Soon after the announcement of the HUAWEI Mate 60 Pro, the company also unveiled the vanilla version, the Mate 60, as part of an early access program. It has similar specifications to the Pro version, with a few downgrades.
It features a new 6.69-inch FHD+ OLED flat screen with a 120Hz refresh rate and LTPO (1–120Hz) technology. The phone also has a 1.07 billion-color display with support for 1,440Hz PWM dimming, 2nd Gen Kunlun glass protection, and a punch-hole that houses a 13MP front camera.
The company has not yet revealed the processor for the Mate 60, but it is expected to be the same Kirin 9000s SoC as the Pro version. Unlike the Mate 60 Pro, it only supports satellite messaging, not calls.
In terms of the camera, the Mate 60 has triple rear cameras: a 50MP super-spotting main camera with an F1.4–F4.0 ten-step variable physical aperture, a 12MP ultra-wide lens, and a 12MP 5x optical periscope telephoto camera.
The HUAWEI Mate 60 has a slightly smaller 4750mAh battery than the Pro version, but it still supports up to 66W of fast charging, 50W of wireless fast charging, and reverse wireless charging.
