It is official, the Huawei Mate 30 series will be launching this month, not at IFA 2019, but at a special event in Munich, Germany on September 19.

The announcement was made today on Twitter by the official Huawei Mobile account. The tweet includes a tease of the new circular camera housing or Oreo camera has some have come to term the design.

Last week, a leaked poster revealed the Huawei Mate 30 series will come with quad rear cameras in a circular housing with a huge bump. That bump is said to be as a result of smart cases which will bring additional features to the phone. We talked about the cases here which we think will not be limited to the Mate 30 series but also other Huawei phones and Honor phones too.

The Huawei Mate 30/30 Pro will feature cameras co-developed with Leica, two of which are 40MP sensors. It will also have triple cameras in front housed inside a notch, an in-display fingerprint scanner, a Kirin 990 processor, and an IR sensor. It will also have a display that curves to the sides at an angle close to 90°. Huawei also recently received certification for a new wireless charger that can charge at 25W.

However, while the Huawei Mate 30 series will be announced in Europe first, it may actually not be available for purchase outside China for a while as Google as said the manufacturer isn’t licensed to launch the phones with official Android and Google Play services due to the trade ban.
