Plenty of mysteries, surrounding the
upcoming P40 family have been unraveling lately. As the March 26 scheduled
announcement date grows nearer we have started to get a far clearer picture of
the upcoming trio – the P40, P40 Pro and P40 Premium. Mind you, that’s without
counting the already announced P40 lite and P40 lite E, nor the alleged Porsche
Design and Red Flag editions.
So far we've mostly been looking at the
backs of the P40 lineup, but now reputable leakster Evan Blass gave us a couple
of pictures of the vanilla P40 and the P40 Pro. From the looks of things, the
former is sticking to a flat or perhaps very slightly curved display.
On the other hand the P40 Pro follows in
the steps of devices like the Mate 30 and its curvy display. Though, this angle
really doesn’t allow us to see if Huawei will, once again, be going for quite
as aggressive of a curve.
Beyond that, there really isn’t all that
much to deduce from the images. We do see a slightly bigger cutout for the pair
of selfie cameras on the P40 Pro, so we might be looking at bigger modules.
And, we can clearly see indication of an in-display fingerprint reader solution
on the Pro. Not so much the vanilla, but that shouldn’t really be taken as any
indication since the wallpaper has been added artificially.
Briefly summarizing some of the other bits
we expect to see in the Huawei P40 line, we have a new 50MP RYYB sensor, with
better zoom and probably bigger surface area. 120Hz refresh rate OLED panels
are also on the menu alongside the Kirin 990 5G chipset. We even have an early
hint at pricing for the entire range. We’ll keep you posted as developments
come through.
