Foldable phones have always been an outcry. The Huawei Mate X7 is no different. Released in Jun 2026 in Bangladesh, it arrives as Huawei's most refined foldable yet,  thinner, tougher, and with a camera system that challenges flagship slab phones on their own terms. However, if you're looking for a phone that truly excels in every facet, the Mate X7 is worth considering. 

An In-Depth Review on Huawei Mate X7

The Huawei Mate X7 is a high-end foldable flagship phone with the potential to offer state-of-the-art technology, high performance, and an all-round productivity experience. The smartphone's primary feature will be its large foldable OLED display, along with flagship-quality hardware, cutting-edge camera capabilities and rapid charging capabilities.

The Mate X7 is designed to appeal to those who wish to experience both the smartphone and tablet capabilities in a single hand-held device, with its stylish design and advanced software functionality. In this review, we will discuss its design, performance, camera performance, battery backup, price in Bangladesh and value in the high-end foldable category.

Box Content

This is what you get inside the Huawei Mate X7 box:

• Huawei Mate X7 Smartphone
• 66W Charger
• USB Type-C cable
• Silicone case
• User manual

The box comes with the Mate X7, a 66W supercharge adapter, a USB-C charging cable, a standard documentation and a protective case. The 66W charger included in the box is a nice addition, most of its competitors have given up on shipping one. When you open the box, everything is ready to go and in order.

Design & Build Quality

The Mate X7 looks exactly as it feels when unfolded, and Huawei clearly has taken time to think about how the phone should feel, rather than just how it should look.

Rigid, confidence-inspiring aerospace-grade aluminum frame. International units: back is finished in eco-leather; soft, warm and really nice to hold for a long time. It is not a light device, at 9.5mm thick after folding and 235g, but for the contents, 2 screens, a large battery and a very sophisticated camera system, it does not disappoint.

A point should be mentioned about the hinge mechanism. Smooth, accurate and wobble-free. It opens completely flat and the crease on the inner display surface is virtually invisible, only noticeable if you're looking for it and not using the phone.

The colour options come in a variety of hues, including options such as Black, White, Purple, Blue and Red, which are bolder than most flagships can imagine. It's not just the waterproof rated to 2 metres for 30 minutes that's impressive on a foldable phone, the IP58/IP59 dual certification (water resistant to 2 metres for 30 minutes, and high-pressure water jet resistant) is an outstanding engineering feat for a phone that folds in half. The majority of the foldables are completely waterproof.

When it's folded, it measures 156.8mm tall and 73.8mm wide, so it fits into a pocket without a hitch. This is a foldable that has truly addressed the “everyday carry” challenge.

Display

Two screens. Both excellent. The highlight of the phone is the inner 8-inch foldable LTPO OLED which comes with 2210x2416 resolution, 409ppi, 120Hz refresh rate, and HDR Vivid support. Unlocked, it provides a fully immersive experience when reading, editing content or playing videos or multi-screen applications. It is very comfortable in most lighting situations at 2,500 nits peak brightness.

Mate X7 shines above all the other foldables in the cover screen feature. The 6.49-inch LTPO OLED panel supports 1080x2444 resolution, 120Hz refresh rate and a maximum brightness of 3,000 nits, supported by Kunlun Glass 2. This isn't a cramped secondary screen you reluctantly use, it's a screen that does it all and doesn't require any deployment. The cover screen naturally supports camera, messaging and navigation and social media functions.

Both panels are the same as one another and use LTPO intelligence to dynamically adjust refresh rate throughout the day to optimize performance and conserve battery.

Camera

The camera on the Mate X7 is the best ever on a foldable phone which isn't some empty boast. The company's triple-lens design here doesn't require you to sacrifice anything due to the phone's foldability.

Its rear camera module has been revamped to the "Time Space Portal": it has three lenses. A 50MP primary sensor, a 50MP periscope telephoto and a 40MP ultra-wide. OIS is available in the main and telephoto lenses. The three cameras are all 4K video cameras. The lineup on paper is outstanding. It largely lives up to the expectations in practice.

Daylight Photo:

As long as there's good lighting the Mate X7 is just superb. The main sensor is a 50MP sensor (1/1.28″, variable aperture: f/1.4-f/4.0), which delivers impressive images with incredible details, natural colour rendering and top-class dynamic range. Huawei is claiming that the dynamic range is 100 percent better than the Mate X6, and in the day-world, that's no exaggeration. As many flagship cameras are still having trouble with keeping skies with cloud detail and foregrounds properly exposed, the new camera does not have that issue.

