Leaked Huawei P40 Pro renders show quad-edge display, Galaxy S11-like camera
Huawei CEO Richard Yu recently claimed the P40 and P40 Pro would arrive next year bearing a never-before-seen design. Now, tipster Steve Hemmerstoffer has released some early renders of the phones and it certainly seems as though the executive wasn’t exaggerating.
A new Galaxy S11-like camera module on the back
Much like the Huawei P30 and P30 Pro, the next-generation P40 and P40 Pro look set to feature rectangular camera modules on the back that are positioned in the top-left corner. But in the hope of creating a sleeker design while also incorporating extra components, the company appears to have opted for a wider module that’s arguably quite similar to the one expected on the Galaxy S11.
Hemmerstoffer claims the regular Huawei P40 features as many as four rear cameras but isn’t sure about the number of sensors planned for the Pro-branded model. Rumors do suggest, however, that up to five cameras could be on the way.
If that’s the case, consumers can probably expect to find a main camera accompanied by an ultra-wide-angle shooter, a dedicated Time-of-Flight sensor, and a new dual-zoom system that features 2x telephoto and 5x periscope cameras. For those of you interested in the cheaper Huawei P40, it’s expected to feature a similar setup which uses just one zoom camera.
The rest of the back panel is the usual affair, meaning it’ll feature the Huawei logo towards the bottom and likely be made out of glass so the company can offer its usual wireless charging and reverse wireless charging features.
The images also reveal what appears to be a quad-curved display on the Pro-branded model that requires an all-new aluminum frame design.
