Huawei will be announcing the Huawei P40 series on March 26. While the recently unveiled P40 Lite was an upper mid-range phone, recent reports have revealed that the P40 lineup has phones like P40, P40 Pro and P40 Pro PE (Premium Edition). Weeks ahead of the launch, Digital Trends has shared hands-on images of an early prototype unit of a P40 series phone. While it appears to be the P40 Pro, DT states that it is P40.
Instead of the Huawei and Leica branding, the early prototype of the Huawei P40 has Polarie and Blink codenames mentioned on it, states the publication. The handset has an aesthetically pleasing design as its glass rear seamlessly blends with the metallic chassis and it flaunts rounded corners.
The size of the device is almost same as the P40 Pro model. It has a physical volume and power buttons. The bottom edge of the phone has a USB-C port and it lacks a 3.5mm audio jack. The absence of traditional fingerprint sensor suggests that it is equipped with an in-screen fingerprint reader. The publication claims that there is considerable depth to the finish of the blue colored version of the smartphone that can be seen in the hands-on images. The
The camera setup of the device has three sensors stacked vertically. The bottom one is a periscope zoom lens. Rumors have it that the triple camera setup includes a 52-megapixel lens, a 40-mgeapixel sensor and an 8-megapixel telephoto sensor. Alongside it is another module that includes a ToF (Time of Flight) sensor, a microphone hole and an LED flash. Like the predecessor model, Huawei may have worked with Leica for the cameras of the P40 series.
The publication did not share any image of the front side of the smartphone. However, it has stated that the phone features a curved screen. For more images of the phone, readers can visit the source link.
While the publication is calling the above device as Huawei P40, it actually appears to be the Huawei P40 Pro handset. Past reports have revealed that the P40 Pro has four rear cameras and a curved display whereas the P40 is said to be equipped with triple rear cameras and a flat screen. The more premium Huawei P40 Pro PE is expected to borrow the display from the Huawei P40 Pro and feature a penta-lens camera setup on the back. To distinguish between the three devices, an image gallery has been included below. It contains the leaked renders of the P40, P40 Pro and P40 Pro PE phones.
