Third-party reviews

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

  • High-end triple camera system featuring a 50MP main sensor with variable aperture and an exceptional 'telemacro' lens for detailed close-ups
  • Premium build quality and durable design, often compared to the iPhone in terms of flagship feel and craftsmanship
  • Smooth and responsive user experience with HarmonyOS 4, noted for its lack of micro-stutters and fluid animations
  • Vibrant 6.82-inch LTPO OLED display that maintains accuracy and readability across various lighting environments
  • Ultra-fast charging capabilities, including 88W wired and 50W wireless charging that can reach full power in approximately 40 minutes
  • Advanced biometric security featuring 3D face recognition and a snappy on-screen fingerprint sensor
  • Innovative satellite communication features and excellent cellular reception, marking Huawei's return to competitive 5G connectivity

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

  • Total lack of native Google Mobile Services (GMS), which severely limits the appeal for global users dependent on apps like Google Pay and Android Auto
  • Underwhelming Kirin 9000s chipset performance compared to contemporary flagships from Apple and Qualcomm, particularly under heavy gaming loads
  • Thermal management issues, with reports of the device heating up during heavy processing tasks or extended 4K video recording
  • Large and heavy physical footprint (225g) that can be difficult for comfortable one-handed use
  • Software limitations outside of China, such as persistent Chinese-language notifications despite setting the system language to English
  • Inconsistent battery life under heavy use, with some users noting aggressive management is required to last a full day

Verdict

The Huawei Mate 60 Pro (12GB + 1TB) is a flagship smartphone notable for its advanced connectivity and powerful internal hardware. It features a robust 50MP main camera system with a variable aperture, supported by 12GB of RAM and a vast 1TB of storage, making it excellent for photography and storage-intensive tasks. A key pro is its unique satellite calling capability, allowing communication in areas without cellular coverage. However, the primary con is the lack of official Google Mobile Services (GMS), which may limit access to certain popular apps and services outside of China.
