The fiercely competitive foldable smartphone market welcomes Huawei’s latest flagship, the HUAWEI Mate X7, officially launched in Hong Kong. Featuring significant improvements in folding durability and hinge performance, it integrates flagship-level photography into an ultra-slim body. Priced at HK$15,988, pre-orders begin today, with official sales starting February 6, 2026.
The Mate X7 is powered by the second-generation Red Maple Imaging System and a massive 5,600mAh battery. Its ultra-thin quad-curved design measures just 9.5mm folded and 4.5mm unfolded, weighing only 235g.
Built on the Folding Xuanwu Architecture, the inner screen introduces an industry-first triple-layer ultra-tough composite structure (non-Newtonian fluid protective layer + UTG impact-resistant layer + carbon fiber support), boosting impact resistance by 20% and bending durability by 100%. The outer screen features second-generation Xuanwu Kunlun tempered glass for superior scratch, impact, and drop protection.
Ultra-Reliable Precision Hinge Addressing common hinge concerns, the new “Ultra-Reliable Precision Hinge” is crafted from ultra-high-strength steel, paired with aerospace-grade aluminum alloy frame for exceptional durability. It also supports IP58 and IP59 dust and water resistance, withstanding high-temperature, high-pressure water jets.
The device delivers HUAWEI X-True™ Display technology: an 8-inch ultra-HD inner screen (2416 × 2210) for immersive, borderless viewing, ideal for multitasking and split-screen workflows. Folded, the 6.49-inch LTPO outer screen (2444 × 1080) reaches 3,000 nits peak brightness for single-handed use.
Camera Highlights Equipped with an ultra-high dynamic range lens featuring innovative four-piece optics and 0.4mm ultra-thin glass, plus a 1/1.28-inch RYYB super-sensitive large sensor and F1.49–F4.0 variable physical aperture.
