The Huawei Mate 60 Pro is a very controversial and important phone, because it's more than just a phone. It's currently the center of a US/China geopolitical beef right now. Basically, this phone came out of nowhere to run on Huawei's own SoC, an act that the US government thought was not possible. But beyond the drama, this phone has a really damn good camera too -- of course I tried it out.
And also, does this phone support 5G networks? I think it does.
Thanks to Trinity Electronics for loaning me the phone. Trinity sells the Mate 60 Pro and ships to many parts of the world. / trinityelectronic

Trinity Electronic's KZhead channel said it can use all the Google apps normally.
@@Warzone-_- So many people have run like 300 -1000m. It depends on your local telecom operators.
Is it really 7 nm? I found tech review telling it is 5 nm, with or without 5G functions. An expert do says N+2 technogy is a14 nm double density cells process emulating the 7 nm. Can you confirm which one is it the right option?
@@Warzone-_-But then can 4g run 400+ speeds indicated?
Man, I missed the time when Huawei was still competing with Samsung and Apple, those are the days..., and one day US decided to be salty af
Totally agree with you! I've used the Huawei Mate 20 Pro and Galaxy S10+ at the same time and battery life, camera performance was way better on the Mate 20 Pro. I use the S22Ultra now, but miss Huawei. If Huawei wasn't ban, I wouldn't have switched to Samsung.
Yup. And putting Apple and Samsung on a downward loser poll.
A private company vs the entire US government supported by their European puppets is just amzing. More so the Chinese govt hardly do anything . Really tough to be a successful Chinese company .
@@joelconolly5574as much as I don't like Apple, iPhone rules video.
So true!! Huawei honestly made the best phones and cameras. My Mate 20 Pro at the time was probably one of the best phones ever made from anyone.
Best thing is satellite calls because if you’re in a remote area you can still make calls if you’ve had an accident, this could be a life and death situation
That is only available in China, though.

That explains the ban

actually androids can be hacked even by high school students lmao
Go ahead using that brand. Just for you
All politics aside, I would love to see Huawei back in the UK, I was a huge fan of the product, and the moment it's back I'll be looking to get one,
I'm in UK to. I totally suggest you to crack on with Huawei. You can still buy new one(suddenly no contract deals) or use CEX. I know they are used, but it's coming with 24 months guarantee anyway. So safe deal. Literally beat Android phone in my opinion. I like that software the most
You should try, its very good
I'd love to see it back in the US as well. I'm still hanging onto my p30 lite.
4 years later, my Huawei Mate 20 is still my back up phone. It has fantastic battery life and works as smooth as the first day I got it. I'm hoping to jump back to Huawei one day.
I got my Huawei mate 30 over 3 years ago and is till working as good, have no intention to swap phone yet, but perhaps mate 60 pro or pro+ or mate X5 when the price has gone down a bit.
What a great phone it is and let's not mention good looking with a clean design. I still have my Mate 20X for media and so when I'm home 👌🏻
THis is the most HEROIC and LEGENDARY phone in the world. face-red-heart-shape
Get honor, they have a huawei adn and Google play store, I think I'm going for the honor v2, by the way me too I have a mate 20x since 4 years, it's still working perfectly, I have a slight change in battery life.
@@lasnamianis2862 I'm not sure if it's the same in every country but Huawei changed my mate20 battery for free as I ruined it thru heavy usage during COVID-19, with all those video rendering n long zoom sessions.
Do you guys remember when Huawei said "we will return in 2023", they kept their word. also about the 5G, it seems that this phone connects to a lot of CA bands, and from debugging screen wtih NR disabled speed was the same. not sure how that works but yea super impressive.
I'll be back 😁
Why China so boasting about 5G??? I have it now and does it make my life better no. Do i feel any difference with what i do? NO. It's literally the most useless thing. 4G was already enough, 5G is faster but my life doesn't get better by it. Because i also at home have 1Gigabit UP/DOWN glasfiber to my house for my regular PC...

