The Huawei P60 Pro – Aesthetics and technology
Huawei's P series has come a long way since its launch in South Africa over a decade ago. It has adapted to the constantly evolving world of smartphones to offer consumers the cutting-edge technology they need. The Huawei P60 and P60 Pro, its latest iteration, are no exception to the rule.
The latest range introduces a new design philosophy, with the new Rococo Pearl finish. It is a blend of modern technology and 18th century French artistic style. It creates an aesthetically superior design where no two devices are alike.
In addition, the new curved quad screen offers pleasing images to the consumer. Not only does the curved screen deliver great images, but it also contributes to the immersive experience. It makes it easier to watch movies, games and more.
However, the most notable feature of the Huawei P60 series is its ability to take photos. Huawei has created an Ultra Lighting telephoto lens to capture all your precious moments with great clarity and accurate colors. Even if you are outside at night in a dimly lit environment, the camera is more than capable of capturing the moment with unparalleled ability.
In addition, for users who enjoy outdoor activities, the brand has improved the durability of the device thanks to Kunlun glass. This technology allows you to enjoy your outings without worrying about accidents thanks to its resistance to falls.
Finally, its 4,815 mAh battery will keep you active throughout your life. It allows you to carry out a whole day of activities, from your morning workout to your nighttime outings to capturing images. With its ultra-fast 88W SuperCharge feature, you can be ready to go in no time if you need a quick charge.
