It was last July 2021 when the Huawei P50 and P50 Pro were announced in China (while end of 2021 outside their hometown).

After almost two years, Huawei has finally revealed the latest successor of their ever-popular P-series with three models in the lineup.

P60 and P60 Pro

Just like its predecessors, the newest P60 and P60 Pro share almost the same hardware as one another.

Their new Huawei “Immersion” curved display measures at 6.67-inch with a Full HD+ resolution and based on the LTPO OLED technology. It has a dynamic 1~120Hz refresh rate and also supports DCI-P3 wide color gamut plus 1.07 Billion Colors. It’s also TÜV Rheinland certified. Hiding behind that punch-hole cutout is a 13MP f/2.4 ultra-wide angle (UWA) front camera.

Looking at the inside, it has a flagship-grade Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset and Adreno 730. However, just like the past P50 series (and even the Mate 50 series) smartphones, it’s only limited to 4G connectivity so take that in mind if you’re a heavy 5G user.

Speaking of, both phones now feature satellite communication technology. This enables a user to send and receive messaged when there’s no ground signal. However, this will be limited to China as the services relies on BeiDou.

Battery capacities aren’t that different with a 4816mAh capacity. To make them significantly different from one another, the P60 only has Huawei’s 66W SuperCharge feature while the Pro variant has a speedier 88W SuperCharge capability. Both phones also have IP68 water and dust resistance rating but only the Pro variant is equipped with Huawei’s in-house Kunlun Glass protection.

Huawei China did not state anything about its RAM configurations but both phones rely on a UFS 3.1 storage. The P60 is available in a base 128GB variant while the P60 Pro starts at 256GB. These phones max out at 512GB. Storage expansion of up to 256GB is still available with Huawei’s NM (NanoMemory) Card.

Lastly, these two phones almost share the same set of cameras. Pretty much like the Mate 50 and Mate 50 Pro, you’ll get its newest 48MP main (wide) camera with a Dual Variable aperture system that switches between f/1.4-4.0 for shooting flexibility. They also have the same 13MP f/2.2 ultra-wide cameras.

So what’s the dealbreaker? The Huawei P60 has a 12MP f/3.4 periscope telephoto lens that optically zooms in to 5x. Meanwhile, the P60 Pro has a 48MP f/2.1 telephoto lens that has an optical zoom of 3.5x. Kind of confusing options from Huawei but it is what it is.

P60 Art

For those who want the best in Huawei’s latest P-series flagship series, the P60 Art is the one to get.

Display size isn’t different at 6.67-inches with the same display technology as the other two plus the P60 Pro’s Kunlun glass. IP68 rating and support for satellite communication are also present as we all expected.

Aside from display, specs weren’t changed too such as the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 4G chipset and Adreno 730 GPU. Albeit, it has a larger 1TB storage capacity aside from the 512GB base model. Moreover, its cameras (both rear and front) are very similar to what the P60 Pro offers but replace that 12MP ultra-wide camera with a 40MP of the same aperture.

Unlike the P60 and P60 Pro, the P60 Art features a more heavier Silicon-Carbon battery with a capacity of 5100mAh. Still, it has the 88W Huawei SuperCharge capability of its Pro sibling.

Pricing and Availability

The Huawei P60 and P60 Pro are neither different in color offerings. They’re both available in Green, Black, Violet, and the special Rococo Pearl variant. Meanwhile, the Huawei P60 Art only has two colorways in either Azure Blue or Seashore Gold.

The P60 and P60 Pro are available for pre-orders starting March 30, 2023 (Thursday) while the P60 Art on April 7, 2023 (Friday).

Ubisoft co-founder dies in plane crash

Claude Guillemot was one of five brothers that founded Ubisoft.

Claude Guillemot, one of the four co-founders of Ubisoft, has died last week in a plane crash. He was 69 years old.

As reported via Bloomberg, Guillemot died alongside the plane’s other passenger. They both died in La Baule in France.

Regardless of how you feel about the company today, Ubisoft is still an undeniable reason why RPGs are so popular. In 1984, Guillemot started the company with his four brothers. Since then, it’s become a household name for gaming. Its portfolio includes Assassin’s Creed, Prince of Persia, Splinter Cell, Anno, and Far Cry. Despite the prolific resume, the company is currently struggling to recreate the magic that made it so popular over a decade ago. Its current efforts include remaking Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag, which launches next month.

Though Claude might not be your first thought when thinking of Ubisoft, the company is still owned by the family, headed by his brother Yves. Claude, however, was the chairman of Guillemot Corp.

“Ubisoft was deeply saddened to learn of the death of Claude Guillemot, co-founder of the group and chairman of Guillemot Corp., in an accident. Our thoughts are with his family and loved ones during this difficult time. No further statements will be made at this time,” Ubisoft said about his passing.

No new CMF phones this year, Nothing confirms

But Nothing still has a phone scheduled later this year.

Published

June 22, 2026

For the past few years, Nothing kept launching smartphone after smartphone. Further, every new iteration felt like a reinvention, rather than just a modest upgrade. Unfortunately, all good things must come to an end, including Nothing’s streak. This year, after announcing that we won’t get a Phone (4), Nothing has announced that CMF is also skipping 2026 for a hopefully better 2027.

Now, whenever there’s bad news about delayed phone launches, there’s only one culprit. The ongoing RAM crisis is wreaking havoc across the entire industry. Because of the AI industry’s desperate need to stockpile chips, consumer-friendly devices find themselves with a scarcity of components, leading to delays or price increases.

Recently, in a moment of transparency, Nothing’s Akis Evangelidis confirms that CMF will not launch a new phone this year. Citing more of the same, he says that “with memory prices where they are right now, we can’t build a phone that feels like a genuine step forward at a price that makes sense for CMF.”

As a tease, Evangelidis did say that the brand is currently working on a sequel to the CMF Phone 2 Pro. Unfortunately, it’s going to take longer for the phone to come out.

All that said, there is a silver lining. Evangelidis concludes the announcement by also confirming that Nothing still has something up its sleeve. “The smartphone launch season at Nothing isn’t over yet,” he said.

This is a huge deal. Previously, Nothing’s Carl Pei said that the Phone (4) isn’t coming out this year. Even with the Phone (4a)’s launch already done and dusted, the brand still has something left in the tank.
