Huawei Extends Mate 60 Series with Mate 60 Pro+<\/p>\n
Phones Canada team <\/p>\n
A week after announcing the Mate 60 Pro, Huawei is adding to the series with the Mate 60 Pro+. Both phones are generating interest for their use of a homegrown Kirin 5G chipset produced by SMIC, China\u2019s largest foundry. This is notable because U.S. restrictions have prevented Huawei from accessing cutting-edge chips. <\/p>\n
Release Date and Pre-Orders<\/p>\n
Huawei has announced that the Mate 60 Pro+ will be released on October 9th. Pre-orders for the device are already being accepted. <\/p>\n
Satellite Connectivity and Storage Capacity<\/p>\n
Similar to the Mate 60 Pro, the Mate 60 Pro+ allows users to make phone calls and send texts using satellites in areas without cellular connectivity. However, the Mate 60 Pro+ offers an additional feature, as it can connect to two satellites simultaneously. In terms of storage, users can choose between 512GB or 1TB options, both accompanied by 16GB of RAM. <\/p>\n
Breakthrough Chipset<\/p>\n
Previous Huawei smartphone series, such as the Mate 50 line and this year\u2019s P60 models, employed Qualcomm\u2019s Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipsets. However, due to U.S. restrictions, these chips were limited in their compatibility with 5G networks. The Mate 60 Pro and Mate 60 Pro+ overcome this issue with Huawei\u2019s own Kirin chipset. <\/p>\n
Comparison with Top Foundries<\/p>\n
While the Kirin 9000s chip used in the Mate 60 Pro+ is a significant development for Huawei, it still lags behind the chipsets manufactured by leading foundries like TSMC and Samsung Foundry. TSMC, for example, employs a 3nm process node to build Apple\u2019s A17 Bionic chipset for the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max. This enables the A17 Bionic to have a higher transistor count, resulting in greater power and energy efficiency compared to the Kirin chipset. <\/p>\n
Impressive Speed Tests<\/p>\n
According to Reuters, speed tests shared on Chinese social media show that the Mate 60 Pro delivers 5G download speeds surpassing those of top-line 5G handsets. This accomplishment is all the more impressive considering the U.S. restrictions on Huawei\u2019s chip access. Analyst Dan Hutcheson from TechInsights describes it as a \u201cslap in the face\u201d to the U.S. <\/p>\n
Introduction of the Mate X5<\/p>\n
In addition to the Mate 60 Pro+, Huawei has introduced the Mate X5, a book-style foldable phone. The Mate X5 boasts features such as 12GB or 16GB of RAM, storage options of 512GB or 1TB, a 6.4-inch external display, a 7.85-inch internal screen, and a camera array consisting of a 50MP primary camera, a 13MP ultra-wide camera, and a 12MP periscope telephoto camera. The phone also includes an 8MP front-facing camera and a 5060mAh battery. <\/p>\n
