Does the Huawei Mate X6 support the Google Play Store?

No, the device lacks Google Mobile Services (GMS). Apps can be downloaded from Huawei AppGallery or by using tools like GBox to run Google apps.

How durable is the Mate X6's foldable screen?

The screen is tested to withstand up to 300,000 folds. In daily use, this means about 5-6 years of worry-free use, assuming the screen is not damaged by sharp objects.

Is the Mate X6 waterproof?

Yes, the device has an IPX8 rating, meaning it can withstand submersion in fresh water up to 1.5 meters for 30 minutes. However, it is not designed for swimming or saltwater.

What is the battery life of the Mate X6 compared to regular phones?

Thanks to its 5060 mAh silicon-carbon battery, it lasts about a day, similar to other flagship phones. Continuous use of the inner screen will drain the battery significantly faster.

Does the Mate X6 support satellite communication in Europe?

The Mate X6 hardware supports Beidou satellite messaging, but this service is currently limited mainly to the China region and requires a corresponding operator contract.

Is the crease in the middle of the screen visible?

Huawei uses a new type of hinge that makes the crease almost invisible when viewed directly. However, it is slightly noticeable at certain angles and when the screen is off.
