According to a supply chain report, Huawei plans to launch two flagship smartphones in 2023, with the announcements scheduled for March and September. These events are expected to feature the Huawei P60 and Mate 60 series, which will be powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon chipsets and will support 4G networks, though it is unclear whether they will also support 5G.

Out of these devices, the protective case of the Huawei P60 series device has been leaked by DSC on the Chinese microblogging site Weibo. The protective case clearly shows the size and shape of each rear camera. All three remain in one corner of the “P60’s” rear panel but have evolved into a large, central ring flanked by two smaller, square lens cut-outs.

There appears to be a dual stereo speaker setup onboard, with one speaker on top and one on bottom. There also appears to be an IR blaster cutout on the top side of the device. Based on the design of the TPU case, tipster Rodent950 has shared some concept renders of the Huawei P60 series.

Earlier leaks have revealed that the Huawei P60 will be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 4G chipset. The device is said to feature a 64-megapixel primary sensor. The front of the device could have dual selfie cameras mounted on a pill-shaped cutout.
