Yesterday, an image of the box of the flagship smartphone Huawei Mate 60 RS Ultimate Design appeared on the Internet, and now a photo of the device itself has arrived. Even more: the other picture shows a promotional image of the Mate 60 RS Ultimate Design.

It is this model that crowns the Mate 60 line, and not the Mate 60 Pro+: the Mate 60 RS Ultimate Design will receive different, higher-quality finishing materials, and externally this model stands out with a characteristic octagonal camera block. The estimated cost of the flagship is 10 thousand yuan, which is approximately $1,370.

Mate 60 RS Ultimate Design will receive 16 GB of RAM and 1 TB of flash memory. The rest of the characteristics will be the same as the Mate 60 Pro+: there will be a 6.82-inch OLED screen, 1.5K resolution, 120 Hz frame rate and Kunlun 2 tempered glass protection, Harmony OS 4.0, SoC Kirin 9000s, 5000 mAh battery h with support for wired charging with a power of 80 W and wireless charging with a power of 50 W, as well as a dual front camera and a main one with sensors with a resolution of 48, 40 and 48 megapixels.

The iPhone 15 finally gets a USB-C port, something many have been waiting for. But after the start of sales, it became clear that everything with this function is very ambiguous. So, as it turned out, not all cables from famous brands are compatible with the iPhone 15, and now official Apple stores in China have even begun to dissuade users from using cables for Android smartphones with the iPhone 15.

The first such store was the Apple Store in Foshan (Guangdong Province), but now users report that they have begun to receive similar recommendations from other stores. Points of sale believe that using third-party cables may cause overheating. This is due to the peculiarities of the location of the contacts.

Such recommendations caused a flurry of criticism against official Apple stores. Firstly, many have already been able to verify the compatibility of their brand new iPhone 15 with third-party cables. Secondly, there is an opinion that in this way Apple persuades users to purchase original cables, which are much more expensive than third-party ones.

About a week ago, Qualcomm introduced the Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 single-chip system, and even then we noted that the platform turned out to be strange: it turned out to be slower even than the Snapdragon 7 Gen 1. Now the situation has become a little clearer: Qualcomm went along the beaten path more expensive than MediaTek and simply renamed one SoC to another . To be fair, we note that the matter was not limited to just renaming: the new single-chip system received an increase in CPU frequencies of 150-200 MHz.

The table clearly shows that Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 is a slightly overclocked Snapdragon 6 Gen 1: the frequency of the ARM Cortex-A55 cores increased by 150 MHz, the ARM Cortex A78 cores increased by 200 MHz. And that is all. There are no other differences between these single-chip systems: Qualcomm didn’t even change the modem. Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 scores about 30 thousand more points in AnTuTu, but this is precisely due to the increase in frequencies.

Let us remind you that the first serial smartphone based on Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 was Redmi Note 13 Pro.
