Style, strengths and smarts in one device with the Huawei Mate X6
Whether you're moving between meetings, meetups, or midweek breaks, the HUAWEI Mate X6 adapts to your day with style and substance. Lightweight, resilient, and elegantly designed, this device proves you don't have to choose between sleek design and serious performance.
Design that feels as good as it looks
The Mate X6 is more than a piece of technology; it really is a statement. Everything about it has been crafted to feel timeless and premium, from its star-inspired Orbit Ring camera housing to its tactile finishes. The Nebula Grey edition features a shimmering Micro-Nano 3D Topography finish made from Vegan Fibre, derived from aerospace-grade glass fibre and bulletproof vest fibres.
It's durable, lightweight and silky-smooth to the touch. For those who prefer something classic, the Black and Nebula Red options feature ultra-thin soft leather that feels as luxurious as it looks.
Despite housing dual OLED displays, an advanced hinge, and a powerful camera system, the HUAWEI Mate X6 remains impressively slim. Folded, it's just 9.85mm thick, sliding easily into a clutch, suit pocket or shoulder bag. Unfolded, it becomes a 7.93-inch canvas that brings your content, creativity, and conversations to life.
Smart enough to handle your whole day
From voice notes and video calls to emails, socials, and shopping, our days are powered by our smartphones. That's why Huawei built the HUAWEI Mate X6 to do more and look good doing it. When unfolded, the generous screen gives you space to multitask like a pro. Run three apps at once, switch between them with a swipe, and expand one without losing your place in the others. It's the digital equivalent of having your wardrobe, diary, and best friend all in the same room.
Need to book a weekend getaway? You can chat with friends, browse hotels, and book flights on one screen. Planning a party? Create a mood board, check social trends and send invites, all without opening a laptop. With EMUI 15, everything is smooth, intuitive, and delightfully fun. One of the more playful touches is the Emoji Crush lock screen, where 3D emojis react to your actions and bring a little joy to your day.
Cameras and screens that get the colours right
Of course, a lifestyle device isn't complete without a camera that can capture it all, and here, the HUAWEI Mate X6 shines. The Ultra Chroma Camera system includes 1.5 million spectral channels, enhancing colour accuracy by 120%. That means true-to-life tones, from the glow of sunset cocktails to the detail in your favourite outfit. It's flattering, fast, and reliable.
The telephoto macro lens lets you shoot everything from wide-open landscapes to intricate jewellery details without changing a single setting. And if you're someone who loves taking control, the 50MP main camera offers ten adjustable aperture sizes, giving you creative freedom to perfect the mood of every image.
Both the 6.45-inch exterior and 7.93-inch internal screens are OLED displays, delivering vivid colour and clarity in any environment. The external screen reaches 2500 nits of brightness, perfect for scrolling outdoors, while the internal screen peaks at 1800 nits for immersive viewing indoors. Adaptive refresh rates from 1Hz to 120Hz ensure every swipe feels silky-smooth, and your battery lasts longer.
The foldable that fits your life and style
The HUAWEI Mate X6 is more than a phone. It's a fashion-forward, function-rich companion designed for people who want their tech to work as beautifully as it looks. With its clever engineering and eye-catching design, it's proof that performance and polish can live in the same device.

Sony's pocket-sized RX1R camera returns with its first update in 10 years
After nearly a decade, Sony has announced a new version of its fixed-lens compact RX1R camera that was last updated in 2015. The new third generation RX1R III arrives with the same 35mm full-frame Exmor R sensor as its predecessor, but with a bump from 42.4 to 61 megapixels. It also benefits from Sony's latest Bionz XR and AI image processors to deliver better autofocus that can track the movement of human bodies and more accurately focus on their heads and eyes. The RX1R III will be available sometime in July for approximately $5,099.99, according to Sony. That's considerably more expensive than the RX1R II, which launched in 2015 for $3,300. The RX1R III's compact size and Zeiss Sonnar T 35mm F2 lens puts the camera in competition with the $4,899.95 medium format Fujifilm GFX100RF and the $5,995 full-frame Leica Q3 – both of which also feature fixed lenses. To compensate for that lens limitation, the RX1R III includes a Step Crop Shooting function that allows photographers to switch between 35mm, 50mm, and 70mm focal lengths achieved through sensor cropping. The camera also features a macro mode activated by a ring on the lens that can be used to focus on subjects as close as 20cm. The camera has a body made of magnesium alloy. To help make the RX1R III as light and portable as possible, Sony is now using a fixed screen on the back that can no longer be tilted up and down. The change means you may find yourself having to contort your body when trying to capture low-angle shots using the camera's screen or 2.36 million dot OLED electronic view finder. Sony is once again positioning this camera as a high quality shooter that's far less cumbersome to carry than larger mirrorless options or DSLRs, and its performance reflects that. Shooting speeds max out at just five frames per second, and the RX1R III can capture 4K video at 30 fps or 1080p at up to 120 fps (the RX1R II maxed out at 1080p) with the option to use Sony's S-Cinetone picture profile for a more cinematic look. The RX1R III also includes 12 different quick access Creative Looks that can be customized and applied to both stills and video. And like the Sony A7R V, its autofocus system features 693 phase-detection points and is capable of tracking human motion to determine where a subject's eyes are supposed to be, even if they're not looking directly at the camera or their face is obscured. It seems like a worthwhile upgrade over the last generation, but if you don't mind a bit more bulk, there are more capable and affordable alternatives from Sony.

