Will the Mate 60 series have HarmonyOS 3.1 installed as did the P60 line? Or will the company have HarmonyOS 3.2 available by then? We should see the Mate 60 models offer satellite connectivity in China with users able to send and receive text messages in areas without cellular signals. Last year’s Mate 50 Pro introduced Low Battery Emergency Mode which with the battery life at 1% still allows users to make up to 12 minutes of phone calls or have three hours of standby time. We should see that feature return in 2023.
The Mate 50 Pro also debuted Huawei’s Kunlun glass which is designed to protect the screen from scratches and from drops. Last year’s flagship (and this year’s P60 phones) from Huawei also featured the manufacturer’s in-house XMAGE photography platform after its partnership with optical firm Leica expired. And the Mate 50 Pro also offered water resistance to 6 meters (over 19 feet).
