Huawei recently announced the Huawei Mate 60, Mate 60 Pro, and the Mate 60 Pro+. Well, another ‘Mate 60’ phone just got announced, the Huawei Mate 60 RS Ultimate Design.
The Huawei Mate 60 RS Ultimate Design is here, Huawei’s ultra premium phone
This is the first ‘Ultimate Design’ smartphone that the company announced. It’s basically a new high-end smartphone series or brand, whatever you want to call it. It’s supposed to sit at the very top of the food chain.
Huawei plans to use top-of-the-line materials, design choices, and specifications for this smartphone series. The company says that this is a culmination of ultimate aesthetics, ultimate craftmanship, and extreme innovation.
The Huawei Watch Ultimate Gold Edition is also a part of the series
Huawei did just present this series of devices, even though the Huawei Watch Ultimate Gold Edition was the first member of it. That smartwatch arrived quite recently, and it’s basically the Huawei Watch Ultimate with the addition of gold.
Similar to that, the Huawei Mate 60 RS Ultimate Edition is the Mate 60 Pro+, but with a different design. The specifications remain the same, which is not surprising. This series is more or less here to replace the ‘Porsche Design’ lineup that Huawei used to release.
As you can see, the Huawei Mate 60 RS Ultimate Design has an octagonal shape for its camera island. It looks entirely different than the Mate 60 Pro+ from the back. The front side is pretty much the same.
This phone has a ceramic backplate
It has a star diamond pattern on the back, and a ceramic backplate. That’s also different compared to its sibling. The second-gen Kunlun glass has proven to be quite tough in some Mate 60 series drop tests. The thing is, the edition used here is supposed to be even tougher, as it’s Xuanwu tempered Kunlun glass.
When it comes to specs, you get a 6.82-inch 2720 x 1260 display here. That’s a quad-curved OLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate. It is an LTPO display (1-120Hz), and it has a 300Hz touch sampling rate.
The Kirin 9000s fuels it, while 88W wired, and 50W wireless charging is supported
The Kirin 9000s processor fuels this smartphone, Huawei’s new SoC. The phone comes with 16GB of RAM and 512GB or 1TB of storage. A 5,000mAh battery is included, while the device supports 88W wired charging, and 50W wireless charging. 20W reverse wireless charging is also supported.
HarmonyOS 4.0 comes pre-installed here, while there are two SIM card slots included. The device does have a set of stereo speakers, and it is IP68 certified for water and dust resistance. It does have facial scanning support too, advanced facial scanning.
It has a powerful camera system with variable aperture
A 58-megapixel ultra-spot main camera (f/1.4-f/4.0 aperture, OIS) is included here. A 40-megapixel ultrawide camera (f/2.2 aperture) also sits on the back, as does a 48-megapixel telephoto unit (3.5x optical zoom, 100x digital zoom, OIS, f/3.0 aperture, super macro).
The Huawei Mate 60 RS Ultimate Design comes in Xuan black and Rui red color options. The device’s pricing starts at CNY11,999 ($1,641) in China. We’re not sure if this device will make it to more markets.
