Huawei is preparing to launch its much-awaited Mate 60 series this year. While the company has tried to prevent any leaks about the smartphones, a known tipster 定焦数码 (fixed focus digital) has now leaked the launch timeline of the upcoming devices.

In a recent Weibo post by 定焦数码, the leaker revealed that Huawei may launch their Mate 60 smartphone before the Mid-Autumn Festival (September 29) and National Day (1 October) in China. The company plans to introduce the smartphone ahead of the holidays to avoid missing out on sales. This means we can expect the smartphone to land before the end of September. The leaker has also revealed that Huawei is not facing any production issues when it comes to its flagship device, meaning that there won’t be any further delays in the launch.

Previous reports have mentioned that the Mate 60 series smartphones will feature a “Spirit Island” design, which is essentially a pill-shaped front camera cutout like the dynamic island on the iPhone 14 Pro. The smartphone is said to feature a triple-camera setup with a 50MP primary camera. The display will likely be a 6.7-inch 1.5K OLED panel.

Leaks have also mentioned that Huawei may not use the previously rumored Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC, but go with an alternative like a MediaTek chip. This choice is likely due to Huawei still suffering from the US sanctions imposed on them. For those unaware, In 2020, the United States government added Huawei to the Entity List, which prohibits U.S. companies from selling or exporting goods, software, or technology to Huawei without a license from the U.S. government. This included chips for 5G products, which effectively cut Huawei off from the latest cutting-edge chips it required for its smartphones.
