Introduction
Huawei has once again proven its dominance in the foldable smartphone market within China. The company’s latest offering, the Huawei Mate 60 Pro, has taken the crown yet again for Q4 2024, outperforming all other competitors including its sister brand Honor with their new P70 Ultra model. Despite ongoing challenges, Huawei continues to innovate and lead in this high-end market segment.
Huawei Mate 60 Pro: A Stalwart in the Foldable Market
The Huawei Mate 60 Pro has been a consistent performer since its launch earlier in November 2024, solidifying its position as one of the leading foldables in China. Equipped with a powerful Kirin 9000s chipset and running HarmonyOS 5.0.1.120, this device not only boasts exceptional performance but also offers superior multimedia features such as a stunning 6.8-inch Dynamic AMOLED display paired with a dual rear camera system featuring a 50MP primary sensor.
One of the standout features of the Mate 60 Pro is its advanced battery technology, providing users with up to two days of usage on a single charge thanks to its robust 5000mAh battery. Additionally, it supports both WiFi 7 and Bluetooth 5.3 for seamless connectivity experiences.
Honor P70 Ultra: A Strong Contender in the Foldable Race
Hot on Huawei’s heels is Honor with their recently launched P70 Ultra. This device presents a compelling alternative for those seeking high-end features at more competitive price points. Available from Q4 2025 onwards, the P70 Ultra comes equipped with an equally impressive Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset and HarmonyOS 4.2.
Similar to its rival from Huawei, the P70 Ultra packs a punch in terms of design and functionality. It features a versatile 6.8-inch AMOLED display that rivals those found on more expensive models while offering up to 128GB of storage space for users who need plenty of room for their media and applications.
Both the Mate 60 Pro and P70 Ultra are available in various configurations, catering to different user needs. The Huawei model can be purchased starting at ¥4999, while the Honor variant will debut with a slightly lower entry point, priced from €799.
Conclusion
The foldable smartphone market remains fiercely competitive in China, but it’s clear that Huawei continues to set the pace. With each new release like the Mate 60 Pro and the strong performance of their sister brand Honor with models such as the P70 Ultra, these brands are not only pushing the boundaries of what a foldable phone can do but also driving innovation in technology and design.
As we move into Q4 2025, it will be fascinating to see how both companies continue to evolve their offerings and whether they maintain or expand upon this leadership position in an increasingly crowded market.
