Huawei P60 Pro and Mate X3 foldable are still Google-free, but set to launch globally in May

Huawei has just launched its latest flagship devices, with the Huawei P60 Pro and the foldable Mate X3 set to hit the global stage in a few weeks.

The Huawei P60 Pro is the company’s latest flagship smartphone, and it’s packing a solid spec sheet. There’s a 6.67-inch 120Hz OLED display, Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chip, 8-12GB of RAM and 256-512GB of storage, and the latest version of Huawei’s Google-free Android fork, HarmonyOS 3.1. That’s not bad for a device that lacks access to the latest tech by way of bans, but it’s certainly lagging behind the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 and UFS 4.0 storage found in 2023 flagships from the likes of Samsung and others.

Huawei is also shipping the P60 Pro with a 48MP primary camera, 48MP telephoto camera with 3.5x optical zoom, and 13MP ultrawide camera, plus a 13MP selfie camera. There’s also 88W fast charging, a 4,815 mAh battery, and a NanoMemory slot for expandable storage. Huawei’s P60 series also includes the P60 Art, which shares the same specs but with a bigger battery and 40MP ultrawide camera, and the regular Huawei P60, which cuts down on charging speed and the secondary cameras.

More exciting is Huawei’s latest foldable, the Huawei Mate X3, which is a drastically thinner (11.8mm when folded) device compared to its predecessor. It has a 6.4-inch display on the outside and 7.85-inch display on the inside, with the whole package being IPX8 water and dust resistant. It also runs on top of the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 and HarmonyOS and has a trio of cameras on the back headlined by a 50MP primary sensor.

Huawei has confirmed that it will host a launch event on May 9 – the day before Google I/O – to launch the Huawei P60 series as well as the Mate X3 (probably) on a global scale, though there’s no chance of a US debut. GSMArena shared a teaser image from Huawei.
