Huawei surprised everyone today and launched the Mate 60 Pro without a huge teaser campaign or major event. The new smartphone is already available for pre-order on Vmall, the company’s online store in China, so local customers can pre-order their units.
The most interesting feature is the three holes in the display, where Huawei has nested the selfie camera and the 3D ToF sensor. Apart from that, the phone is an evolutionary upgrade over its predecessor.
Huawei has brought a large 6.82-inch 10-bit LTPO OLED screen with a resolution of 2720 x 1260 pixels and an adaptive refresh rate of 120Hz. The Mate 60 Pro also has a second-generation Kunlun glass on top of the panel.
The trio of holes on top contain the same setup we’ve seen on the Mate 40 Pro and Mate 50 Pro: a 13MP ultrawide selfie camera along with 3D facial mapping sensors and lasers for the Face ID feature.
The circle on the back can hold three more cameras. A popular 50MP main unit with OIS and PDAF that we’ve seen in the Mate 50 Pro and P60 Pro with its f/1.4-f/4.0 variable aperture. The ultrawide camera has a 12MP sensor and f/2.2 lens, while the third has a 48MP sensor and f/3.0 telephoto camera with OIS and AF.
The Huawei Mate 60 Pro supports satellite messaging in China. The 5,000mAh battery supports 88W wired and 50W wireless charging, as well as 20W reverse wireless charging.
The operating system is HarmonyOS 4.0, making the Mate 60 Pro the first phone with this user interface out of the box. Unfortunately, Huawei has not confirmed which chipset the Mate 60 Pro uses.
The phone has a two-tone back and four color options. The upper part is made of glass for the White and Green options, while eco-leather is used for Purple and Black. All are named after a location in China because Huawei apparently took inspiration from the country’s nature when developing these colors.
The Huawei Mate 60 Pro comes with 12GB of RAM and three storage options: 256GB, 512GB and 1TB. Currently, only the central one is listed on the company website for 6,999 CNY (about $960/€900).
