We don’t want to sound dramatic… but if you’re still using a regular phone in 2025, we have questions. Life is hard enough. Why are you voluntarily choosing less screen, less multitasking, and more squinting? We’re not saying the HUAWEI Mate X6 will change your life, but also, we’re not not saying that.
Here are five completely serious (okay, slightly unserious) reasons why a foldable might just be the most underrated essential in your life.
1. Your eyeballs deserve better
Be honest. You’ve tried to watch a rugby match on your phone, lying sideways, brightness cranked up, trying to make out the score while the sun turns your screen into a mirror. You’ve scrolled TikTok until your eyelashes hurt. You’ve attempted a Netflix episode on a phone the size of a Bar One wrapper.
Enough is enough. The HUAWEI Mate X6 folds out into a 7.93-inch OLED display that makes you feel like you’ve unpacked a tablet from your pocket. It’s brighter than your future (up to 2500 nits), and yes, you can actually see things properly. Your eyeballs thank you.
2. Your laptop is judging you
If you’ve ever said, “I’ll do it when I get to my laptop,” we see you. You open your bag and pull out the charger, the dongle, the external mouse… and suddenly you’re running IT support on your own life. The Mate X6 lets you unfold a workspace, run three apps at once, edit a Canva design, and fire off an email without hearing your fan groan under pressure.
And no, you don’t need a load-shedding schedule to tell you it’s better to work from something that’s actually charged or whose battery actually lasts.
3. You deserve a phone that claps back
We’re not saying personality is everything, but if your phone has all the charm of a brick, it might be time for an upgrade. The HUAWEI Mate X6 has an Emoji Crush lock screen that reacts to your mood. Shake it, tap it, tilt it, and the emojis respond like they’ve been following your WhatsApp statuses.
It’s the little things that spark joy, right? Besides, it’s about time your phone started matching your mojo. Or if you have no mojo, then let your phone help you crank up that personality.
4. It folds. That’s the whole point.
There’s something inherently cool about watching jaws drop when you casually unfold your phone mid-conversation like it’s a plot twist. It’s smooth. It’s satisfying. It’s giving “main character energy.” You’re now BOSS.
Plus, it fits in your jeans pocket when you’re out for dinner (ok maybe not the ones with fake front pockets), and when it’s open, it becomes the screen you didn’t realise you needed for spreadsheets, memes, and checking out your ex’s new bae on Instagram with alarming clarity. Also, why do you have jeans with fake pockets?
5. You’re a grown-up now. Act like it.
You’ve upgraded your car. You pay your TV licence (sometimes). You even have matching cutlery now. But you’re still rocking that cracked-screen phone from when your cousin borrowed it to film the ice-bucket challenge in the garden?
Do yourself a favour. The HUAWEI Mate X6 doesn’t just look sleek, it feels like you’ve got your life together. Even if you’re still figuring it out. Which, honestly, we all are. And that ice bucket challenge was so last decade.
So, should you get a foldable? We can’t tell you what to do. But if you’re reading this on a tiny screen, while hunched over and juggling two apps, maybe the answer is already in your hands. Just imagine it… folded. Then unfolded. Then upgraded. And in a real pocket.
