The device made its global debut at a Huawei event in Dubai on December 11, 2025, just weeks after its initial rollout in China. Known for its ultra-slim build and advanced imaging, the Mate X7 aims to set new standards in the premium foldable segment.

Pricing and Availability
The global version comes in a single configuration: 16GB RAM + 512GB storage, priced at €2,099 (approximately $2,445 USD). This positions it as a luxury device, higher than some Chinese variants due to market differences.
Availability starts in select regions like Europe and the Middle East, with no Google Mobile Services natively included – users rely on Huawei’s AppGallery and alternatives.
