Huawei has launched its latest generation of flagship smartphones from its popular P series in China, featuring the base P60 and the higher-end P60 Pro model and the P60 Art version. Both versions are basically identical in terms of dimensions, but the difference being the Pro variant slightly heavier. The rear design of the new devices is something unique, with the camera module on the rear being quite big thanks to the large primary sensor sitting between the two other sensors.
Design and Display
The P60 series features the latest Kunlun Glass for protection and IP68 water and dust resistance, making the design quite robust. Alongside these two models, there is also a Huawei P60 Art model that features a camera module that has a slightly unique design from the two. The display for all three models is the same, featuring a tall 6.67-inch OLED quad curved display that supports HDR and a 120 Hz refresh rate. All of these devices are equipped with Huawei’s X-True immersive display technology along with TUV Rheinland certification and offer a 89.8 percent screen-to-body ratio.
Camera
Perhaps the most important segment of the P series smartphone is the cameras.
The base P60 features a triple camera setup that holds a 48-megapixel sensor that has an RYYB pixel layout, an F/1.4-4.0 variable aperture lens, and optical image stabilization (OIS). Alongside the primary sensor, the device is rocking a 13-megapixel ultra-wide-angle lens with an RYYB sensor and an F/2.2 aperture. The third sensor is also a 12-megapixel RYYB sensor that has OIS and 5x optical zoom.
Meanwhile, the first two sensors on the P60 Pro are basically the same, but the main difference is in the zoom lens. The Pro model has a much higher 48-megapixel resolution and a larger aperture for the periscope module and even optical image stabilization.
The top-end Huawei P60 Art variant features the same primary sensor and periscope zoom lens as the Pro model, but the difference is in its ultra-wide-angle sensor that has a higher resolution 40-megapixel camera.
On the front, the entire P60 series features a 13-megapixel punch-hole selfie shooter in the centre of the display.

Features and Other Specifications
Under the hood, the base Huawei P60 model is equipped with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC, which only supports 4G networking and is also an entire generation behind most current-gen flagship phones. The higher-end P60 Pro and P60 Art feature the relatively newer and better Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset, but this SoC is also locked with 4G networking support. The P60 will be available in 128GB, 256GB, and 512GB storage options, while the P60 Pro will only offer 256GB and 512GB versions. The P60 Art will have a 512GB and a 1TB variant as well. The base and the Pro model are powered by a 4,815mAh battery pack that supports 66W fast charge for the base variant and 88W fast charging for the Pro variant, while the Art version has a larger 5,100mAh battery pack with the same 88W fast charging.
Other amazing feature of the P series include the new second-generation satellite communication that allows for two-way SMS. In other words, users can not only receive messages but also send them by SMS via satellite connection. The company offers this feature thanks to its latest breakthroughs in satellite solutions that are built into the new flagship smartphones. All three models run on the company’s HarmonyOS 3.1 out of the box.