@@juliet009 Marry me baby. I will never cheat on you, i promise.
Huawei wasn’t really on my radar until it got banned by the US. My curiosity caused me to actually try them out. Glad I did, and happy to see they’ve made lemonade out of lemons.
It was best selling company in the year it got banned. That's literally the reason it got banned.
@@skkl8045 it got banned because huawei wasnt controlled by west consortium. and they jelly af. also us set its eye on china after 2nd gulf war. no mountain can carry 2 tiger
@@skkl8045 It was best selling because it was cheap as hell.
Can't beat em ban em - UassA😂
@@skkl8045Man that's just so shameless, they saw they were losing so instead of competing they tried to kill the company... I'm sure Samsung and Apple were involved in it
Still using mate 40 pro 5g in India for 2 years now . Yes we can live without GMS especially after GBOX came it literally feels I have Google without any hiccups. All banking apps work. Device is still solid and works without any lags as I'm heavy user too. Camera can still compete with current flapships. Battery life of kirin 9000 is major highlight for me. Will be jumping ship to mate 70 or 80 series since my mate 40 pro still is as good as new.
wait those indian banks and apps work???
@@aizensama1801 yep sbi, icici, axis, yesbank, indusind, idfc first etc works and I have checked personally. For UPI apps Phonepe, amazon pay, paytm words. Gpay only not working. As per above except icici and axis all other bank and UPI apps works natively just from downloaded in apk pure. My phone now runs on emui 12.
@mothiatman…. Thanks for the info. Sensible decision.
@@aizensama1801Even Singaporean and Indonesian bank apps like DBS or online shopping apps like Shopee work on Huawei without need GMS.
Jio sim is supported? Does it support VoLte?? My mate 10 pro doesnot support jio
With all these sanctions imposed on Huawei, it is already a miracle for Huawei to survive and strive for continuous development... This is a motivation story for all developing nations who faced technology crackdown from the Global North...
What a bullshit political BS. The reality: Western machines & software are used to make this chip. SMIC uses ASML machines from the Netherlands to make these chips. The DUV can do 7nm chips. Only just low yield, the production capacity is just slow and expensive. But means it's not impossible to produce some chips at 7nm. TSMC did the same procedure with ASML DUV machines and had a test node @ 7nm

