, my favourite tech reviewer in the same city as I am, I was in that frame earlier today. Nice review! In the market to replace my aging Mi Ultra 10.
Google play store comes in the box?
No but you just need gbox or microg and you have play
It's Huawei still banned in many countries? Surely the magic v3 is on par with this. Great review by the way
Yup. Magic v3 best alternate to Huawei.. Internally both same..
Nice job Huawei
you would say is better than a mate 40pro?
Chris in the middle of Habibs 😂, enjoy Dubai, I feel like I'm looking at Honor magic V3, upgraded, I have Vivo x fold 3 pro can you compare them later.
Thank you so much Chris for giving us an insight on mate x6
Wonder, if the anounce the nova 13 series and gave them to techies for review?
I didn't get the Nova 13 but it looks good.
I like Huawei phones very much but because of the software limitations, it will barely sell outside China. BTW Chris, can you please make a test to see if it works with other smartwaches? I am in love with my Samsung watch ultra. Thank you very much.
excelent device from samsung? You risk that Huawei doesn't invite you anymore to review a product. 😅😅😅 Correct it immediately! 😂
Shhhh LOL
excellent Samsung was a joke 😂
@@IT-po3yt😂yes sure! 😂
😂
android 12? whats the emui version or emui
EMUI 15
Yes and EMUI 15
@@Techtablets it's can install apk witch some vmare app, eg: youtube, gms,x and facebook. both of them: harmony next , emui 15
LOL whooah nice trip. Good for you Chris going for the free sponsored trip, you've built up a great video channel so you deserve to enjoy the fruits of your labour.
Thank you I see that some others don’t agree but it’s nice to get the tech early and sure the trips are nice.
Is run on Harmony OS or Android?
This is the global version right? Where can we order?
This is a global model yes. You can order from Huawei.com
is 5G supported?
No but 4G+
Any lag when receiving WhatsApp messages? Can 2 separate WhatsApp accounts run simultaneously next to each other?
You have a flat in Dubai now?
hotel
Yes I bought an apartment
@@gantenbeinableof course hotel
Did it come wirh emui 15?
It does
@Techtablets does it look like harmony os next? Like the animations and the control center
Nice phone

nice reivew
Thank you
how can Huawei bring out the Huawei mate x6 in a global version and not the Huawei mate xt ?
Not enough XT productio. Can't buy it by walk-in in a China's shop even I have the money. Must pre-order and wait, wait, and wait.
Apple really needs to step it up , they are the bottom of the pile for innovation and keeping up with current tech like folding phones
I assume Apple is monitoring and, based on the slowdown in fold sales, has decided that there is no money in this sector. So they are in no rush and will wait. Bearing in mind that folding phones may be dead in a couple of years when we get rolling phones, that is probably very sensible. But I am sure if sales pick up to make it profitable, they are ready to step in, maybe in 2026. Though they may instead go with a folding iPad instead.
Huawei is very underrated, I wish Samsung would copy them more than Apple
Hi but has it harmony next?
Only in China.
No it’s EMUI 15
Only in china but you can choose when you buy it whether you want harmonyos next or harmonyos
It looks very similar to the Honor Magic V3
Sure does

Greetings, the truth is that with an optimized OS along with the processor, you don't miss having a next-generation Qualcomm processor.
This is untrue; its chip is 7nm, so it is inferior. You will notice it especially over time. The worst part is that in Europe, these have been very expensive, around £400 more expensive than the Honor version, which is basically the same but with better hardware and full Google support. Hard to imagine many people choosing this over the Magic V3 or other alternatives. I suppose if you are loyal to China and want to support Huawei, then that is the main reason.
Unless you game or demand the max performance. But outside of the gaming and benchmarks you don't really notice it's a weaker SoC.
If the reported prices are correct, it is way too expensive. I can see it being banned in the US, especially with Google services on their own OS. Vegan Grey made me chuckle.
Bro just casually revealing that the Kirin 9020 is faster than the S23 (Snapdragon 2 Elite).
This Is android?
Of course
finding for cases for this phone will be painful
Well it comes with one 🤷♂️
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
👍 thanks for watching
Its another Honor V3.... Now, all foldables looks like the same...
Huawei mate 70 pro huawei pura 70 ultra camera tast
Don’t have the Mate 70 Pro yet
Video from phone looks very natural. But how use it on gimbal?...
folded
Correct folded
Samsung can't touch this yet. Watching on my xfold3 pro
Been hearing that for the last 4 years and yet Samsung remains the leader of foldables w/o the best hardware.
But I understand people can't just enjoy their phones unless they take shots at another.

7nm chip is a no no.
Looks exactly the same as my honor V2
damn
:)
😃
Cameras don't look that great TBH.
Copy paste of honor magic v3...
Well the magic is lighter
@Techtablets that's why it's magic 😉
Watching this video on my best fold Honor Magic V3😂😂
Nice phone!

If you're looking for a foldable wait for the Samsung Fold 7, or the OnePlus Open 2. (or get a used Global Honor V3 or Vivo Fold 3)
Purchase pixel fold, if you want Google experience
@antimotivation10 it's also a good option but not available in many countries.
How do you ID between chinese rom and global in the options?
"Most foldables don't come open...Some don't open flat...)
Very sponsored video 🤣
You didn’t get what I meant the Samsung Z Fold 6 even my V3 feel like when open it’s not 100% but of course you have these phones. Sponsored yes they paid the trip as mentioned
@Techtablets
In fact, i have the Z Fold 6 recently. It opens soo flat that it may even be a tiiiiny bit backwards 🤔
4g only😂😂😂
4G+ 😃
Seems that the cameras are really bad
Really? For a foldable?
I'm quite disappointed about your review to be honest. OK, Huawei invited u well, but one of the best foldable, seriously?
The X Fold 3 Pro has more battery, super fast charging, 4500 nits outer and inner screen and the best camera of any fold.

I don’t. And yes the build is one of the best very nice hinge feel better than my V3. Chipset not the best as mentioned
