Huawei P60 Pro


After Huawei unveiled its P-series and foldable flagships at the end of March in China, it’s time for them come to the European market. Well, only the P60 Pro of the P-series made the trip, so it will be just it and the Mate X3 launching later this month. The Huawei P60 Pro is available in Europe and the UK starting today and comes in two configurations – 8/256GB for € 1,200/£ 1,200 and 12/512GB for € 1,400/£ 1,300.

You can choose between two colorways. The Black option has a soft touch finish. The Rococo Pearl is a unique option – this back incorporates natural mineral pearl powder to create the Mother of Pearl look. Note that in the UK, the 8/256GB model will be available only in Black and the 12/512GB one only in Rococo Pearl.

Later today you will be able to find the P60 Pro at Huawei’s online store, from May 22 it will also appear on the shelves of select retailers. The company has a deal for Brits – if you get a P60 Pro from the Huawei online store by June 5, you will receive a free Huawei Watch GT 3 (while supplies last). If you go for the 512GB version, you will also get a £100 voucher to spend in the store.

The Huawei Mate X3 will launch in Europe on May 22 and in the UK on May 26, pre-orders start today. Again, the phone will be available through Huawei’s online store as well as select retailers. There is only one configuration, which will cost you € 2,200/£ 2,000. If you get yours from the Huawei Store in the UK by June 5, you will receive a free Huawei Watch GT 3 (subject to available stock). You can choose between two colorways, though, Black (glass with a soft touch finish) and Dark Green (vegan leather).

The Mate X3 is the first phone to get dual 5-star rating from Switzerland’s SGS for its screens – the Kunlun glass that protects the cover display and the impact-resistant foldable display were both given top marks on drop resistance.

Both phones will run EMUI 13.1 out of the box and will rely on AppGallery for their software needs. With 580 million global monthly active users and 6 million registered developers, this is the third largest app store in the world, says Huawei.
