======================================================================Huawei 
has revealed the Mate X6 folding phone The main camera has 10 manually 
selectable aperture stops Unlikely to be available in the US or UK 

Huawei has revealed the Mate X6, the latest addition to its Mate X line of 
booklet-style foldables, with a major focus on photography. 

The phone comes equipped with a 50MP main camera with an impressive 10 
physical aperture stops, allowing users to determine the depth of field and 
light intake of the camera manually. Thats a step up from even the best 
camera phones  think Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra and iPhone 16 Pro  which almost 
always have a fixed aperture. 

The camera system also features a 40MP ultra-wide camera and a 48MP telephoto 
camera with 4x optical zoom and a 5cm super macro mode. 

As a folding phone, the Mate X6 boasts a 6.45-inch 1080 x 2440 external 
screen and a 7.93-inch 2240 x 2440 internal screen, both of which are OLED 
panels. A new multitasking feature allows users to run three apps 
simultaneously. Huawei Mate X6 in Nebula Gray (Image credit: Huawei) 

Were still waiting for details on the internals of the new device, but we do 
know that the phones heat dissipation area has increased by 30% thanks to the 
use of new, cooler materials such as graphene. 

However, even if we did have the internal specs of the Mate X6, its unlikely 
theyd be of much use  Huawei hasnt sold phones in the US for years due to a 
legislative ban , and the company is currently absent from the UK market. 

This would make the Mate X6 the second especially innovative foldable 
released by Huawei in recent memory. The Mate XT tri-fold device, for 
instance, arrived in September 2024 and made huge waves with audiences and 
commentators despite only being available in China (that said, we'll be 
publishing our own hands-on review of the device very soon). 

The Huawei Mate X6 is available in three colors:  Nebula Gray, Nebula Red, 
and Black, with the Nebula colors featuring a textured exterior. Regional 
availability beyond Europe  where the phone will begin shipping for 1,999 on 
January 6  has yet to be confirmed.
