Five-Year Crown: Huawei Consecutively Tops China's Foldable Screen Market Share
"Daring to do what others can't even imagine, what they can think of but can't achieve, or even what they dare not think of, and daring to innovate to lead the industry's development." Huawei dares to be the pioneer in the industry. In 2019, Huawei's first-generation folding flagship, HUAWEI Mate X, emerged, opening up new imaginations for the form of smartphones. Over the past five years, Huawei has continuously advanced into the innovation no-man's-land of foldable screens, bringing refreshing new technologies and experiences in key areas such as hinges, screens, and batteries of foldable screens, winning the recognition and pursuit of consumers, and achieving the top position in China's foldable screen market share for five consecutive years.
With each product iteration of Huawei's foldable screens, a more flexible opening and closing experience is brought. From the out-folding Eagle Wing Hinge to the Dual-Rotation Eagle Wing Hinge, and then to the in-folding Dual-Rotation Waterdrop Hinge, and the Huawei Tian Gong Hinge System, which have been successively applied in Huawei's previous generations of foldable screen bodies, the reliability of foldable screens has been continuously evolving. At the same time, new breakthroughs have been continuously made in innovative materials. The inner screen of HUAWEI Mate X3 is the first to apply non-Newtonian fluid materials, becoming stronger when encountering a stronger force; the outer screen of HUAWEI Mate X5 innovatively applies Xuanwu Tempered Kunlun Glass, making the overall machine more scratch-resistant and drop-resistant; the world's first commercial triple-folding screen phone, HUAWEI Mate XT Extraordinary Master, launched this year, is boldly innovative in new materials, new technologies, and new processes.
From form innovation to ecological innovation of foldable screens, Huawei is deeply cultivating the foldable screen system ecosystem. Since 2019, Huawei has joined hands with the Software Green Alliance to establish the first foldable screen application ecosystem alliance, and has successively launched the "White Paper on Foldable Screen Mobile Intelligent Terminals", the "Design and Development Guidelines for the Human-Machine Interface of Foldable Screen Mobile Intelligent Terminals", and the "Industry Specifications for the Software Design and Development of Foldable Screens", promoting the popularization of ecological standards and specifications for foldable screen phones, establishing a demonstration effect for the foldable ecosystem, and empowering the foldable screen phone industry, allowing users to further enjoy the intelligent experience and efficiency improvement brought by the foldable ecosystem.
HUAWEI Mate X6 Is Exceptionally Powerful, A Classic of Foldable Screens
Huawei continues to explore in folding technology, continuously bringing users unique and stunning designs and excellent user experiences. HUAWEI Mate X6 is the latest achievement of Huawei's continuous R & D and innovation in the field of foldable screen phones, bringing breakthrough innovations in aspects such as the overall machine architecture, imaging capabilities, and the native HarmonyOS operating system.
HUAWEI Mate X6 pioneers the Distributed Xuanwu Architecture, breaking the traditional layout of the main frame and the sub-frame of the foldable screen, increasing the space utilization of the phone's sub-frame by 32%. Antennas, heat dissipation and other components have more abundant layout space. Through the application of innovative materials, significant improvements in reliability, communication, and heat dissipation are achieved, bringing the ultimate space utilization and performance boost. In terms of reliability, HUAWEI Mate X6 is equipped with innovative black technologies such as the new Xuanwu Waterdrop Hinge and the second-generation Xuanwu Tempered Kunlun Glass [1], which, together with the new architecture, build a strong body of the phone, bringing a more reliable and durable user experience.

In terms of communication, thanks to the larger space and better layout brought by the Distributed Xuanwu Architecture, HUAWEI Mate X6 significantly improves the signal capability from the folded state to the unfolded state, and can provide users with a stable network connection even in a weak signal environment. More notably, HUAWEI Mate X6 is also equipped with two satellite communication functions, Tiantong Satellite Communication and Beidou Satellite Message, enabling it to still be able to contact the outside world in an environment without ground network signal coverage. HUAWEI Mate X6 has once again evolved and made a breakthrough in the path of satellite communication for mass-market smartphones, and it can connect to the satellite in as fast as 9 seconds, bringing the satellite communication connection speed into the single-digit level. In terms of heat dissipation, the distributed heat dissipation layout, combined with innovative materials such as ultra-high thermal conductivity graphene and 3D liquid cooling VC, can remain cool even in heavy-load scenarios where large-scale mobile games and video calls are running simultaneously.
In terms of imaging, HUAWEI Mate X6 has achieved a new breakthrough in color restoration. HUAWEI Mate X6 possesses the powerful capabilities of Huawei Imaging XMAGE. The new Red Maple Primary Color Imaging System achieves another improvement in imaging capabilities, and it breakthroughly adopts a 1.5 million multi-spectral channel camera, improving the color restoration degree by 120%. Whether it is skin color, clothing color or natural color, it can accurately capture and restore the real color. HUAWEI Mate X6 is also equipped with a 50-megapixel super-light-changing main camera that supports ten-level physical variable aperture, a 48-megapixel periscope telephoto macro camera that supports 4x optical zoom and 5cm super macro, and a 40-megapixel ultra-wide-angle camera. Additionally, the "Expanded Clarity" function is added, making the foreground and background of macro shooting clear.
In terms of software experience, Huawei has established a relatively mature foldable screen ecosystem. Innovations such as Parallel Vision, Smart Multi-Window, Smart Outer Screen, and Adaptive UI Engine are all pioneering in the industry and have significantly improved the efficiency of using large screens. HUAWEI Mate X6 further taps into the potential of large screens, bringing a more free and convenient split-screen, more powerful gesture operations. After upgrading to the latest native HarmonyOS NEXT operating system, with the support of the Pangu large model, it realizes the powerful AI capabilities at the system level, empowering each subsystem. In particular, the AI Xiaoyi intelligent agent is adapted for the large screen of HUAWEI Mate X6. After being awakened or triggered, it can intelligently recognize the split-screen and answer users' questions or process documents according to the screen content, making the left-right comparison more efficient; the addition of the "Panoramic Multi-Window" function effectively improves the operating efficiency of the large screen, supporting three applications to run simultaneously on the large screen, smoothly switching, allowing users to have video conferences, check information, and chat without any delay. One screen can be used as three screens. There are also interesting themes such as Mood Box, Time and Space Travel, and Air Throw, adding surprises to each opening and closing, showing personality in daily use. HUAWEI Mate X6 innovates the foldable screen experience with innovative interaction and more secure protection.
Huawei's foldable screens are the concentrated embodiment of the advanced productive forces in the industry at this stage, and to a large extent, they shoulder the "glory and dream" of the foldable screen industry. The birth of HUAWEI Mate X6 will further promote the rapid iteration of foldable screen technology. In the future, Huawei will continue to deeply cultivate the field of foldable screens, adhere to technological innovation, promote the progress of industry development and the upgrade of consumer experience, and create a new era for the development of foldable screen phones.
