Huawei Mate 30 series smartphones are all set to go official later this month. The company has scheduled a launch event in Munich, Germany on 19th September. Ahead of the phone’s launch, Huawei has now shared a new teaser video on Weibo.
The teaser for the Huawei Mate 30 series smartphones showcases a circular camera sensor, hinting at the new “Oreo” camera module on the back panel. The rear camera sensors will be housed inside a circular casing, which is being referred as “Oreo” module.
Recently, a leaked poster revealed that the Huawei Mate 30 series will come with quad rear cameras 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 feature a display that curves to the sides at an angle close to 90-degree. 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, report claims that the phone not be available for purchase outside China for a while as Google has said the manufacturer isn’t licensed to launch the phones with official Android and Google Play services due to the trade ban.
The company has now confirmed that the Mate 30 will launch without any Google applications. Instead, it will reportedly come with third-party alternatives running on a bespoke version of Android 10.
Since Android is an open source operating system, the Mate 30 will still be running the latest Android 10 OS out-of-the-box. This will make Mate 30 the first Huawei smartphone to ship without Google’s support after the US trade ban.
Meanwhile, Huawei CEO Richard Yu has hinted that the company is all set to adopt HarmonyOS for smartphones if the situation with the United States doesn’t improve. He hinted that the Huawei P40 will come running HarmonyOS next year and has also confirmed that the OS is now ready to power smartphones.
