February 8, 2025

According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, the iPhone SE 4 or the iPhone SE 2025 will launch next week or in the coming days.

Since this is just a small product for Apple unlike the bigger iPhone 16 brothers, the iPhone SE 4 will just launch without a dedicated event and the best part is that it will have a starting price of only $499.

According to Gurman, the stocks of the almost 3-year old iPhone SE 2022 has been limited for a quite while now and it looks like it is due for a replacement pretty soon.

The iPhone SE 4 or the iPhone SE 2025 is expected to come with a design similar to the iPhone 14. It is expected to come with a 6.1-inch OLED display with a notch and also an Apple A18 chipset inside with 48MP main camera. Apple Intelligence is also expected in this smartphone.

We can also expected a USB-C port on this one just like the other iPhones in the market right now.

HUAWEI Mate X6 redefines foldable durability with industry-leading design

February 4, 2025

The HUAWEI Mate X6 is setting a new standard for foldable smartphone durability and performance, addressing long-standing challenges that have limited foldable devices in the past.

With a refined hinge system, reinforced materials, and an ultra-durable display, the Mate X6 offers a premium, long-lasting experience without compromising on style or usability. Now available in the Philippines for Php114,999, the Mate X6 is a perfect blend of cutting-edge technology, reliability, and sleek design.

A Stronger and More Reliable Hinge

One of the biggest concerns with foldable phones is hinge durability, as many users worry about creaks, stiffness, or long-term wear. However, HUAWEI has solved this with an advanced hinge system made from 1900MPa ultra-high-strength steel, which is 27% stronger than its predecessor. This hinge is not only more durable but also sleeker, reducing thickness by 12% when folded and 14% when unfolded. The result is a compact yet incredibly sturdy foldable phone that remains smooth and effortless to use, no matter how often it is opened or closed.

A Foldable Screen That Stays Flawless Over Time

The HUAWEI Mate X6’s inner screen is also built for durability, not just display quality. It features an innovative composite laminated structure with a carbon fiber support layer, providing 380GPa deformation resistance, making it one of the toughest foldable screens available. With 65% increased material stiffness, the display remains crease-free even after extended use. Whether used for streaming, gaming, or productivity, the screen retains a flawless appearance, delivering a smooth and immersive viewing experience every time the phone is unfolded.

Stronger Build, Improved Drop Resistance

Durability goes beyond the hinge and display. The aviation-grade aluminum middle frame enhances the phone’s compression and bending resistance by 37%, ensuring it can withstand pressure from daily use. HUAWEI has also upgraded the outer screen with 2nd Generation Kunlun Glass, significantly improving drop resistance. Moreover, this new glass formulation makes the Mate X6 25 times more resistant to accidental drops, reducing the risk of cracks and deformations. With these reinforcements, the Mate X6 also provides peace of mind, allowing users to confidently carry and use their device without worrying about accidental damage.

Water Resistance and Advanced Cooling System

The Mate X6 is not only tough but also designed to withstand various environmental conditions. With an IPX8 water resistance rating, the phone can be submerged in up to two meters of water, making it one of the most resilient foldable devices on the market. To complement its durability, HUAWEI has integrated an advanced cooling system that includes graphene film, a 3D VC heat spreader, and Ultra-High Thermal Conductivity Graphene. This system helps regulate the phone’s temperature, preventing overheating during gaming, video calls, or heavy multitasking, ensuring smooth performance even under demanding conditions.

Now Available in the Philippines with Exclusive Launch Offers

The HUAWEI Mate X6 is now available for Php114,999 and comes in Nebula Red and Black. It can be purchased through Shopee, Lazada, TikTok, the HUAWEI Online Store, and HUAWEI Experience Stores nationwide. As part of its launch promo, buyers who purchase the Mate X6 from January 31 to February 28, 2025, will receive a free HUAWEI WATCH GT 4, a DJI NEO, a Php10,000 trade-in token, and a one-year Accidental Damage Protection service.
