Huawei has launched its latest flagship smartphone — the P60 Pro — in South Africa.
The first thing users will notice about the P60 Pro is its curved 6.67-inch 1,220 x 2,700 LPTO OLED display with an adaptable refresh rate between 1-120Hz.
The specific P60 Pro that will be on sale in South Africa features a Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chip, 8GB RAM, and 256GB of internal storage.
A rarity on flagship smartphones these days, its storage can be expanded with a nanoSD card.
Two colour options will be available locally — a more conventional Midnight Black and the distinctive Rococo Pearl.
The latter features a Mother of Pearl pattern finish that is unique to each model.
The combination of these two lenses enables the P60 Pro to absorb an impressive amount of light, even when zoomed in.
For taking sharp images while moving, both pack support optical image stabilisation.
Rounding off the rear camera configuration is a 13MP ultra-wide camera with an aperture of f/2.4 and autofocus support.
For selfies, users get a 13MP hole-punch lens with an f/2.4 aperture, support for 4,160×3,120 resolution photos and 4K video recording.
Its regular price tag will be R24,999, but those who buy the phone before 31 May 2023 will receive a R2,500 discount.

This is protected by Huawei's proprietary Kunlun glass, which the company says has 10× stronger fall protection than the regular glass used for smartphone screens.
