Huawei P60 Pro review

The Huawei P60 Pro enters an over-saturated smartphone niche where many companies are trying to claim the top cameraphone spot. Once a pioneer in the segment, Huawei has become a sort of uncompetitive competitor due to the US sanctions and technology restrictions. And yet, it's still here, with a brand-new Huawei P60 Pro, which brings a camera you would probably love.
Check out our video review to learn ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW about the phone's top features, build and screen quality, battery life, performance, and camera image quality.

I love that Huawei comes up with unique camera designs. They seem to be trend setters on that front.

[@lankari1]

1 thing that the test does not mention, and is of importance: While charging (with cable), can you use the touch-screen? I have now 3 Huweis, and all of them have the same problem: No matter what charger of what cable I use, the touching of the screen while charging makes it crazy. Nothing works as wanted, it reacts completely crazy to any try to hit a wanted area in the screen. Impossible to use while in charge.

as of right now I'm using huawei while charging, it's work just fine. maybe yours have product issue and or defect?

[@technoartfest8708]

But it have a totally new Operating sysmpem HArmony OS away of US companies spying on your private data and away from tracking you . US companies can spy on you without your authorization. most popular applications in Google have alternatives in Harmony OS , aside you can pass aplications from google store to any Huawei new phone through a friend with an android phone or through any Huawei store . also many of the most popular applications in android can be downloaded from their own developers websites , bypassing the censorship of entering google services. LOL. The lack of 5G however that however is not a small thing , means slower internet speeds. IN real practice however true 5G speeds vary from telephone carriers internet providers a lot. The real problem with 5G is that US blackmail countries to not allow Huawei modem antennas in their countries ,so even if china include the 5G receiver it will not work if no 5G provider. IN China and Russia and countries that did not follow US sanctions is not a problem. As a matter of fact the Fastest 5G network in the world is the one that China have and they have the majority of patents of 5G in the world . True 5G speeds only are produced by CHina . What the west did was more an upgraded 4G that they call it 4.3G.. instead of true 5G. The speeds China can achieve in true 5G are way superior than European version of "5G". that is much slower than chinese one. All said in the end most people will not miss not having Google services and 5G in their countries is in reality 4.3G hack. Like 5G light.. and not True 5G like huawei have with way faster internet speed. I have a 5G samsung ultra phone with internet service of the latest ones that is 5G and trust me , and i do have al and i also have internet at home that is 100 megabit connection. and my phone internet speed is significantly slower ,so much that i do my software updates using my 4G home internet. t. So western 5G is propaganda at best. not True 5G. If you want true 5G ,you need to live in ASIA or that China is allowed to build their 5G anthennas in your country. 5G speeds can be as fast as 1terabit speed , this is 10x times the speed of a 100 megabit connection.
