Value Score: Mate X6 51 · Aquos R9 Pro 54 — methodology
The lifespan decider
When specs are close, support length decides it — this is what each phone costs per month of safe use.
Category by category
The Mate X6's screen is the better one — 7.93-inch foldable ltpo oled main (2440x2240, 120hz) + 6.45-inch ltpo oled cover (120hz).
Performance is a wash — same chip tier.
Camera systems are comparable on paper — pick by sample photos.
Battery capacities are close enough not to decide this.
Both phones' support windows end around the same time.
Pound for pound, these two are equally good deals.
