Huawei P60: launch date and value

In keeping with a leaker posting on Chinese language website Weibo (opens in new tab), the Huawei P60 collection might be unveiled in March. On the time they did not say precisely when in March, however they’ve since posted once more (opens in new tab), saying the launch will occur on March 23.

In order that’s our greatest guess for now, although this supply would not have as a lot of a observe file as some.

We can also’t take a look at earlier fashions for clues, as Huawei hasn’t caught to a yearly launch cycle, with the Huawei P50 touchdown again in August 2021.

Nonetheless, it’s value noting that the August launch was only for China, with different international locations not getting the telephone till no less than January 2022, and a few areas having to attend till March 2022. So, it’s totally potential that the Huawei P60 collection gained’t get a world launch till months after its Chinese language unveiling.

These are additionally telephones that gained’t land within the US, as Huawei doesn’t actually have a presence there, and there’s a excessive probability that they gained’t land in Australia, both – but it surely’s probably that no less than one of many fashions in query will attain the UK.

As for the worth, there’s no information simply but, however for reference, the Huawei P50 Professional offered for £1,099.99 (round $1,345 / AU$1,930). The usual Huawei P50 isn’t offered within the areas we cowl, however in China it begins at ¥4,488 (approx. $660 / £540 / AU$950), so costs for the brand new telephones may be alongside these strains.

Huawei P60: design and show

Our closest take a look at the potential design of the Huawei P60 collection – and particularly the Huawei P60 Professional – has come from renders created by somebody going by the title Hoilndi (opens in new tab). These are primarily based on beforehand leaked info, so that they’re not official. As such, you need to take them with a pinch of salt.

Regardless, you possibly can see one under, and so they present a flat display with a centered punch-hole digicam on the entrance, whereas on the again there’s a reasonably typically-positioned digicam block (though it’s not a typical design, with a golden ring across the central lens).

The again – which is presumably manufactured from glass – additionally appears to be like prefer it curves barely in the direction of the body.

Whereas we would not take these photographs as gospel, we’ve seen comparable elsewhere, with leaker @RODENT950 (opens in new tab) sharing comparable renders on Twitter.

Shared throughout quite a few tweets, these renders present the Huawei P60 Professional – and maybe different fashions, although all of them look a lot the identical – in varied colours, together with black, orange, blue, pink and white.

Most of those present a gold digicam ring, however not all do. Nonetheless, whereas the unique supply of a few of these renders will not be completely clear, @RODENT950 particularly says that some are ideas primarily based on leaked photographs of circumstances for the telephones (opens in new tab).

Which means the main points may not be completely proper, however the core form of the telephones (and the digicam blocks) ought to be correct – assuming the circumstances (pictured under) are professional. Past these photographs, plenty of sources have additionally advised that some or the entire telephones within the collection may have an IP68 certification for mud and water resistance.

As for the display, the Huawei P60 Professional may have a 6.6-inch 1440 x 3200 OLED show with a 120Hz refresh charge, in response to MyDrivers (opens in new tab). Nonetheless, there’s no information on the display specs of the usual Huawei P60 – or the rumored top-end mannequin, which may be referred to as the P60 Extremely or the P60 Professional Plus.

Huawei P60: digicam and battery

In keeping with leaker @RODENT950 (opens in new tab), the Huawei P60 has a triple-lens rear digicam with a 52MP IMX789 important sensor, a 50MP IMX858 ultra-wide digicam, and a 16MP IMX351 sensor, which we’d guess will in all probability be used with a telephoto lens.

The identical supply claims (opens in new tab) that the Huawei P60 Professional has a 50MP IMX888 major digicam, a 50MP IMX858 ultra-wide, and a 64MP telephoto digicam with an OV64B sensor.

Each telephones may reportedly have a variable aperture on their important lens, as was seen on the Huawei Mate 50 Professional, and the Huawei P60 Professional might need a 32MP selfie digicam.

As with a lot else concerning the Huawei P60 collection, the battery specs of the opposite fashions stay a thriller for now.

Huawei P60: specs and options

In keeping with the identical supply as most of this info (opens in new tab) (@RODENT950), the Huawei P60 collection will use a Snapdragon eight Plus Gen 1 chipset. That’s barely dated now, as most 2022 flagships are anticipated to make use of the newer Snapdragon eight Gen 2. Nonetheless, it stays a high-end possibility.

Disappointingly, however unsurprisingly, that is reportedly a 4G model of the chipset, so like different current Huawei telephones, there in all probability gained’t be any 5G help right here.

What these telephones will apparently have is capability for emergency satellite tv for pc communications, which appears to be the brand new large factor in cell – although whether or not this function might be obtainable outdoors of China stays unclear.

It’s additionally unclear what RAM, storage or software program these telephones may have – although they definitely gained’t have entry to the Google Play Retailer, as no trendy Huawei telephones do.
