The Huawei P60 Pro will not be the second Android phone to sport a Dynamic Island and that’s because the manufacturer’s placement on the U.S. Entity List forced Huawei to create its own operating system a few years ago. The P60 Pro will be pre-installed with HarmonyOS 3.1. Once on the Entity List, Huawei was no longer able to source software from Google which meant that the Google Mobile Services version of Android was off-limits.

Rumored specs call for the device to carry a curved 6.6-inch AMOLED display with a 1440p (QHD+) resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. The Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset, tweaked so it won’t work with 5G signals, will be under the hood.

On the back, we could see a 50MP Sony IMX888 image sensor behind the primary camera, with a 50MP Sony IMX858 driving the ultra-wide camera and a 64MP OmniVision OV64B sensor behind the P60 Pro’s telephoto camera. The latter will offer 3.5x optical zoom. The phone will also include a 3D Time of Flight sensor and the photography system will use Huawei’s in-house XMAGE technology. A 5000mAh battery will keep the lights on and will charge at 100W wired and 50W wireless.
