Display Comparison

Both phones feature a 6.6-inch OLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, offering vibrant colors and smooth scrolling. The P60 Art might have slightly better color accuracy due to Huawei's calibration, but the difference is minimal. The Mate 50 RS Porsche Design's design might subtly impact the viewing experience due to its unique curves, but it's a minor factor.

Camera Comparison

The P60 Art generally has a slight edge in camera performance. While both offer excellent image quality, the P60 Art's XMAGE image processing and potentially slightly improved sensor hardware contribute to more detailed and vibrant photos, especially in challenging lighting conditions. The Mate 50 RS Porsche Design's camera is still excellent, but the P60 Art is the more versatile option.

Performance

Powered by the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1, both phones deliver exceptional performance for demanding tasks and gaming. Expect seamless multitasking and smooth app launches. There's no significant performance difference between the two.

Battery Life

The P60 Art's 88W wired charging is a game-changer, allowing for incredibly fast charging times. The Mate 50 RS Porsche Design's 66W wired charging is still respectable, but noticeably slower. Both offer 50W wireless charging and 5W reverse wireless charging.

Buying Guide

The Mate 50 RS Porsche Design is for those who prioritize exclusivity, a distinctive design, and are willing to pay a premium for the Porsche collaboration. The Huawei P60 Art is ideal for users seeking a top-tier camera, blazing-fast charging, and a more balanced blend of features and value.
