The Mate 60 Pro+ also offers users 16GB of RAM with 512GB or 1TB of storage.
Huawei unveils the Mate 60 Pro+ 5G phone
Huawei’s two previous smartphone series, last year’s Mate 50 line, and this year’s P60 models, both were powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipsets. Due to the U.S. restrictions, the chips were tweaked to prevent them from working with 5G networks. Third-party cases were available to allow users to experience 5G on the Mate 50 Pro and the P60 line, but this is not needed with the Mate 60 Pro and Mate 60 Pro+ thanks to Huawei’s breakthrough chipset.