@@HermanWillems Yes, so please, USA, punish Netherland hardly!!! LMAO
Because huawei gets its funding from the Chinese government. Which is why... the world went crazy to ban them.
@@HermanWillems I'm agree with you. Let's hope US and UK punish Netherlands so hard. Until they'll bleeding and stop all the selling to the largest market in the world and better if the Dutch stop doing business at all.. 👍👍👍😜
Funny that all major youtube tech reviewers are so silent about Huawei's comeback...
Well none of them can get the phone because they are not in Hong Kong and know Trinity electronics. I have always gotten more phones than anyone
geekerwan unveil it, need caption tho
All the youtubers suddenly disappeared when Huawei Mate 60 series phone release in US media social 😂
I'm still using my P30 Pro to this day and it never ceases to amaze me. The camera is still top notch!
I'm still using my Mate 20 X after 5 years. Still love this phone. Hardware on the Mate 60 looks great. Kindest regards, Richard U.K
The last Huawei phone I used was the Mate 20 Pro. And man, i love that phone. Huawei was beating everyone in terms of innovation during those times. Makes you wonder what they would’ve achieved right now if there was no ban on them.
I still have a P30 Pro and the phone is fast, the battery last 1 and a half day, photos are good. But I need to change my phone because it won't be updated anymore and because cameraphones nowadays costs 1,000€ (I paid 549€ for the P30 Pro in 2019), it will be a real pain in the a... to find a flagship paying a human price.
😂我的也是，现在还在用，换了一个电池
I'm writing this comment using my mate 20pro. Almost five years later still fast enough for what I need.
No gloating. Move onto photonic graphene chips to make silicone obsolete.
I m still with my Huawei Mate 10 pro... Looking forward to get Mate 60 pro + 😬👍
Look at what Huawei developed during the past 4 years of sanction: Harmony OS (for smartphone and IoT), Guass DB (proprietary full stack software and hardware), EDA (14nm 100% certified, advanced process under testing), Meta ERP (to replace SAP), Kirin 5G SOC, Lithography related technology, 5.5G technology, Kun Peng AI Processor, Pangu AI Models 3.0, Euler OS (for servers). Now you know what a tech giant Huawei is.
That’s amazing
😮😊
This phone is lame
@@taran5209how so? Care to elaborate?
Because his opinion.
From the standpoint of the consumer is actually great that the US tried to kick Huawei to the curb.. Now they're back with their own software and hardware and thats REAL competition (better than being just another Android phonemaker). They're not quite there yet but its only a matter of time...
I bought Huawei phone, tablet and router years ago, till today they are working absolutely excellent, their built quality is premium second to none. Usually most Android phones work slower after years of usage but Huawei is just working same fast as brand new.
This is a georgeous device. I had the Mate 40 Pro, and it was awesome, but this is even better.
Just out of interest how was the experience of using the P40, which was launched after the ban? Live in the UK and still using my P20 as was last one before the ban? Struggling to upgrade as can't download most Apps I need day to day directly from Huawei Galary.
This one is way ahead on something!
This is one of the most beautiful phones I've ever seen. Personally, I hope Huawei get back on their feet soon. The smartphone game's been missing the competition Huawei brings to the table.
She’s back and way ahead lol
Competition leads to progress
Xiaomi and Oppo are better than overpriced Huawei
Nobody is buying this dog shit 😂
@@user-gb6yy3eo2pdesign... Yeah, i agreed 50%, it still have some points of imrpovements, but the systems and the normal usages, its real good
Indeed my mate 20 pro which runs on kirin is by far my best handphone so far. I've not bought a new unit since my wife gifted me this phone. It has served me with utmost reliability. I play moderately demanding games without distinct lag. Well done Huawei. Keep progressing onwards.
since Spring 2020 I'm using HUAWEI P30 PRO.. it works amazing. in last few months just the battery drains a little bit, but much better than most of today's flagship phones compare to price. US government afraid of Huawei
Replace the battery. It will be as good as new. I personally replaced mine.
I’m in the US and if this supports the local 4G/5G bands then I’ll be buying this in green. So tired of iPhone. Ben, I bought the P40 Pro Plus after your review and it was my favorite phone ever. Keep up the great work!
But your folks all have volte networks right? That will be difficult.
I found out that it is prohibited to use in the USA.
I heard ip15 not much differ from 14.... We need competition 😂
Pay attention to the elephant in the room 😂
@@DavidLeicamFotografianah government employees can’t use it; especially those of us with clearances. Rest of the general population can use it if they can find a suitable carrier. It’s also very expensive and the lack of support kind of makes it not a very popular option.
