In
a few weeks Huawei is expected to unveil the P40 family, and while the
spotlight is usually on the namesake as well as the Pro model, let's not forget
that there's always a Lite phone tagging along for the ride (and added brand cachet).
Things
will be no different in 2020, according to a new rumor, so expect to see a P40
Lite getting announced too. Here's the kicker, though - this may look familiar,
and sound so too going by the specs.
That's
because it looks like Huawei will simply opt to rebrand the recently launched
nova 6 SE and sell that as the P40 Lite in those markets where the P series
traditionally gets a Lite model. This isn't surprising at all given the
company's usual penchant for selling the same phone under multiple names
worldwide.
If
this pans out, then expect the P40 Lite to come with a 6.4-inch 1080x2310 LCD
touchscreen, the Kirin 810 SoC, 8GB of RAM, 128GB of storage (expandable via
NM), a quad rear camera setup (48 MP f/1.8 main, 8 MP f/2.4 ultrawide, 2 MP
f/2.4 macro, 2 MP f/2.4 depth sensor), a 16 MP f/2.0 selfie snapper housed in a
punch-hole, and a 4,200 mAh battery with 40W fast charging.
