Huawei has launched its latest flagship phones, the P60 Pro and Mate X3, in Europe. The Chinese tech giant had initially announced both phones in China in March but has now revealed plans for a wider rollout.
Both phones run on Huawei’s EMUI 13.1 UI and rely on the company’s AppGallery for sourcing apps, with no official access to the Google Play Store.
The Huawei P60 Pro boasts a 6.7-inch FHD+ 120Hz LTPO OLED display covered by a durable (and Huawei-exclusive) Kunlun Glass panel. It weighs 200g, is 8.3mm thick, and has an IP68 rating. The P60 Pro features a Rococo Pearl colorway, which uses natural mineral pearl powder to give the finish a certain lustre, as well as a 48-megapixel main camera sensor with OIS and an f/1.4 to f/4.0 auto-adjustable physical aperture.
It also has a 48-megapixel telephoto sensor with a 3.5x optical zoom and an unusually wide f/2.1 aperture for bolstered zoomed-in Night mode shots.
The phone is powered by a 4,815mAh battery and has 88W wired charging as well as 50W wireless fast charging. The P60 Pro is available in Europe and the UK from May 9, with prices starting from £1,199.99/€1,199.
The Huawei Mate X3 is a full-sized foldable with a razor-thin 5.3mm body (when unfolded) and weighs 239g. It packs in a 4,800mAh battery, which is larger than its Samsung rival, and can charge at 66W wired and 50W wireless charging.
The phone features a 6.4-inch FHD+ outer display with a durable Kunlun Glass cover and a 7.85-inch 2496 x 2224 fold-out display, both with a 120Hz refresh rate.
On the camera front, the Huawei Mate X3 packs a 50MP wide camera, 13MP ultra-wide, and a 12MP telephoto sensor, which features a 5x periscope lens, unusual in a foldable. It also has a pair of 8-megapixel selfie cameras. The Huawei Mate X3 launches in Europe from May 22 and the UK from May 26, costing £1999.99/€2,199.
Anyone purchasing from the UK Huawei Store before June 5 will receive a free Huawei Watch GT 3 (while stocks last), while buyers of the 512GB P60 Pro can also claim a £100 voucher for the UK Huawei Store.