Huawei doing 5G better than the west and US decides to cease their operations just goes to shows how fast Huawei's innovations are compared to even the west. And shows how better Chinese are at innovating and reverse engineering. Outside of that, I do think Huawei has better connectivity than even Samsung, Apple, Google and some Chinese brands. Going back to my hometown or some rural areas I do noticed how good reception is with Huawei than others since I can still get some receptions while others are dead. As for this phone, somehow the triple camera punch hole still looks cleaner than the iPhone 14 Pro's dynamic island. It's actually my favourite design choices of this phone.
I agree, my Mate 20 Pro had significantly better connectivity than my Samsung. What the USA has done to Huawei will be studied by academics in years to come.
Reverse engineering 🤡 the West just can't compete
I completely agree with you on this, from my own personal experience having owned several phones over the years from various brand's Huawei has always been rock solid with their connectivity, phone reception has been better for me than Samsung or other Chinese brands!
My mate 20 basic is still as fast as the day they released.
It's all about how much R&D one company wants to put in. The more, the better (more signal reception capability). China has cost advantage, compared to western countries; plus, the market expectation (China AND BRICS+ AND BRI countries) is larger, thus, able to sell more, thus Return on Investment is easier than their western counterparts.
Great description and explanation of the tele-macro function and usage/comparison. Thanks!
Thanks to your reviews got myself a Mate X3 loving it
Massive thanks to Ben for bringing in this phone and reviewing it!
I'm still using my mate 20X. It has more than 3 years now and it's still smooth. I was sad, 3 years ago when they started cutting the huawei's wings. I think it was just a loss for the consumers. Well done huawei!!! Thx for the vid!
I had my 20x for 3 years and dropped and smashed it 2 years ago...the best phone i have ever had. I wouldn't have upgraded it for 10 years if it didn't break and google didn't kill it
i need them make another giant phone. My last big phone is Honor note 10 (7.2"), there is no current large phone i can buy.
@@yiyue23 Ben has a review of the vivo x note. It has 7', a little smaller than our mate 20x and your honor note 10. But, if you don't want a foldable, it's the only one that we got. If i whould need to change my phone now, I'd buy that one. It has google services, SD 8.1, good battery and good camera. And a price around 800 bucks. The only think that I don't like of it is the curved display. 😊
the great part about the zoom macro is the phone won't block all your lighting and cause shadows too
Looking forward to your full review!
Can't wait for the hands-on video of Mate X5
I really hope huawei comes back stronger. They really we're leading leading innovative smartphone company, I really loved the versatility of huawei flagships
Keep up the great work Bennie - you are the best at getting us consumer's all the info we need to make smart purchase decisions. We rely on you!!!
Love the content you put out👌🏾 Out of the three what would you go for mix fold 3 vs2 or huawei new fold
Watching this on my mate 20 pro, still works as it was when I bought it in 2018.
It's the phone of the century. The phone is causing a 'popcorn effect ' . The phone is the pan while the US ( including all the media ) are like popcorn in the pan . As soon as the corn is being cooked, the corn begins to jump about.
Popcorn effect 😂, I like this analogy!
I remember very well when huawei said we are like a aeroplane flying with holes, but if we manage to fix those, no one is going stop us
It's about time, have been waiting for your review 👏👏👏
Huawei King 💪 Glad to see them back with the Kirin processor. As always a great device from Huawei. Nice job Ben 👍
I've owned 3 Huawei phones, absolutely the best phones I've ever owed hands down.
My p20 pro still going strong ❤
P30 user, the cameras were always the selling point. Great images. Seriously looking at the Mate 60.
Solid looking phone from your review, thank you! I've long wanted a Mate phone since the Mate 30 so I'm hoping to get one. Wish you'd talked about the phone design a bit more, am a bit saddened to see the waterfall edge curve is now almost gone, is that right?
Yesss ,nice to see Huawei getting back to quality technology, interested to see their hardware enhancements going forward like camera ,software,screen! Thanks Ben ,I've been waiting for this ,keep up the great work
My God, please correct your punctuations!
smartphone business is a small piece of Huawei's cake, their main game is elsewhere
even without 5G, huawei still at the top of the game in terms of hardware.... all it's missing was their Kirin 5G chip and now it's back
@@fatdoi003 Huawei hardware always on top of the game. Their only shortcomings are from the software side.
@@mechannel7046 Yes.. Give him a low grade and punishment!! Hail the Englanders.. Hail the Englanders language!!! 👍👍😂
They just dropped the Mate 60 Pro+, so you might want to pass by that Trinity shop again :D The only hardware differences are an f/3.0 lens (vs f/3.5 on the Pro), and 40MP vs 12MP UWA camera. This means the upgraded zoom camera should get even better bokeh.
Need to wait until official launch. It won't be on stock afaik. I also tried to get my hands on this one.
Also pro+ has difrrent main sensor.
And X5 foldable 😂
They both have the same f/3.0 aperture for the zoom lens. Only difference between the two is the ultrawide. I wonder why the didn't use the same f/2.1 aperture as the P60 Pro had, maybe it's a different sensor?
