Huawei P60 Pro: The variable-aperture moonshot — 2023's low-light camera benchmark.
SpecEagle Editorial·Mar 2023·$960·Score 82/100
P60 Pro answered Huawei's political handicap with optics — a true physical variable aperture that made it one of the best low-light cameras of 2023, sanctions and 4G modem be damned. It remains a cult favourite among photographers willing to live without Google and 5G; for everyone else it is a fascinating historical footnote.
