Huawei introduced the Mate X6 with a 4.6mm body, which gives it a very delicate look and feel. To address any concerns, the company released a four-minute long video showing how durable the foldable smartphone is.
The full video was posted on Weibo, and it revealed the internals of the phone, its heat dissipation, the durability of the frame, and even the strength of the cover screen and folding panel. You can watch it below:
This arrangement minimizes thermal throttling and is a fairly standard practice in the industry.
The Mate X6 has 3D VC with liquid cooling. Huawei has also equipped the phone with a graphite sheet, which is more thermoconductive. This means that it can cut through a solid block of ice faster than a copper plate.
The hinge and frame are made from a new, stronger material. Our Chinese is rough, so we relied on a machine translator who said it was an aerospace-grade material used in rockets. Unlike its unnamed competitor, the frame remains upright even after heavy blows from a cement block.
The 6.45″ cover screen is protected by second-generation Kunlun Glass. It also does a great job of protecting the display and didn’t even get scratched in controlled testing.
The most impressive test came when Huawei decided to show off the power of foldable displays. The 7.93-inch panel, as thin as a piece of paper, remained in one piece even after hanging a 300-kilogram motorcycle.
Folding smartphones are becoming more durable by the day, and the Mate X6 is another step in the right direction.
