Huawei is getting ready to release the Mate 60 in China. It’s expected to launch before October 1st, which is National Day. We previously shared leaked pictures of what could be the new Huawei Mate 60. This is the next flagship phone after the Mate 50 series, which launched in September 2022. As we get closer to the launch date, more leaks are coming out online, thanks to a well-known tipster 定焦数码 (Fixed Focus Digital).
As per the post, testing of the Mate 60 prototype is scheduled to start in the upcoming week. This indicates the completion of the development phase. The company will now distribute the prototype to different internal teams for testing its performance and durability. It’s important to mention that the prototype is primarily focused on performance and doesn’t showcase the final appearance of the smartphone. Changes to the rear material are likely as the launch date approaches. The rumored key specs of the device are provided below.

The smartphone is expected to feature a “Spirit Island” design, which is a pill-shaped front camera cutout quite similar to the iPhone 14 Pro. It will come with a 6.7-inch OLED panel with 1.5k resolution, rumored to be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC. The device is said to be equipped with a triple rear camera setup, with 50MP as the main camera, 12MP as the periscope telephoto lens, and a 13MP ultrawide sensor.
In addition, Huawei recently rolled out HarmonyOS 4.0, its latest operating system which is in closed beta. Before the official release, eligible phones and tablets can try out HarmonyOS 4 for beta testing in China. This means that the Mate 60 will likely launch with HarmonyOS 4 pre-installed.
