Huawei originally announced its Huawei P60 series back in March. The company launched three devices in China, the Huawei P60, P60 Pro, and P60 Art. Out of all three of those devices, only one made it to global markets, the Huawei P60 Pro. That’s what Huawei announced today.
This is basically Huawei’s brand new flagship smartphone. It has a ‘Quad-Curve’ display, which essentially means that it’s curved on all sides. Huawei’s Kunlun Glass panel protects that panel, a panel that proved its worth on the Huawei Mate 50 Pro.
The Huawei P60 Pro reaches global markets with its interesting-looking camera island
On the back, you’ll notice ‘The Eye of Light’ camera module, as Huawei likes to call it. There is a compelling main camera back there, which we’ll talk about soon. In addition to that, ultrawide and telephoto cameras are also included.
The device features a 6.67-inch 2700 x 1220 LTPO AMOLED display. It has an adaptive refresh rate of up to 120Hz, and it goes down to 1Hz. This display is curved, as already mentioned, and has a centered display camera hole.
The Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 fuels this smartphone, though this is a 4G variant of the chip. You won’t be getting 5G connectivity due to the US ban Huawei has to deal with. The phone comes in both 8GB and 12GB RAM variants, with 256GB and 512GB of storage, respectively.
This phone has truly powerful camera hardware, variable aperture included
A 48-megapixel main camera is included here, and Huawei refers to it as an ‘Ultra Lighting Main Camera’. It has an auto-adjustable physical aperture (f/1.4-f/4.0), a high transmittance lens group, and an RYYB SuperSensing sensor. This camera does have OIS support, and PDAF too.
There is a 13-megapixel ultrawide camera on the back of this phone too, and a 48-megapixel telephoto camera. That telephoto camera has an f/2.1 aperture, and supports 3.5x optical zoom. OIS is also supported, the same goes for PDAF. That telephoto camera also acts as a macro camera. A single 13-megapixel camera sits on the front (f/2.4 aperture).
The Huawei P60 Pro supports 88W wired, and 50W wireless charging
The Huawei P60 Pro includes a 4,815mAh battery on the inside. 88W wired Huawei SuperCharge charging is supported, while the phone does support 50W wireless charging too. On top of that, 7.5W reverse wireless charging is on offer as well.
An in-display fingerprint scanner is included (optical), as is Bluetooth 5.2. The phone does offer a set of stereo speakers, and ships with EMUI 13.1. Google services are, of course, not included here. The phone comes with Huawei’s mobile services.
The Huawei P60 Pro will become available in Europe starting from May 9 via Huawei ecommerce. It will also be available from selected retailers starting from May 22. The 8GB RAM model is priced at €1,199, while the 12GB RAM variant costs €1,399. Each model will be available in two colors, Black and Rococo Pearl. Well, except in the UK, where the 8GB RAM model will be available in black only, and the 12GB RAM model available in ‘Rococo Pearl’ color only.
