The Huawei P40 Pro Plus could come with a penta-camera setup having the same configuration as the P40 Pro but with 12MP sensor being replaced with an 8MP telephoto lens and an addition of a 20MP periscope lens. Recently, some camera samples of the P40 Pro smartphone were also leaked online.
These flagship devices from Huawei will come running the latest Android 10 operating system. However, since the Chinese giant is still banned from using Google’s series, the phones will come with Huawei Mobile Services (HMS) as a replacement for GMS.
To know more about the smartphones for sure, including color options, memory variants, pricing and availability details, we’ll have to wait for the official debut on 26th March.
