Huawei rumored to discontinue Mate 60 in favor of upcoming flagship products

Huawei Mate 60 appeared as a turning point in the smartphone market with the rebirth of Kirin 5G chipsets but it seems, the company could soon discontinue the device in favor of the upcoming flagship products. Let’s explore this topic in detail.

Weibo tipster @FixedFocus shared a screenshot that reveals Huawei may discontinue the standard Mate 60 phone in the coming days. Here, the term discontinuation reflects that the company could replace the respective model with a new flagship.

It is unclear how far this input is accurate and fits with the real information. Huawei has not confirmed the news so far. Moreover, it is quite unlikely to replace a recently launched premium-level smartphone with any other upcoming device.

To clarify, the tipster responded that it is not a complete shutdown, but a reduction in the manufacturing of Mate 60 models to remain focused on the new products. Meanwhile, the standard version will maintain a small production and normal after-sales.

Ahead, the screenshot highlights that a stronger and more innovative device is on the way and may soon step into the real world. While the tipster has not mentioned the name, it might refer to the arrival of the Huawei P70 smartphone lineup.

Huawei is trying to adjust the supply chain as per its new products. The company doesn’t want to face any production problems and ‘out of stock’ issues with the P70 series. Hence, it is putting efforts to keep things alright in every manner.

Besides, the Mate 60 won’t fully withdraw from the market. It may face some negligence from the company’s side for some time, probably till the P70 series launch.

As per some previous inputs, the Huawei P70 Series could launch in the first week of April. The device seems to be ready for its official unveiling and the tech giant may not take much time to result in this happening.
