Just weeks after its China debut, Huawei has launched the Mate X7 for global markets. The foldable arrives in three colors, packs a refreshed camera setup and a larger display, and targets users who want a premium, durable foldable without compromise.
Design and durability: built for everyday use
Huawei kept the Mate X7’s signature foldable silhouette but beefed up protection. The device is offered in White, Black and Nebula Red, and carries dual ingress protection ratings (IP58 and IP59), making it more resistant to dust and moisture than many rivals. The cover screen uses Crystal Armour Kunlun glass, while the folding panel now features a three-layer composite with a new protective layer and an updated UTG glass layer for added resilience.

Bigger, smoother displays for multitasking
Screen sizes have ticked up: a 6.49-inch cover display with a 20.4:9 aspect ratio and an 8-inch main display with an 8:7.3 ratio. Both panels are LTPO OLEDs that shift between 1Hz and 120Hz to balance battery life and smoothness, and they support 1,440Hz high-frequency PWM dimming for low-brightness comfort. The result is a large, flexible canvas that’s easier on the eyes whether you’re scrolling, gaming, or working across apps.
Performance: Kirin 9030 Pro and balanced hardware
Under the hood sits Huawei’s Kirin 9030 Pro chipset paired with a single memory configuration of 16GB RAM and 512GB storage. That trim is aimed at power users who run heavy multitasking workflows and expect consistent performance from a flagship foldable.
Camera upgrades that matter
The Mate X7 brings notable camera improvements. The rear array centers on a 50MP main sensor using RYYB color filtering, a 10-stop physical variable aperture (f/1.4–4.0) and optical image stabilization (OIS). A 50MP telephoto lens replaces the older module, offering a wider f/2.2 aperture and 3.5x optical zoom, while a 40MP ultrawide completes the trio. Selfie duties are handled by two 8MP sensors — one on the cover display and one on the inner screen — making video calls and vlogging flexible whether folded or open.

Battery and charging: faster top-ups
Huawei equipped the Mate X7 with a 5,600mAh Si-C battery and supports 66W wired charging as well as 50W wireless charging. That combination aims to reduce downtime and keep the large folding screen running through a busy day.
Price and availability: what to expect
The global Mate X7 ships in a single 16/512GB configuration and carries a €2,099 price tag. Availability is rolling out now in international markets; color choices include White, Black and Nebula Red.
If you’re weighing foldable options, the Mate X7 pushes reliability and camera versatility forward. It’s a clear statement from Huawei that the brand intends to compete at the top end of the foldable market with refined hardware and improved durability.
