Huawei Mate 60 Review: specs and features, camera quality test, gaming benchmark, user opinions and photos

Huawei Mate 60 - software solves everything?

The Chinese company Huawei has lost some of its popularity due to the ill-fated US sanctions (the inability to use the latest processors, Google services, and more), but it does not stop releasing smartphones and strives to restore its market share. However, the only way for the corporation to win back lost customers is to release phones with such value for money that the software problem is not noticeable. And it seems that the developer succeeded with the hero of today's review.

It's hard not to fall in love with the signature flagship design of the novelty. A beautiful triple camera unit, a graceful combination of metal and glass, thin bezels around the entire perimeter of the display look modern and extremely attractive. Full protection against dust and moisture (IP68 standard) has not disappeared either. The 6.7-inch AMOLED screen retained a resolution of 2700x1224 pixels, but was improved in other ways. The refresh rate of the picture has grown to 120 hertz, the brightness margin has almost reached the mark of 2000 nits, the accuracy of the built-in fingerprint scanner has been increased.

The technical characteristics were the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 CPU, 8GB / 12GB of RAM, the Adreno 730 video adapter. Although the bundle is not a record in terms of performance, it is sufficient for both an ordinary user and a sophisticated gamer. The smoothness of the HarmonyOS 3.0 interface is very high, even long gaming sessions in resource-intensive games like Fortnite do not cause frame rate fluctuations or lags. Of course, all of the above is relevant when playing at maximum graphics presets. Case heating is small, the chipset is not characterized by increased power consumption. The 5000mAh battery lasts about a day and a half, the battery supports wireless (50W) and wired (65W) charging. 256/512GB of permanent memory is allocated, its format is UFS 4.0.

Photo capabilities have always been a hallmark of the representatives of the Mate line. A 50-megapixel Sony IMX890 main photo module with optical stabilization, a 12-megapixel wide-angle sensor and a telephoto lens (5x Zoom) allow you to count on high-quality shots with the dynamics of objects, mediocre lighting. Pleasantly surprised by the exact reproduction of colors, and the preservation of detail. The stereo sound is loud, the frequency response is balanced. Of course, there are NFC contactless payments, 5G support. Thus, if you are not afraid of difficulties with the operating system, then it will be difficult to find any flaws in the device.
