We have some disappointing Huawei Mate 60 Pro availability info to share. This comes directly from Huawei, as the company shared it with Android Authority. The Huawei Mate 60 Pro will not be available outside of its homeland.
Disappointing Huawei Mate 60 Pro availability information gets officially confirmed
Those of you who have been hoping that the Huawei Mate 60 Pro will launch in more markets, such as Europe, well, you’re set to be disappointed. Huawei has no plans to expand the availability of the product, despite the fact the Huawei Mate 50 Pro launched in quite a few more markets.
You may wonder why is this the case? Well, it could be down to the SoC Huawei used. The Mate 60 Pro comes with Huawei’s very own Kirin 9000s processor, which does support 5G connectivity!
Huawei made this SoC in collaboration with SMIC. It’s not exactly as powerful as the latest offerings from Qualcomm, it does bring Kirin chips back into the spotlight, though. It’s close to the Snapdragon 888 in terms of sheer power, a 3-year-old chip.
Kirin processors used to be true powerhouses back in the day
Before the US sanctions, Kirin processors were a force to be reckoned with. Huawei was on the right path in many ways, and that included processors. That all changed once the sanctions took place.
We don’t have many details regarding the Kirin 9000s, but it allegedly can’t be touched by US sanctions, as it’s fully indigenous. If that is, in fact, the case, Huawei should be able to launch it in more markets. Still, there could be an obstacle we’re unaware of, or perhaps Huawei decided not to do it for some other reason. We can only guess.
The Huawei Mate 60 Pro does bring an interesting triple display camera hole design. A truly powerful camera setup with a 10-step variable aperture is also included. If the Mate 50 Pro and P50 Pro are any indication, this phone is a camera powerhouse.
