Huawei Mate60 Pro, cured my "big screen fear"
It is said that consumer electronics users have three classic flags: XX model to change the battery for another three years, buy the next generation, and small-screen flagship YYDS.
But you know, Flag came out to punch in the face. Those who quarrel to change the battery and fight again often go to buy a new machine as soon as possible; And insist that they are small-screen mobile phone enthusiasts, and often can't resist the temptation of large screens and abandon small mobile phones. Otherwise, Apple will not directly cut the "mini" product line from the iPhone 14 series.

As a mini series of small screen enthusiasts, the author still has to use almost the same value as the machine to replace the accidentally damaged screen with a cost almost the same value as the machine, which can be said to be a true love fan.
Until I recently used the Huawei Mate 60 Pro for a month, I found that in fact, the large-screen mobile phone is not impossible, right?
Size really matters
When a person, from the mini's 5.4-inch screen, suddenly jumps to a 6.82-inch high-swipe screen, it should be understandable to encounter some shocks.
When I first saw the Huawei Mate 60 Pro, the author's thought was: "Everything is too big". Compared with Huawei's new machine, the mini model in his hand has directly become a toy. Put the two phones together, and the picture is even a little joyful.
But strangely, the weight of the Huawei Mate 60 Pro in the hand must be much larger, but it is not so difficult to hold, or "not with the hand".
The 6.82-inch non-curved screen looks very impactful|Geek Park
The reason is that Huawei's new machine does not use the curved screen of previous generations of products, but returns to the straight screen, while the matte material of the middle frame increases friction and improves the safety factor. The feel of the Huawei Mate 60 Pro is reminiscent of the iPhone 6s series many years ago, but it feels even better than the latter due to its slightly thicker thickness.
The author got the "Yachuan Qing" color matching model, which can be regarded as the main color of the new Mate 60 series of machines, and the actual effect looks very out of the circle - "Qing" is a very Chinese color matching, which is very in line with the Chinese people's fantasy of "classical beauty".
The black "star ring" shaped camera module on the back and the cyan back shell are not obtrusive, and the bulge of the camera module does not look exaggerated under certain light and shadow effects. In terms of design, the Huawei Mate 60 Pro is the kind of degree that people can't help but want to take a few photos and post on social media to show off.
On the front, the 6.82-inch, FHD+ 2720 × 1260 pixel OLED screen used by Huawei Mate 60 Pro makes the author using the mini series like Grandma Liu of "Village Tongnet", and the delicate and colorful display of this screen cannot be taken away, and the LTPO refresh rate of up to 120 Hz also makes the effect of fast web browsing better.

The consequence of the screen victory is that the author's screen time skyrocketed during the trial period - it seems that the eyes are really not deceptive.
Without using the film for nearly a month, Huawei Mate 60 Pro's second-generation Kunlun glass does not have any scratches, it seems that if it is not deliberately subjected to brute force testing, even if it is not filmed, the hardness of this outer screen glass is enough to reassure users.
Huawei Mate 60 Pro camera module is indeed "prominent"|Geek Park
What worries the author a little is the camera module behind, because it is too prominent, so that when placed on the desktop, the upper part of the entire fuselage is cocked at an angle, so it may be a safe choice to bring a protective case.
But the camera module is prominent, and there is also an unexpected advantage, that is, without using the "finger button bracket", you can also put your index finger against the lower edge of the lens module, so that the holding hand can be relaxed.
The system and ecology are more important
Huawei Mate 60 series mobile phones are stable in terms of appearance design, probably because the team knows that what really wins consumers is not hardware, or not only hardware, but software and ecology. The Huawei Hongmeng 4.0 system, which has just been released, is the killer feature of Huawei mobile phones, not only the new Mate 60 series.
A few weeks after the launch of the Harmony 4.0 system, the Huawei team has pushed several small system updates, almost once a week, allowing the author to feel the fun of "cultivating electronic fans".
From animation effects to widgets to live windows, the Harmony 4.0 system is a big surprise, at least at the aesthetic level, let users love it.

Due to the use of 1-120Hz intelligent refresh rate screen, Huawei Mate 60 Pro of course supports the screen always-on display AOD. At the same time, on the AOD page, users have quite a few choices. Because the mobile phone has a function, it is to detect the user's line of sight, and when the user's line of sight is found, the phone screen off display will appear.
The scary thing about this function is that when your gaze, even if you unintentionally scan the phone, the latter will light up the screen, giving people the feeling that their pet cat responds to the shovel officer, making you want to reach out and "stroke".
It is no exaggeration to say that this function can at least double the time spent on the user's mobile phone, and the author, who believes that he has weak willpower, has to turn off the screen display in the later stage, otherwise this manuscript may not come out.

Foreign competitors have Smart Island, and the Harmony 4.0 system has a "live window" function, some information and applications that need to be displayed in real time, can be permanently in the time area in the upper left corner of the screen. However, at present, in addition to system applications such as recording and stopwatch, applications such as Aviation Travel Vertical and Horizontal can be tried, and the actual use effect is not bad.
Of course, the biggest advantage of the Harmony system is actually to unify Huawei's 1+8+N family bucket under one system, and the data transmission and interaction between different devices are smoother. Unfortunately, the author does not have a tablet or laptop device at hand, and I have not been able to experience the interaction between Huawei Mate 60 Pro mobile phone and computer and Pad products, otherwise this article may progress faster.
Normal photo mode: Dark detail control is acceptable|Geek Park
In terms of photography, the Huawei Mate 60 Pro is equipped with 1 main camera of 50 million pixels, a wide angle of 12 million pixels, and a macro telephoto of 48 million pixels. In actual use, the photo effect in normal mode is good, after turning off special effects such as beauty, the color and detail restoration of the photo is relatively in place, and it will not be "algorithm flavor" is very heavy; It can still be shot at 10x telephoto, but the effect is difficult to guarantee, so it should be a pleasure.
The author found that the most playable photo mode may be the "large aperture" mode. In many scenes, the extra-focus effect is still acceptable, and some are very "calculated". Of course, if you are not satisfied, you can also choose the degree of bokeh directly in the editing mode and DIY a photo yourself.
The calculation taste in night mode is slightly heavier|Geek Park
Although it is equipped with a large battery of 5000 mAh·h, due to the large screen, if you are a moderate and heavy user, two charges a day are still essential. However, with the official 88 W super fast charge, plugging in the line to charge between baths or meals can greatly alleviate battery life anxiety. The author calculated that from 10% to 90%, Huawei Mate 60 Pro shared 19 minutes, so power is not the biggest problem.
In the early system versions, Huawei Mate 60 Pro will feel warm from time to time, even if the recalculation application is not running at that time, with the system iteration, the heat control is much better. However, if you are a mobile game player, it is estimated that it is better to have a protective case.
After two weeks of experience, the author did not feel any cross-system inconvenience, which just proved the performance of the Harmony 4.0 system. It is believed that over time, the Hongmeng ecology will become more mature, and the system may have a greater competitive advantage than competing products.
At least, Huawei's new machine makes the author, who is accustomed to using the Apple system and is a small-screen enthusiast, itch to think: Maybe it's time to change the ecology and change the large-screen mobile phone?
