Huawei sometimes chooses to surprise its competitors and, without any prior event, unveils a new device. No campaigns, no announcements… That’s what happened with the Huawei Mate 60 Pro, which is now available for pre-order on Vmall, a Chinese online store. While the most striking feature of this phone is the holes on its screen, it represents an evolution from the previous version that upgrades most of the aspects where it could have been weak.
More power, more resolution, more of everything
It was to be expected: just as Samsung is updating its hardware with improvements nobody anticipated until the iPhone 16, no company wants to fall behind in the battle for its share of the market. Huawei has incorporated a 6.82-inch LTPO OLED display with a resolution of 2720×1260 pixels and a 120Hz refresh rate. It also features a Kunlun Glass panel on top of the display.
The three notches on its screen are divided among a central selfie camera and two face readers for scanning and facial recognition, contributing to greater security in the system. This mirrors the approach used in the Mate 40 Pro and the Mate 50 Pro. Meanwhile, on the back, there’s an interesting arrangement: the circular camera module comprises a triple-sensor system with a 50-megapixel camera and a powerful light at the top that can be used as a flash.
With satellite messaging in its Chinese version and a 5,000mAh battery, its battery life is quite adequate. It can also be quickly charged through an 88W fast charging (50W wireless). All of this powers 12 gigabytes of RAM and a Huawei Kirin 9,000S processor capable of performing at its best in almost any situation, along with HarmonyOS 4, which incorporates artificial intelligence.
There are still many things we don’t know, such as the release window or when it will arrive in Europe, but it’s clear that Huawei has not given up the battle in the high-end segment and will fight hard to maintain its presence.
