Introduction: Redefining the Foldable Paradigm
On January 20, 2026, HUAWEI officially unveiled its latest engineering marvel, the HUAWEI Mate X7, in the Malaysian market. This flagship foldable represents a sophisticated evolution in mobile technology, merging an ultra-slim aesthetic with rugged durability. Designed to serve as a versatile tool for both high-level productivity and immersive entertainment, the Mate X7 addresses the historical compromises of foldable devices. By integrating advanced AI capabilities and a robust hardware foundation, HUAWEI aims to solidify its position at the vanguard of the premium smartphone segment in Southeast Asia.
Architectural Excellence and X-True Display
The hallmark of the HUAWEI Mate X7 is its X-True dual display system, featuring a 6.49-inch outer screen and a magnificent 8-inch internal canvas. Both panels utilize LTPO OLED technology with 1-120 Hz adaptive refresh rates, ensuring fluid transitions whether the device is folded for one-handed navigation or expanded for complex multitasking.
Constructed with the Ultra-Reliable Foldable Architecture, the device employs Crystal Armour Kunlun Glass and an Advanced Precision Hinge. This structural integrity is further validated by its IP58 and IP59 ratings, providing unprecedented resistance against dust and high-pressure water jets. Despite its expansive interior, the handset maintains a remarkably thin profile of just 4.5mm when unfolded, weighing approximately 236g.
XMAGE Imaging and AI Integration
Photography remains a primary focus, with the Mate X7 debuting a True-to-Colour Camera system. The triple-lens array consists of:
- 50MP Ultra Lighting HDR Main Camera (F1.49~F4.0 variable aperture)
- 50MP Telephoto Macro Lens (3.5x optical zoom)
- 40MP Ultra-Wide Angle Lens
The inclusion of the Kirin 9030 Pro chipset enables sophisticated AI features such as AI Remove for photo editing and real-time Face-to-Face Translation. These intelligent utilities are powered by a high-density 5,600mAh silicon-carbon battery, supporting 66W wired and 50W wireless SuperCharge to maintain operational continuity throughout the most demanding schedules.
A Growing Ecosystem: Wearables and Audio
Simultaneous with the Mate X7 launch, HUAWEI introduced several ecosystem additions. The HUAWEI FreeClip 2, priced at RM699 after a limited-time rebate, features an Airy C-Bridge design for all-day open-ear comfort.
For the luxury segment, the HUAWEI WATCH ULTIMATE Design Royal Gold Edition makes its debut at RM13,999, featuring 18K gold elements and 150m diving technology.
Additionally, the WATCH GT 6 series sees a new collaboration with Japanese golf brand HONMA, catering to specialized athletic performance and contemporary style.

The HUAWEI Mate X7 is available for pre-order starting January 20, 2026, at RM8,688 (16GB RAM + 512GB storage). Consumers can secure the device via the HUAWEI Official Website, Shopee, Lazada, and TikTok Shop. Early adopters are entitled to a massive reward package valued at RM7,597, which includes:
