Yesterday, Huawei introduced its new top-of-the-line phone, the Huawei Mate 60 Pro. People can now order this phone in China from Vmall. It costs CNY 7,000 for the version with 12GB of memory and 512GB of storage. If you’re wondering if the phone will be sold in other countries, the answer is “no.” This statement was made by the company to Android Authority. It should come as a blow to global users who are seeking to explore live outside of Google’s Android operating system.
Will Huawei Mate 60 Go Global?
Yesterday, the Pro version was shown to us, and today we see the regular Huawei Mate 60. Will consumers worldwide have access to this model? We don’t have a clear answer at the moment, and we’re not too hopeful either. In the past, the Mate 50 Pro and P60 Pro were sold in Europe, but the regular versions were not. If the Mate 60 Pro isn’t going to be available on the global stage, it seems unlikely for the regular version too.
Key Details of the Huawei Mate 60 Pro
Well, Huawei didn’t just decide to surprise us with the announcement of the Mate 60 Pro, the device also comes with a couple of surprising features. The main surprise lies in the Kirin Chip. The smartphone spots the Kirin 9000s chipset from Huawei. After the US curbs put a halt on the production of the Kirin Chips, the company has finally bounced back.
Another surprising feature happens to be the availability of 5G connectivity. Huawei smartphone users have been limited to 4G connectivity despite the 5G era. Before the arrival of the Mate 60 Pro, there were a lot of speculations surrounding Huawei’s ability to launch a 5G device. However, the company has proven beyond reasonable doubt that it’s truly capable of producing 5G device by itself, as we can see in the Mate 60 series.

Additionally, the smartphone features a 6.82-inch LTPO AMOLED screen with 120Hz refresh rate. The handset also features a screen-to-body ratio of 88.5% and a pixel density of 423 ppi. Another great feature of the smartphone is the strength of its display. Huawei’s Kunlun Glass has pride itself as one of the strongest glasses you can find on any smartphone today. The Mate 60 pro features the second edition of the Kunlun glass which further widens the gap in terms of screen strength between Huawei smartphones and other brands.
This device also features a triple rear camera which include a 50MP main sensor, a 48MP Periscope Telephoto lens which can perform up to 3.5x optical zoom and 100x digital zoom. The third sensor is a 120-degree ultrawide angle lens for capturing wide angle photos and videos. It is worth noting that this handset also features the manual aperture which was first introduced in its predecessor. On the front side, you get the 13MP selfie camera.
Other Features of the Huawei Mate 60 Pro
The company has finally pushed the battery of its flagship to a 5,000mAh in the Mate 60 Pro. Huawei says that this can fully charge from 0 to 100% within 30 minutes, thanks to the inclusion of the 88W Huawei Superfast charger. This device also comes with a 50W wireless charging capacity which can still charge faster than the wired charging of certain flagships. The 20W reverse wireless charging of the Mate 60 Pro should also be fast enough to give another smartphone enough power within a few minutes.
With the Huawei Mate 60 Pro, users can remotely control other home appliances by taking advantage of the infrared port. As mentioned earlier, the Huawei Mate 60 Pro leads the way in terms of satellite calling on a smartphone. It is the first phone to have a satellite calling capability in the world.
