What we like about Huawei Mate 60 (12GB + 1TB)

  • Exceptional build quality with a premium two-tone finish and comfortable ergonomic design.
  • Highly capable camera system, especially noted for low-light performance and unique 'telemacro' lens capabilities.
  • Extremely smooth and responsive user interface (HarmonyOS) despite using older processor technology.
  • Vibrant 120Hz LTPO OLED display with excellent peak brightness for outdoor readability.
  • Fast charging speeds (up to 88W wired and 50W wireless) and overall solid battery longevity for most users.
  • Strong cellular reception and the inclusion of groundbreaking satellite communication features.

What we don't like about Huawei Mate 60 (12GB + 1TB)

  • Lack of native Google Mobile Services (GMS), which limits the use of certain apps like Google Pay and Android Auto.
  • Kirin 9000S chipset performance falls behind current flagship competitors under heavy gaming or 4K video recording.
  • Thermal issues, with reports of the device heating up under heavy load or during fast charging.
  • High import costs and lack of local warranty for international buyers outside of mainland China.
  • Absence of 8K video recording support, which is common in other 2023–2024 flagship smartphones.
  • Software limitations and glitches when attempting to side-load or use workarounds for restricted apps.

Verdict

The Huawei Mate 60 (12GB + 1TB) is a flagship smartphone featuring a 6.69-inch LTPO OLED display with a 1-120Hz adaptive refresh rate and a resolution of 2688 x 1216 pixels, protected by robust Kunlun Glass 2. It is powered by the in-house Kirin 9000S octa-core processor and runs on HarmonyOS 4.0. Photography is a major strength, with a versatile rear triple-camera system including a 50MP main sensor with a variable f/1.4-f/4.0 aperture and OIS, a 12MP periscope telephoto lens with 5x optical zoom, and a 12MP ultrawide lens. The 4750mAh battery supports rapid 66W wired and 50W wireless charging, with 7.5W reverse wireless charging also available. The main pros include a stellar camera system with advanced optical zoom, fast charging capabilities, a premium IP68-rated build, and up to 1TB of spacious internal storage. Key cons are the absence of Google Play Services, which can limit app compatibility outside its native market, and limited availability since it is primarily sold in China.
