Huawei is one of the big smartphone players that
skipped on the MWC 2018 announcement game. The Chinese manufacturer decided to
push the launch of its new flagship the P20 for March 27, giving more time for
leaks and rumors to power the rumor mill.
Latest photos from Chinese sources suggest a
horizontal dual cam setup next to an LED light next to what appears to be a
third camera, all of them branded by Leica. The phone is not powered (most
likely a dummy) and we can’t see the screen, but it will most likely be
FullView with 18:9 ratio like the one in the Mate 10 Pro. A surprising feature
of this device is the apparent lack of notch, contradicting previous rumors.
There is a selfie camera or some other sensor on the
left side of the top bezel, making us wonder what we are looking at. The phone
pictured (again, if real at all) is seen to have a USB port at the bottom,
surrounded from both sides by a grill speaker. There is also a 3.5 mm jack on
the bottom, but ditching it would not be a surprise, after all, Huawei already
did it with the Mate 10 Pro.
While Chinese sources keep surprising us, Evan Blass
on Twitter posted an image that resembles the already listed images of the Huawei
P20 on TENAA with a slight difference in the actual words, expected to occupy
the back panel - Shirley instead of Huawei and Byoca instead of Leica.
