The Huawei Mate 20 and Mate 20 Pro might be the devices to popularize the square-shaped camera housing but it is actually the 2016 LG X cam (below) that first launched with that design. Apple and Google will be adopting the same design for the iPhone XI series and Pixel 4 respectively this year but Huawei might be ditching it.
A glass back panel said to be that of the Mate 30 Pro has surfaced on the web and it shows the phone will swap the square-shaped camera housing for a circular one, not unlike that of the Moto Z3.
A tech blog decided to photoshop the Mate 20 and made a fake render of the Mate 30 (below) to give us an idea of what the phone may look like with the new circular camera housing.
We are not sure how many camera sensors the circle will hold but we believe there should be at least three. The glass panel is shown to have Leica’s branding which means Huawei and the German company will once again continue their partnership with the development of the cameras.
The Huawei Mate 30 Pro should come with an AMOLED display. There are rumors the screen will have a 90Hz refresh rate just like the OnePlus 7 Pro. The phone should also have an in-display fingerprint scanner and a battery capacity over 4000mAh with support for fast charging and wireless charging. It should also arrive with a new version of EMUI, EMUI 10 to be precise.
We also expect it to launch with a brand new 7nm processor – the Kirin 985. This new chipset should come with an in-house NPU just like the new Kirin 810 chipset.
What do you think about the switch to a circular camera housing, yay or nay?
