Android’s version of the iPhone 15 Ultra is here and it looks stunning but is this what Android users want?
Huawei has been one of the biggest disruptors in the smartphone industry in the past few years, and whether the Chinese company’s latest phones can run Google apps or not, it’s undeniable that they continue to contribute to the quicker development of new hardware features and a great deal of innovation that ultimately has a positive effect on the entire phone world.
And just when you thought the injured (from the US trade embargo) tech giant had fallen asleep, Huawei is back with a new set of jaw-dropping flagship phones called the Huawei Mate 60, Huawei Mate 60 Pro, and the Huawei Mate 60 Pro+ (all three models look nearly identical and they are mostly separated by their camera systems).
What’s equally as interesting as the beautiful design of the Mate 60 Pro is Huawei’s decision to release its new flagships (in China) just a couple of weeks before the biggest smartphone launch of the year, which takes place on September 12 when the iPhone 15 series is expected to finally become official.
And while the “2.5D curved front glass on all sides, with thinner, symmetrical display borders and a Dynamic Island cutout” is what we expect to see from the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max/Ultra, here is Huawei delivering on Apple’s own “promise” weeks before the , and with an even more intriguing twist… Three Dynamic Islands instead of one! Bet you didn’t see that coming…
Apple’s Dynamic Island debuted almost exactly a year ago replacing the notch on the premium iPhones, and while the internet was very quick to start poking fun at the big cutout in the iPhone’s display, Apple users seem to have embraced the idea of The Island. The iPhone 14 Pro Max is the best-selling phone of the year so far.But you might be surprised to find out that Apple was very late to the “Dynamic Island” game, and although it might seem that Huawei is the one taking inspiration from the iPhone, it’s actually the other way around. That’s if you forget the genius software integration of Apple’s cutout (which Huawei will probably develop sooner or later). Anyway, even Tim Cook will tell you that Huawei used an identical pill-shaped cutout all the way back in 2020 for the Huawei P40 and Huawei P40 Pro flagships, and one that wasn’t a gimmick either – it housed a set of similar 3D face-unlocking sensors like the ones in iPhone 14 Pro, which followed two years later.
