Huawei Mate 60 launch might happen soon
The impending launch of the Huawei Mate 60 appears to be on the horizon, promising an imminent arrival that could reshape the smartphone landscape.
Amidst fervent anticipation, Huawei is gearing up for the highly anticipated release of its coveted Mate 60 series, destined to make its debut later this year. Despite the company's efforts to maintain an air of secrecy around the impending smartphones, a renowned tipster, 定焦数码 (fixed focus digital), has managed to unveil a sneak peek into the launch timeline for these forthcoming devices.

In a recent Weibo post by 定焦数码, a notable tipster, it has been disclosed that Huawei is strategically planning to unveil its Mate 60 smartphone prior to China's Mid-Autumn Festival on September 29 and the subsequent National Day on October 1. By introducing the smartphone ahead of these significant holidays, the company aims to ensure optimal sales potential and capitalize on the festive demand, suggesting that the smartphone's arrival is imminent before September concludes. Notably, production concerns appear to be resolved, with no anticipated delays affecting the launch timeline.
Reports from earlier sources have hinted at the Mate 60 series embracing a distinct "Spirit Island" design, marked by a pill-shaped front camera cutout reminiscent of the dynamic island on the iPhone 14 Pro. Anticipated features encompass a triple-camera arrangement headlined by a 50MP primary sensor, while the display is projected to encompass a 6.7-inch 1.5K OLED panel.
Leaks have further alluded to Huawei's potential decision to veer away from the previously speculated Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC, in favor of an alternative, potentially a MediaTek chip. This strategic choice seems to stem from the lingering effects of the US sanctions imposed on Huawei. Following its inclusion in the Entity List in 2020, the company faced constraints in sourcing cutting-edge chips due to restrictions on U.S. companies' trade with Huawei, particularly concerning advanced technologies required for its smartphones.
