Huawei is expected to start the year 2020 in its usual fashion, that is with the launch of the Huawei P40 flagship smartphone in March 2020. The P40 has been the subject of several leaks/rumours, one of which is that the device will be the first Huawei model to use graphene battery but that rumour was squashed by the Chinese giant. The design of the Huawei P40 has also been leaked in several renders. We now have a new P40 leak in town and it is the TPU protective case for the device.
The TPU case gives us an idea of how the rear design of the P40 would look like. The device will likely join the Galaxy S11 series in having rectangular camera housing design. This design has been spotted on the leaked render and the TPU case has a wide rectangular cut out to project the rear camera. The device is reported to feature a quad-camera setup which is one sensor more than that of the P30. The edges of the casing around the camera protrudes and that is because the camera housing will have a protrusion from the rest of the glass body. Save for the cameras, the back of the phone is bare.
There is a USB Type-C port at the bottom of the Huawei P40 along with a speaker grill on the right. The device is said to have a SIM tray on the left but there is understandably no cutout there. You’ll have to remove the TPU case to eject the SIM tray as with other phones. The power button and volume rocker are on the right side of the metal frame. Unfortunately, the P40 ditches the audio jack as there is no cut out for that anywhere.

As for the front design, previously leaked images suggest Huawei is adopting the same style it used this year for the Huawei P30 series. That is a flat display for the standard model and a curved display for the Pro.
The Huawei P40’s screen is put at between 6.1-inch and 6.2-inch and should, of course, be an AMOLED display panel. The renders do not show if it has a notch or punch hole neither is there any mention of a pop-up selfie camera. Huawei may opt for the punch-hole design which seems to be gathering momentum.