Prices are rising again. Here's what just got more expensive
American's weekly grocery haul and monthly electric bill may get more expensive thanks to last month's rising inflation rates, as Trump's tariffs and a volatile consumer market comes to a head. The end of June marked an additional .3% rise in the consumer price index (CPI) from May alone, adding to the 2.4% uptick in inflation that has occurred since May 2024. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics data, the rise is reflective of all consumer items, but the areas that saw the biggest rises over the past year were shelter at an increase of 3.8% and utility gas services at 14.2% from the past year. Food and energy, which includes gas and fuel oil, saw rates rising .3% and .9% respectively over the past month. Whereas over the past year, food saw a 3% increase alone in inflated cost, and energy saw a slight .8% decrease (the sharpest uptick in four months). Energy services, which would reflect electric and utility bills, saw a 7.5% increase over the same period. Tariff ignited inflation The rising rates come as Trump's 90-day tariff pause was supposed to end this week, with notable tariffs being placed on major import countries including 25% on Japan and Korea, with Laos and Myanmar being given the highest rate at 40%. Most of which were introduced by Trump's 'tariff letters' and were given an August 1, 2025 deadline. The ban notably did not pause tariffs placed on America's biggest importer, China. The country has a current minimum 30% rate on most imported goods including technology and clothes, that seems to change by the day per the two countries' ongoing negotiations. Another slew of high-tariffs were introduced over the past week for other high import countries for the U.S. including a 50% tariff on Brazil, 35% on Canada, and 35% on the European Union. There is currently a 10% base-line tariff on any and all goods entering the U.S. market. What 'taking back economic sovereignty' may cost consumers Economists expect rising prices to continue into the summer and the rest of the year, due to the quick and staggered nature of the tariffs. What they call a 'price creep' won't be sudden, but will steadily show in consumer goods and costs during these next few months. However, what the White House's fact sheet calls a 'commitment to take back America's economic sovereignty by addressing many nonreciprocal trade relationships that threaten our economic and national security,' others worry about basic goods and necessities. Items that notably saw a rise in CPI over the past month include: Fruits and vegetables (.9% increase) Coffee (2.2% increase) Apparel (.4% increase) Rent (.2% increase) Prescription drugs (.4% increase) Items that notably saw a rise in CPI over the past year include: Eggs (27.3% increase) Shelter (3.8% increase) Electricity (5.8% increase) Natural gas (14.2% increase) Household furnishings (3.3% increase) With the Federal Reserve's target inflation rate being 2%, investors suggest that they won't likely be cutting their 'higher than usual' federal rates (currently around 4.5%), anytime this month.

What CFOs Need To Know About Policy Changes In Trump's Tax Law
What's bigger than 97% of global economies, total defense spending around the world, and the entire cryptocurrency market? AI chip company Nvidia, writes Forbes' Derek Saul. Last week, the company's valuation hit $4 trillion—it's the first firm to cross that milestone. Nvidia's stock has taken off in the last few years, with its valuation just hitting the $1 trillion mark in 2023. Nvidia owns a whopping 92% of the market for datacenter GPU chips, according to an IoT Analytics report published in January. The company's stock kept on climbing Tuesday morning, hitting a record high with a more than 4% spike after the company said the Trump Administration reversed its decision to ban exports of Nvidia's H20 chip to China. Sale of the chips, which were designed specifically for the Chinese market and had been a top seller for Nvidia, were banned in April. But this growth is about much more than Nvidia, writes Forbes contributor Steven Wolfe Pereira. After all, Nvidia is a hardware company. Investing in hardware is an important first step to developing better and more impactful AI systems, but everything in AI is built on top of it. Nvidia's growth shows that right now is the best time for companies in all industries to dig into their AI development strategies. Companies should look at how their AI capabilities are progressing compared to competitors, work toward AI solutions for your processes, and determine how AI can be used to reshape what you do. After all, Wolfe Pereira writes, the change AI will bring to business is just beginning, and the IDC predicted it will drive an economic transformation worth nearly $20 trillion by 2030. This is the published version of Forbes' CFO newsletter, which offers the latest news for chief finance officers and other leaders focused on the budget.

