Tips

culture
Huawei's business-class flagship, positioning itself against the iPhone Pro and Samsung Galaxy S Ultra. The 2023 Mate 60 Pro launched with Huawei's own Kirin 9000S chip — a surprise return to domestic 5G silicon after US sanctions, treated in Chinese media as a national technology milestone.
usage
Chinese speakers pronounce it English-style 'meɪt' rather than syllabifying it. In text it stays in Roman letters, usually preceded by the 华为 ('Huawei') brand.
