Huawei has just launched its latest generation of flagship smartphones from its popular P series. The new P60 models are the company’s premium grade phones and also come with top notch photography performance. So let’s have a look.

Design & Display

The Chinese tech giant’s latest P60 series includes the base P60 and the higher end P60 Pro model and the P60 Art version as well. In terms of dimensions, both versions are basically identical although the Pro variant is heavier. From the front, the new devices appear like any other handset, but the rear design is quite unique. The camera module on the rear is quite prominent thanks to the large primary sensor that is housed between two other sensors.

The new design is quite robust as well, with the series featuring Kunlun Glass for protection and IP68 water and dust resistance. Alongside these two models, there is also a Huawei P60 Art model that features a camera module that has a slight different design. It actually resembles an island with its curved angles that have no geometric accuracy. Notably, the Art variant also comes in two colors that reflect colors differently depending on the angle light falls on it.

The Huawei P60, P60 Pro, and P60 Art feature the exact same display. They sport a tall 6.67 inch OLED quad curved display that supports high dynamic photos and videos. Furthermore, it supports LTPO adaptive refresh rate that can range from 1 to 120Hz all the while offering 29 percent power consumption reduction. The smartphone are also equipped with Huawei’s X-True immersive display technology along with TUV Rheinland certification. The devices also offers a high 93.1 percent screen to body ratio.

Specifications & Features

Under the hood, the base Huawei P60 model is equipped with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC. This chipset only supports 4G networking and is also an entire generation behind most current gen flagship phones. Although, the higher end P60 Pro and P60 Art fair slightly better since they feature the relatively newer Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset. But this SoC is also locked with 4G networking support.

The P60 will be available in a 128GB , 256GB, and 512GB storage options, while the P60 Pro will only offer the 256GB and 512GB versions. On the other hand the P60 Art will have a 512GB and a 1TB variant as well. The base and the Pro model are powered by a 4,815mAh battery pack that supports 88W fast charging, while the Art version has a larger 5,100mAh battery pack with the same charging rate.

Other notable features include, the new second generation satellite communication that allows for two way SMS. In other words, users can not only receive messages but also send them by SMS via satellite connection. The company offers this feature thanks to its latest breakthroughs in satellite solutions that are built into the new flagship smartphones. All three models run on the company’s HarmonyOS 3.1 out of the box.

Camera

Arriving at perhaps the most important aspect of a P series smartphone, the cameras. The base P60 features a triple camera setup that consists of a 48 megapixel sensor that has an RYYB pixel layout, an F/1.4-4.0 variable aperture lens and optical image stabilization (OIS). Alongside the primary sensor, the device also has a 13 megapixel ultra wide angle lens that also has an RYYB sensor and an F/2.2 aperture. The last sensor is also a 12 megapixel RYYB sensor that has OIS and 5x optical zoom.

Meanwhile, the first two sensors on the P60 Pro are basically identical but the main difference is in its zoom lens. The Pro model has a much higher 48 megapixel resolution and a larger aperture for the periscope module and even optical image stabilization. Arriving at the top end Huawei P60 Art variant, it features the same primary sensor and periscope zoom lens as the Pro model, but its ultra wide angle sensor is a higher resolution 40 megapixel camera. On the front, the entire P60 series features a 13 megapixel selfie shooter on a center aligned punch hole camera.
