Huawei Mate 60 Pro debuts with three punch holes in the display

 Huawei has taken everyone by surprise with the unexpected launch of the Mate 60 Pro, foregoing the usual extensive teaser campaign or major event. This new smartphone is now available for pre-order on Vmall, the company's online store in China, allowing local customers to reserve their units.

The standout feature of the Mate 60 Pro is the trio of punch holes embedded in the display, housing both the selfie camera and the 3D Time-of-Flight (ToF) sensor. Beyond this, the phone represents an evolutionary upgrade from its predecessor.