Low-Light Photo:

Here things get tricky. The main camera performs well in low-light scenes, the large 1/1.28-inch sensor and f1.4 maximum aperture gathers much more light than its rivals on the foldable front and night scenes at 1X and 2X zoom reveal noticeable improvement in fine detail and texture when compared to the Mate X6. Shadow areas maintain details, control over highlights is good, and there is no artificial "over brightened" effect often found in night modes.

The colours are true-to-life and accurate, not saturated, punchy, as per Huawei's philosophy of 'XMAGE'. All the architecture, street scenes and landscapes appear natural. In particular, skin tones in portraiture are captured extremely well as the variable f-stop adapts to the light and closes to f/4.0 to keep fine detail intact throughout the entire shot.

The 50MP telephoto with a native zoom of 3.5x is a very real improvement over the Mate X6's 40MP telephoto at 3.5x. Daytime zooms are clear and crisp and consistent in colour with the main lens. The 100x digital zoom is available at a moderate distance, while for travel, architecture or event photography, it is difficult to beat at any foldable device. The 40MP ultra-wide is capable of capturing wide shots without any off-canvas distortion, and maintains consistent edge-to-edge sharpness and colour along with the other two lenses.

The Mate X7's only weakness is the telephoto lens in low-light conditions. This f/2.2 is the widest aperture on any foldable telephoto, a feat of engineering, but physics still applies! Noise reduction starts to be aggressive at 3.5x and higher in low light, and there may be some smoothing over of fine detail at higher magnifications. This almost reads like it was written by an AI at worst, reviewers have said. It's a design restriction that you can appreciate with the thin foldable body and a zoom optic and it's something you should be aware of before purchasing.

The inner display 8MP camera at f/2.2 and 8MP camera on the cover screen at f/2.4 deliver crisp, natural-color selfies in a variety of lighting situations. Colors in the skin tones are treated well and the extensive lens allows for less crowded group selfies. The standout feature is that you can use the rear camera in combination with the cover screen as a viewfinder, which results in much better selfie quality than any front camera could achieve, and is always a game-changer for better selfies.

Video recording is capped at 4K 60fps on all rear cameras, 4K 30fps on both front cameras, which is pretty darn awesome for 8MP imagers. Always-on stabilisation is effective in keeping footage smooth and stable even when moving. Switching between different lenses during the shot is smooth and colours and exposures remain consistent from cut to cut. The video HDR, slow-motion at 960fps and the gyro-EIS are all included. With controlled noise and stable exposure, night video on the main camera isn't affected by the loss of 1GB of storage for the photos. Video under telephoto, usable but not the phone's prime, is similarly limited.

Performance & Software

The Mate X7 is powered by the Kirin 9030 Pro 9-core chipset which is manufactured using a 5nm process, along with Maleoon 935 GPU and 16GB of RAM. The phone deals with all the issues thrown at it with aplomb on a day-to-day basis. App Switching and multitasking on the large inner screen, photography, browsing etc smooth and responsive.

Where reviewers have indicated any limitations, they are in relation to sustained heavy workloads. The exporting of long-form video seems to be a little slower than expected, and benchmark results indicate that Kirin is losing the raw CPU performance to the rival foldables running Snapdragon. Those limitations will never come into play for the majority of people in Bangladesh who are using this phone for photography, productivity and communication. They are worth being known by video editors or heavy gamers.

The software experience is pretty clean, optimized for the foldable format, and actually well thought out when it comes to the goliath inner screen for split screen and multi-window operations.

Battery & Charging

The 5,600mAh battery is quite large in itself, but it should be enough for a full day's worth of heavy use with the 8-inch display. The battery life reviewers noted it as good (but not great) with 1 or more days of normal use, though the heavy use of camera and screen might bring that time a bit closer to evening.

The 66W wired charging can provide full battery when in use, and the 50W wireless charging is one of the fastest charging among all foldable mobile phones in the world. There's a 7.5W reverse wireless charging capability for accessories. A detail that is appreciated at this price point is the fact that the 66W charger comes in the box.

Huawei Mate X7 Price in Bangladesh

he Huawei Mate X7 price in Bangladesh is ৳2,49,999 for the 16GB Ram and 256GB storage configuration. This puts it high on the local market, and, to say the obvious, a high price for a phone that's not leading its category. It's a foldable design, a camera system, build quality, and the dual-screen. 

Final Word

The Huawei Mate X7 is regarded as the most capable foldable phone that Huawei has ever produced, and it's quite likely the best camera foldable that's on the market in 2025. The dual screens are great, build quality is superb and the photography is truly amazing. At this price, real limitations of the Kirin chip as well as the lack of Google services need to be taken into account. However, if you prefer a foldable phone and are primarily focused on the camera, no current device on the market can compare to the Mate X7.
