Huawei's P20 family of smartphones is scheduled for
a March 27 announcement in Paris and we're expecting three phones to go
official then and there - a 'regular' P20, a Lite and a Plus (or maybe Pro?).
It's this latter version that we have some new bits on.
The flashing / unbricking / assorted-software - tinkering service that specializes in Huawei phones has allegedly dug up P20 Plus
firmware files and inside those - a mention of a 4,000mAh battery. On top of
that, a reference to an always on display feature has also been found in the
files.
So far, only the Mate 10 Pro in the Huawei lineup
has an always on display and, whaddayaknow, it's got a 4,000mAh battery too.
That coincidence makes the skeptics around here think that the firmware in
question has some remnants of a Mate 10 Pro build and is not necessarily
indicative of the P20 Plus' final form - it's still somewhat early, after all.
On the other hand, the P10 Plus has a 3,750mAh
battery and a 4,000mAh power pack for the upcoming model doesn't sound the
least bit outlandish. We're just wondering if the always on display means an
OLED panel for the P20 Plus - it's not a requirement for the feature, but the
two go quite well together. Plus, with all this talk of notches, things are
starting to add up in favor of OLED.
