Huawei just announced that it is bringing both its latest P60 Pro flagship phone and the foldable Mate X3 to the European market and named their price tags. The Huawei P60 Pro sports a quad-curved display and unique photography kit with variable aperture on the main camera, as well as Ultra Lighting Telephoto Camera with F2.1 aperture, the largest on a phone with periscope zoom lens.
Huawei P60 Pro price and specs
EUR 1199 / GBP 1199.99 for the 8GB RAM / 256GB storage version
EUR 1399 / GBP 1299.99 for the 12GB RAM / 512GB storage version
Release: May 9 at Huawei's store and May 22 at major retailers
The P60 Pro starts from €1199 and offers a unique Pearl Texture Design, "which incorporates natural mineral pearl powder into the smartphone’s device to create an illuminative and lustrous effect, achieving a unique natural texture like the Mother of Pearl," says Huawei. The other color that the P60 Pro is available in is black with Anti-Fingerprint Feather-Sand Glass coating.
The ultrathin 8.3mm design is not all there is to the P60 Pro, though, as it also sports a unique quad-curved display with tough Kunlun cover glass. The display is of the high-end LTPO OLED variety that allows e 1-120Hz adaptive refresh rate and is the only one with double certification for credible wide gamut coverage and precise color projection. The thin P60 Pro is also much lighter than most other flagship phones at exactly 200g.
Other notable Huawei P60 Pro specs include a Snapdragon 8-series processor, 4815 mAh battery capacity, and quick 88W charging speeds, as well as ultrafast 50W wireless charging abilities. Unfortunately, due to the ongoing export restrictions drama, P60 Pro users will have to make do with 4G download speeds which may not be that big of a deal if the LTE network they hook up to is robust enough.

Huawei P60 Pro
The Good
Powerful camera system for photography
Software runs smoothly
Fast wired AND wireless charging
Super bright display
The Bad
Essential Google apps missing
Disappointing video recording quality
Expensive for what it is
White color version a bit gaudy, go for black if you want a more conservative look
The P60 Pro comes equipped with an Ultra-Lighting XMAGE camera kit that brings some mobile photography firsts to the table and earned the highest DxOMark score. The overhauled optical system is headed by a 48MP Ultra Lighting main camera equipped with F1.4-F4.0 Auto-Adjustable Physical Aperture, High Transmittance Lens Group, and an RYYB SuperSensing sensor.
According to Huawei, these hardware improvements "produce vivid photography in low-light settings" and "ultra-high dynamic range in scenes with higher light-to-dark ratios such as sunrise and sunset, dawn and dusk," capturing even the minute texture details like the shining of smooth glass surfaces.
Preparing to battle the breathtaking zoom camera on the latest Oppo Find X6 Pro, the Huawei P60 Pro has been equipped with a "revolutionary" Night Vision Telephoto camera with F2.1 aperture that is the biggest on a phone with folding periscope zoom system. The telephoto camera also sports a lens group and RYYB SuperSensing sensor that allow it to capture more light just like the main camera.
