EDITORIAL: A small miracle of engineering (pun intended), the Mate X7 goes as thin as it can be (if you want to keep the USB-C port): 4.5mm. Huawei fitted a 5600mAh battery that will deliver a full-day endurance (on outer screen). Imaging is excellent as is IP59 (immersible to 2m!) protection but that is where "amazing" ends. OS and lack of Google services remain a problem while processing power shows potential but it's still far behind competing foldable phones.
PROs
excellent build with a hard-to-believe thinness especially when open, <1200nits bright >400ppi 120Hz LTPO OLED screens with HDR Vivid (HDR10+ equivalent) standard, impressive IP59 protection, excellent imaging from a 50MP 24mm variable f1.5-4.0 OIS main + 50MP 84mm OIS periscope telephoto + 40MP 13mm ultrawide (all with PDAF) setup, top selfies from the back cameras cluster, excellent video recording, full featured desktop replacement functionality, fast USB-C 3.2 with Display Port 1.2 and OTG
CONs
low scores on Kirin 9030 Pro with UFS 4.x performance, just a day of endurance from a 5600mAh battery with sub-45min 66W (50W wireless) charging, only 3 years of OS updates, no Google services out of the box (tho you can add most), limited AI integration compared to market leaders, limited availability

EDITORIAL: Perfecting on the Mix Fold 3, Xiaomi added the fastest SD chip, bigger battery, brighter and sharper screens (now they are both LTPO) and water immersion with IPX8. Excellent Leica tuned back cameras are better (the telephoto went up to 50MP) and the phone is now sub-10mm thin bringing a fold phone into a similar size to a regular (non-folding) one. Contrary to common sense, Xiaomi is keeping this phone China-only risking poor sales and this great phone's future.
PROs
amazingly thin, fast Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 with UFS 4.0 performance, >36hr long endurance from a 5100mAh with sub-60min 67W (50W wireless) charging, two >1300nits >415ppi sharp LTPO AMOLED screens both with Dolby Vision, IPX8 protection, excellent 50MP 23mm main + 50MP 47mm telephoto + 10MP 115mm periscope telephoto (all 3 with OIS PDAF) + 12MP 15mm ultrawide, two 16MP non-AF selfies (but you will take selfies with the main camera), fast USB-C 3.2 port with OTG
CONs
inner screen crease and surface are uneven, no dust protection of any level, no AF on ultrawide or selfies, average video recording, no expandable memory, short OS update policy, no desktop replacement feature, China only