@@lltechview do you use aliexpress sir?
Purchased the Mate 10 pro. My experience made me want to always purchase every Mate series. Because of Google's restrictions and my line of work in Trinidad and Tobago I had to discontinue Huawei's use. If there's a way that I can utilize Huawei in my zone, then without a doubt I'd be purchasing the Huawei Mate 60 pro.
How about Gbox?
Was looking forward to this! ✨ I'm still waiting for that in-depth review of P60 Pro and replies to your stories requesting the same whenever your share those stunning results on I.G. Not sure why you haven't released it yet apart from that one single hands on video and you are one of those few legit KZheadr who still values tech like Huawei's. Please do an in-depth now comparing with Mate 60 pro please.
Good video especially the explanation. Good summary. Mine came yesterday. First impressions pretty interesting design. The camera seems to be on par with P60 Pro and maybe even the Mate 50 Pro. Just the telephoto is better than the Mate 50 Pro and the main better than Mate 50 Pro and P60 Pro as they fixed the AF with wide open aperture. I also like the straightend up display and the round edges of the phone. And my black version is using metal and vegan leather. Very unique and different from the slab phones of others. I also like the 5G support that works fine here in Germany as well.
so you're getting 5G in Germany too? does it say 5G on the upper right corner or blank like my unit?
@@bensgadgetreviews It is blank. I just tested the speed and compared with the same sim in my Mate X3. (See my video at 14:08) According to some sources of mine Huawei will add 5G Logo in the statusbar after the official launch event on the 12th of september with an update)
How about GMS? Just kidding
@@samuelmoreira7989 GBox works fine. I am not kidding
there's working around
Cant wait for the next iteration of their soc. Not bad performance for their 1st attempt.
Huawei launched another two phones, one exceeds 1g.
Watching this on my Huawei p30, after all this years the battery still work like day one, I experience no performance issue with 95% of all apps. Camera still taking sharp photos. My next phone will be another Huawei
一直在等你更新，终于看到了😂😂😂
I've been waiting for a video about Mate 60 pro from you sir, you are my trusted mobile tech reviewer. Looking forward to a more detailed review of this device soon! ❤ thank you and God bless you more
I used to love getting Huawei phones here in NYC at B&H.
Good video to show the features of this phone. Definitely will buy one and X5 if they are available in Hong Kong👍
Love your work bro...what a clear explanation
This is no pro-China, pro-US comment, just a tech enthusiast. It's despicable though, that politicians although dividing people through warmongering and forever wars have now brought the hurt to people in civilian daily life and technology. I've never envisaged this. I'm ok with competition, fair competition, but by getting to work and creating the better product and let the consumer decide. If we're taking this political rivalry across many different sectors then it crushes my optimism for a safe, peaceful future.
I loved my Mate 30 Pro. I have a Fold 5 but really wanted the mate fold series.
Excellent video buddy you earned a sub from me. You need to polish your production a bit though, there is a very annoying squeaking in the background and the video edits are very noticeable. You described the product with soul though which most videos don't, they just list off specs so well done there. thanks again.
The survival of Huawei is a David vs Golith story we can all relate. Hopefully someday we will see a movie about it... Well done Huawei! Hopefully I will be able to get my hands of such a beautiful and symbolic piece of Tech.
It's amazing what Huawei can do. I think from now on the only way is up for Huawei.
To be fair, they couldn't get much worse, so up is about the only direction they could fo.
I enjoyed the content more than I thought especially the indept review of the feud between the US government and China. Politics can be nasty, all we want is an open market and not monopoly
Nice review, thanks Ben 👍 the 3.5x lens is definitely impressive
Great video, love your view into products and background of them. Sub!
Thank you!
Ben thank you very much for the information, and a very clear honest view of Huawei's situation.
Great Ben, on top of things, as usual!
I held this phone today and the display and camera are incredible 😮
Still using my Huawei P30 pro many years later. Had other phones too, but Huawei is my default phone and favourite by far.
Amazing hand on video as always Ben's brother
You never dissapoint us. Thank you for the information .
Mate 60 Pro runs so so so smoothly. When I have four big games open at the same time, I switch from one to another with no lag. Really amazing! User experience is more important than test data to me. Moreover, the huge battery and fast charge as always.
lol Every other phone did that over 2 years ago.
The apple and sumsung battery and fast charge is not as good as Huawei. Moreover, Huawei has world's first satellite call, a camera like a telescope and better signal even under the basement. And to me, I love the appearance of Huawei. @@SourVodka

