Apple doesn't publish an end date, but iPhones have a consistent ~4-year update track record — on that basis the P60 Pro should be supported until around March 2027. Buying it today still gets you about 0.8 years of safe use (Apple's written legal minimum is 5 years).

Frequently asked questions

Does the Huawei P60 Pro have 5G?

No. Although it uses a Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1, US export restrictions limit Huawei to a 4G-only version of the chipset, so the P60 Pro is 4G LTE only.

Does the P60 Pro support Google apps?

No. It runs HarmonyOS (or EMUI globally) with the Huawei AppGallery and no Google Mobile Services or Play Store.

How good is the P60 Pro camera?

Very good — it pairs a 48MP variable-aperture main sensor with a 48MP periscope telephoto offering 3.5x optical zoom, making it one of the better zoom cameras of its era.
