Huawei is set to announce both the P40 and P40 Pro in just a few days during an online-only event happening March 26th. But even with the real announcement just a few days away, the rumors keep on coming.
The latest leak clarifies the last few details about the duo of phones, including Huawei's continued focus on smartphone photography with the P40 Pro.
Huawei P40 Pro leaks
There are some similarities between the P40 and P40 Pro, which is pretty typical for Huawei launches like this. Both phones are rumored to use a Kirin 990 CPU, although its 5G modem isn't compatible with mmWave frequencies. That's going to put Huawei at a disadvantage against Samsung's Galaxy S20 line.
The Huawei P40 Pro is expected to be an improvement over the regular model, offering a bigger 4200mAh battery and a 6.58-inch display, including a hole punch for the 32-megapixel front-facing camera.
Those cameras are really what's going to sell the Huawei P40 Pro, though. Huawei is reportedly using a 50MP main camera, 40MP telephoto lens, 12MP ultrawide lens, and a ToF sensor. These can reach up to a 50x zoom, which lags a bit behind Samsung but might not mean too much considering how nearly unusable Samsung's 100x Space Zoom is in many situations.
The phone will also be the first to use the Huawei XD Fusion Engine, which sounds like Google's Pixel Visual Core that allows the phone to create HDR images and create better photos and videos. It might also be accessible by third-party apps, which can take advantage of the improved hardware on the device. Looking at you, Snapchat.
Another detail that's up in the air currently is the wireless charging speeds of the Huawei P40 Pro. The leak thinks that 40W wireless fast charging might be here, but that's no guarantee yet.
The regular Huawei P40 will be shrinking its display to a 6.1-inch display and a triple camera system with a 50MP, 16MP, and 8MP layout, although this one only gets a 30x zoom. It does still use the Huawei XD Fusion Engine for better images.
Unfortunately, neither phone will be launching with Google apps.