I'm still using my Mate 20 Pro. It's been 5 years and the phone just rocks. I love it.
That's the most esthetically appealing front facing camera I've ever seen.
This is the most awesome I've seen all year. The tech crammed into this thing is just amazing even if the chip itself is 7nm. My mate 40 pro will outclass the mate 60 in terms of raw power but thats about it. The only thing I'm having second thoughts about is that somewhat flat display. Im used to curved panels for that better ergonomics and in-hand feel.
Do you happen to get notifications for all apps? Looking to order one to use in the UK.
great phone great video. was looking forward for your review
That zoom lens looks really good.... I may try to upgrade my Huawei on my next trip to China.
I want to see how it makes satellite phone calls. That's an amazing feature!

Great intro Ben, very balanced and fair
That was a very good recap of the political situation for Huawei, props to you!
the symbol of resistance and hardworking spirit.
Wow! I am impressed! I hope this means that Huawei is back to stay! Maybe this will teach the Apples, googles and Samsungs of the world that innovation in the smartphone market is not dead! And that competition is back! I love the new camera tech! Maybe this will teach the other companies that you can actually do more with your product than just releasing the same IPhone 11 clone year and year again.
So what was the innovation in this phone? What does it do that other phones don't?

Honestly this is a great thing in my opinion. Huawei has proven how true dedication to make a good product affects the market. They can sanction all they want they will keep innovating and showing the hypocrisy of big tech. I see that as a huge win for both technology improvements and customers. We should demand more from big tech, and allow for free market and constant innovation. They are just smarter.
I used my P20 Pro for 4 years... Gave it to my parents and it's still going strong. What Huawei should do is sell phones with unlocked bootloaders again, let us nerds install whatever OS we want on it.
I love its design, the back panel is my most favourite!
Great stuff as usual!!! 💪🏼 4:11 not only you - all of us, the geek and not only guys... 🤬 PS.: The Z fold on table ⚖️ is just lol PPS.: The whistle (/or whatever is making the sound) in the background is a bit annoying though 😏
Nice to see Huawei back in the competition, probably not affecting the NA market but at least for China market (and anyone who willing to use Harmony OS)

Ben, always enjoyed your reviews. Thanks! I'm quite interested in this Huawei Mate 60 Pro as well. However, one major talking point about this phone that you failed to mention is the satellite call function. No doubt, you probably can't use it outside of China, but it's the 1st phone to have such a function. Also, so glad Huawei is making a comeback. Samsung has been getting lazy on top of the android world without Huawei challenging them. On the other hand, it seems Huawei is totally doing away with google. So even with Huawei back in the game, Samsung is still not being challenged. Xiaomi, Vivo and Oppo will have to work harder to achieve that.
Actually Huawei Mate 60 pro do can run google service, I watched a video from Trinity Electronics(the same phone importer that mentioned in this video) and they managed to connect to google service, here is the link. check out 1:45: kzhead.info/sun/o8yipKqtomeQpWw/bejne.html&ab_channel=%E4%B8%89%E7%A6%BE%E9%9B%BB%E6%B0%A3TrinityElectronicHK

I didn't know using satellite calls function can be free?! Since when?
This phone looks like a true winner! I like the way it looks at the back and that tele macro camera would be absolutely amazing for my garden pictures and videos. Still have the luck of getting to enjoy My Mate 20x. Would love to see you audition the new Mate series in California.

I have been waiting for a discussion on Apps available for the Harmony OS used in this phone. You have come closest with a small note at the end of your video. It appears you said that Harmony OS cannot use Apps designed for Android. As a modern phone is now used for many other uses than just a phone or camera, it appears this phone has a way to go to offer a genuine alternative to an Android or iPhone. I hope this does not take long, as I would willing have one of these phones if I knew it could have access to alternative Apps.
It sucks so bad that Huawei is in its position. I've had to use my old Huawei Mate 20 Pro from 5 years ago when I sent my fold 4 for repair.. other than the camera, some tiny stutters and 60hz display, the phone is still great even today!