Container ships docked at the Port of Oakland in Oakland, inflation has stayed lower than expected for the last several months, it's beginning to tick upward. Consumer prices were up 2.7% in June, according to federal government figures released on Tuesday, a month-over-month increase of 0.3%, and a tenth of a percentage point more than economists' predictions. Many of Trump's new tariffs have not yet been enacted and companies and consumers haven't felt their impact, though an analysis released last week by Yale University found that the new import taxes could increase costs for households by about $2,400. UBS analysts project that tariffs could push inflation to 3.9% by the end of the year, but given the uncertainty and volatility around tariff amounts and effective dates, it's been difficult to assess. However, a Reuters/Ipsos survey in late April found that close to nine in 10 consumers are concerned about inflation this year. There's been more tariff-related turmoil in the last week, with the Trump Administration announcing several new effective dates and rates. Rather than starting last week as was previously announced, the bulk of the tariffs have been pushed to start August 1. And Trump says he's increasing the baseline tariff rate on all nations to 15% to 20%, up from 10%. Tariffs announced on specific countries include a 35% rate on Canada, 30% on the EU and Mexico, 25% on South Korea and Japan, and 50% on Brazil because of the country's ongoing prosecution of former leader Jair Bolsonaro, which Trump called an 'international disgrace.' In the last week, Trump also has floated a potential 200% tariff on pharmaceuticals, a 50% tariff on copper and additional 10% tariffs on BRICS nations, which Trump said is an 'Anti-American' bloc. Foreign leaders denounced the tariff announcements as irresponsible and based on inaccurate information, but many have said they will try to continue negotiating. And even though notes from last month's meeting of the Federal Reserve's Open Market Committee indicated that many on staff feel an interest rate cut is likely to come later this year, the Trump Administration is already starting the formal procedure to replace Fed Chair Jerome Powell, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent told Bloomberg. Trump has repeatedly—and unsuccessfully—demanded rate cuts from Powell since his inauguration, sometimes with insulting social media posts. Powell's term leading the Fed is set to expire next May. BIG DEALS Several Kellogg cereals on a grocery store shelf. Lindsey Nicholson/UCG/Universal Images Group via Getty Images Italian candy maker Ferrero is continuing its mammoth M&A streak, announcing last week its plans to buy famed U.S. cereal maker WK Kellogg for $3.1 billion. WK Kellogg was formed in 2023 when Kellogg split, and includes the company's North American cereal brands. If the deal is approved by investors and regulators, the iconic cereal company would be the largest in a string of at least 21 global acquisitions for Ferrero under Executive Chairman Giovanni Ferrero in the last decade. Forbes' Giocomo Tognini writes that Giovanni Ferrero, who owns more than 75% of the global food giant, has led the company in more than $13 billion worth of acquisitions. This deal, Ferrero's second acquisition of brands that once belonged to the larger Kellogg company (the first was the $1.3 billion purchase of its cookie and fruit snack brands in 2019), could increase Ferrero's annual revenues by 10%. DEEP DIVE What Trump's New Taxation And Policy Law Means For Your Business President Donald Trump shows his signature on the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" at the White House on July 4. BRENDAN SMIALOWSKI/POOL/AFP via Getty Images On July 4, Trump's signature budget proposal, dubbed the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, was signed into law. It's mainly a collection of taxation and financial policies, and could have big implications for businesses. It also happens to be 887 pages long, so there's a lot to digest. Forbes' Kelly Phillips Erb delves into some of the benefits that businesses will see under the bill. The 2017 corporate tax cuts from Trump's first administration were already permanent, so the bill did not need to extend them. However, the new law makes the 20% pass-through deduction for LLCs and S-corporations permanent. It also continues tax exclusions for earnings on the sale of 'qualified small business stock' based on the date it was purchased, and brings back 100% deductions on asset depreciation. Forbes contributor Nathan Goldman also highlights how the new law will impact corporate taxation. Businesses can now immediately expense domestic R&D costs, which is retroactive to December 31, 2021, when this benefit last expired. International R&D costs will still be subject to the current amortization rules. The law also brings back Trump's first-term opportunity zones—areas that will bring significant tax deductions if businesses are located there. Under the new law, a third of all opportunity zones must be in rural areas, but the tax incentive is increased to 30% exclusions of deferred gains—up from 10% in the previous administration. The new law also significantly increases the tax credit for businesses to build an on-site child care facility or contract with a qualified provider, writes Forbes ' Danielle Chemtob. Businesses can now offset 40% of qualified child care expenditures up to $500,000, or 50% up to $600,000 in the case of small businesses. The benefit, which used to be 25% of expenses with a maximum of $150,000 annually, was rarely used.
