Display Comparison

The P60 Pro boasts a significantly brighter display, peaking at 1135 nits compared to the P60's likely lower brightness (spec not explicitly provided, but generally lower than Pro models). The Pro's 'Infinite' contrast ratio suggests superior image quality, though this is a nominal value. Both likely use OLED panels with vibrant colors and excellent viewing angles.

Camera Comparison

While both offer excellent camera systems, the P60 Pro is expected to have a more advanced setup. This likely includes a larger sensor, improved telephoto lens capabilities, and potentially enhanced image processing algorithms. Both will feature Huawei's signature computational photography prowess.

Performance

Both phones share the same Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset, ensuring flagship-level performance. However, the P60 Pro has slightly higher clock speeds on its CPU cores (X2, A710, and A510), potentially translating to a marginal performance advantage in demanding tasks. Real-world difference is likely minimal.

Battery Life

Both phones boast an impressive endurance rating of 96 hours. The P60 Pro, however, features 88W wired charging, a substantial improvement over the P60's 66W. The Pro also includes reverse wireless charging, a convenient feature for topping up accessories.

Buying Guide

The Huawei P60 is ideal for users who want a flagship experience without breaking the bank, appreciate a slightly smaller form factor, and don't need the absolute best camera or charging speeds. The Huawei P60 Pro is for photography enthusiasts, power users who demand the fastest charging, and those who value a brighter, more immersive display.
