Huawei has always been known for offering devices that provide excellent value for money. The newly launched, Huawei Mate 60 Pro is no exception. This smartphone provides a plethora of features that can easily compete with high-end devices from other leading brands and bring this smartphone into the category of flagship phones. Let’s deep dive into the article and explore what this phone has to offer to its final consumers.
Special Features:
– Three punch-hole cameras at the front (3D face unlock capabilities) and back of the phone.
– Satellite calling feature (limited to China Telecom right now).
– LTPO OLED screen with a 2720 x 1260 pixels resolution and 120 Hz adaptive refresh rate.
Since the end of 2018, Huawei has not participated actively in the American market. Despite the several obstacles caused by the US that HUAWEI has had recently, the company has continued to make some excellent phones. However, this new launch was a silent one and is for China only, and as per further information, the company does not plan to launch it globally.

Three punch holes are included in the display; one is for the selfie camera and the other two, one of which is for a 3D Time-of-Flight sensor, are required for a secure facial recognition capability akin to Face ID.
Three cameras are located in a ring on the back, including a 50MP primary camera with optical image stabilization (OIS) and a variable aperture of f/1.4 to f/4.0. The other two cameras are a 48MP telephoto camera with autofocus and OIS and a 12MP ultra-wide camera with f/2.2 aperture.
The phone has 12GB of RAM and comes in 256GB, 512GB, and 1TB storage options. Pre-orders are currently being handled on the VMALL online store, however, for now, there is just one option available there: the 512GB model, which costs CNY 6,999 ($960.33 at the current exchange rate). Now that the Mate 60 Pro supports satellite calls, only China Telecom subscribers can currently take advantage of this feature.

Built & Design
At the back of the phone, you will notice that the Huawei Mate 60 Pro has a two-tone rear cover as well. For the White and green versions, the top portion is composed of glass, while the Black and Purple options use faux leather. Because Huawei appears to have drawn inspiration from China’s natural beauty while creating these colors, each one is aptly titled after a Chinese locale. This combo of colors and materials really gives a unique design to the phone.
