Huawei Mate 50 series was launched towards the end of last year and it bought interesting features like Satellite connectivity and powerful cameras. But like the rest of Huawei phones, the lineup was restricted to 4G connectivity, which definitely made them less desirable. But that might change with the upcoming Mate 60 series. The flagship line is reported to debut in October and it is said to bring 5G connectivity. Here are the details.

5G could return on Huawei phones

According to a recent Weibo post by Chinese tipster Classmateguan, the highly anticipated Huawei Mate 60 series is expected to launch this October. This timeline coincides with the previous year’s release schedule. Interestingly, the tipster seems to suggest that the upcoming phones will feature 5G connectivity, as evidenced by the cryptic message “GGGGG” performance.

For the unaware, due to trade restrictions with U.S. companies like Qualcomm, Huawei has been barred from using 5G technology. This move has been seen to negatively impact the Chinese company’s smartphone business. Just a few years ago, Huawei claimed a global leadership position in the sale of smartphones and wireless networking equipment but now it’s barely staying relevant in the market.

In any case, Huawei is keeping up with the pace of technology and continues to offer consumers decent smartphones. Its latest release, the P60 series, boasts an impressive design and camera setup, which has been well-received by consumers. However, it’s worth noting that the lineup currently uses 4G chipsets, as that’s currently what the company has access to.

While details about the Mate 60 series are scarce, some renders have been circulating on the internet showing a possible Mate 60 series phone with a rear circular camera similar to that of the Honor X40. However, we don’t think these renders are accurate.
