The foldable phone space just got hotter — Huawei has officially launched the Mate X7 globally, following its debut in China last month.
Priced at EUR 2,099 (around ₹2.2 lakh), the new book-style foldable isn’t just a looker; it’s packed with cutting-edge hardware, including the Kirin 9030 Pro chipset, a stunning dual-screen layout, HarmonyOS 6.0, and powerful camera tech on both sides of the fold.
Let’s take a closer look at everything the Mate X7 brings to the table.
Design
Huawei hasn’t cut any corners with the design of the Mate X7. This is a book-style foldable phone, which means it opens up like a notebook. On the outside, it has a 6.49-inch curved OLED cover screen, while inside, you get a large 8-inch flexible LTPO OLED display.
Both displays are bright, fluid, and ultra-responsive, supporting adaptive refresh rates (1Hz–120Hz) and high-frequency PWM dimming for better eye comfort.
The outer screen is protected by second-generation Kunlun glass, while the overall build comes with IP58 and IP59 ratings — making it dust and water-resistant. It’s available in Black, Brocade White, and Nebula Red.
Display
Here’s a quick breakdown of the screen specs:
| Display Type | Size | Resolution | Brightness | Features |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Inner Display | 8-inch | 2,210 x 2,416 px | 2,500 nits | LTPO OLED, 240Hz touch sampling |
| Cover Display | 6.49-inch | 1,080 x 2,444 px | 3,000 nits | Quad-curved OLED, 300Hz sampling |
Both screens offer stunning clarity, vivid colors, and ultra-smooth touch response. Whether folded or unfolded, the Mate X7 promises an immersive experience.
Performance
Powering the Mate X7 is the Kirin 9030 Pro chipset, Huawei’s in-house SoC. It’s built to deliver flagship-level performance while also being power-efficient. Paired with 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage, this device can handle heavy multitasking, gaming, and productivity like a pro.
And if you’re wondering — no, this phone doesn’t run on Android. Instead, it features HarmonyOS 6.0, Huawei’s own operating system, built for smooth, cross-device experiences.
Camera
One of the standout features of the Huawei Mate X7 is its camera setup. On the back, you get a triple-camera system:
- 50MP primary sensor (RYYB, f/1.4–f/4.0, OIS)
- 40MP ultra-wide sensor (RYYB, f/2.2)
- 50MP telephoto sensor (RYYB, OIS)
The rear cameras also include a second-generation red maple sensor for enhanced low-light photography.
On the front, there are two 8MP selfie cameras — one on the inner display and one on the cover screen, ensuring you’re always ready for a quick video call or selfie, no matter how you’re using the phone.
Battery
Huawei has equipped the Mate X7 with a 5,300mAh battery, supporting both 66W wired and 50W wireless fast charging. That’s a solid power setup for a foldable phone, giving you a full day’s use and quick top-ups when needed.
In China, there’s also a Collector’s Edition with a 5,600mAh battery, but globally, only the standard version is available (for now).
Connectivity
Huawei hasn’t skimped on connectivity either. The Mate X7 supports:
- Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 6
- Global navigation systems: GPS, AGPS, NavIC, Glonass, Galileo, BeiDou, QZSS
- USB Type-C
- NFC
It also packs in a wide array of sensors, including:
- Fingerprint sensor
- Infrared sensor
- Barometer
- Laser autofocus
- Gyroscope
- Ambient light sensor
- And more
This makes it ideal not just for everyday users, but for power users and tech enthusiasts who love having all the tools at their fingertips.
Price
The Huawei Mate X7 is priced at:
- EUR 2,099 (approx. ₹2.2 lakh) in Europe
- CNY 12,999 (approx. ₹1.63 lakh) in China
It’s available in a single 16GB + 512GB variant and comes in three elegant colors — Black, Brocade White, and Nebula Red. While global availability is rolling out, Indian availability hasn’t been confirmed yet.
Should You Buy It?
If you’re looking for a premium foldable with flagship specs, Huawei’s Mate X7 is definitely worth considering. It offers:
- Gorgeous dual displays
- High-performance hardware
- Unique camera system
- Fast charging
- Durable build
Of course, without Google services, you’ll need to rely on Huawei’s app ecosystem. But for those who can live without the Play Store, the Mate X7 is a serious flagship contender in the foldable game.
