Weekly poll results: the Huawei Mate X6 has two major issues and neither are Huawei’s fault | Infinium-tech
We’re back to our regularly scheduled programming and it’s time to find out how the Huawei Mate X6 fared in the polls. Well, the results are in and they are a mix of good and bad. The sad thing is that not all the negative things are Huawei’s fault.
The Huawei Mate X6 has great hardware, better than most horizontal foldables. However, Huawei is cut off from the Google Play ecosystem – meaning the X6 isn’t a viable option for many outside China. Some people may be tempted by great hardware and adopt a de-Google lifestyle. Mostly excellent.
Not only are Google services out of reach for Huawei, the company also can’t afford today’s cutting-edge chipsets. This slows down the performance of the phone.
There are other factors to consider too – modern flagship foldables are expensive and the X6 costs €2,000, which is enough to scare off many potential buyers.
We published our Huawei Mate X6 review a few days ago. The phone impressed with its slim, high-quality frame, excellent cameras and great screen. However, we came to the same conclusion – the app store and chipset limitations make it hard to justify the high price.
