Huawei Mate 60 Pro Plus rumoured to start at over US$1,200 with 512 GB and 1 TB storage options available

Alleged pricing for the rumoured Mate 60 Pro Plus has surfaced online, only a few days after details about the device first emerged online. To recap, Huawei is expected to have designed the Mate 60 Pro Plus with the Kirin 9000S and a quad-punch hole display. For reference, the Kirin 9000S has 8 CPU cores and 12 threads, with Huawei employing single-threaded efficiency cores and twin-threaded performance cores like Intel.

Reportedly, Huawei will sell the Mate 60 Pro Plus with 16 GB of RAM and 512 GB or 1 TB of storage, underlining its premier positioning in its Mate 60 product stack. Unsurprisingly, the Mate 60 Pro Plus will cost considerably more than the Mate 60 and Mate 60 Pro, which start at CNY 5,999 (~US$819) and CNY 6,999 (~US$955), respectively. By contrast, the Mate 60 Pro Plus may cost at least CNY 8,999 (~US$1,228) with 512 GB of storage.

For context, Huawei charges CNY 1,000 (~US$136) more for the 1 TB version of the Mate 60 than its 512 GB counterpart. Thus, we imagine that Huawei would apply the same uplift to the Mate 60 Pro Plus in its 1 TB guise. If that is the case, then the device could top out at CNY 9,999 (~US$1,365). In other words, the Mate 60 Pro Plus could prove to be one of the most expensive smartphones around, although it may not even be the priciest Mate 60 series model. Reputedly, Huawei will eventually introduce an RS Ultimate Design variant too; typically, RS models retail for more than their regular counterparts.
