Earlier today (19th July 2021), the Honor Magic 3 was teased in a new advertisement in China. This ad revealed the front design of the upcoming smartphone, which features dual punch hole selfie cameras.

The Chinese smartphone maker has first shared this ad in China’s CCTV (China Central Television) and even posted the short video on its official Weibo account, a Chinese microblogging website. For those unaware, the company is gearing up for the launch of the new Magic 3 series, with the launch conference set for 12th August 2021. Now, the advertisement is the latest promotion from the brand for its upcoming flagship series of handsets.

Looking at the video, the front side of the device has a high screen to body ratio, with the display being surrounded by thin bezels and negligible notch and chin. It also sports dual selfie cameras that are housed in a punch hole format on the display. Unfortunately, the video only teased the camera of the device and revealed the front design, so finer detail and camera specifications were not revealed in the video.

Although, we have a few prior reports to go on at the moment. In a previous report, we had found that the Magic 3 is essentially the Mate 40 Pro with a Snapdragon 888+ SoC. Furthermore, it is also expected to feature a 6.7 inch QHD+ AMOLED display that apparently will support HDR10+ and 120Hz high refresh rate as well. Notably, the company is also expected to launch Pro variants in the series, with the Magic 3 Pro+ reportedly arriving with a under screen camera and support for 100W fast charging.

Earlier today, we learned that Huawei has postponed the launch of the Mate 40 series and will now launch by the end of October. That’s more than ten weeks away, but we don’t have to wait until then to see what the standard Mate 40 looks like. The popular leaker, Steve Hemmerstoffer a.k.a. OnLeaks has revealed what the upcoming flagship looks like.

The leaker has partnered with the blog HandsetExpert for the exclusive leak which doesn’t include a video this time around.

Huawei has made some significant changes to the design of the Mate series. The new Mate 40 will have a pill-shaped punch hole at the left corner of the display for two front-facing cameras. The cut-out looks longer and slimmer than that of the Huawei P40.

The Huawei Mate 40 has a curved display that measures 6.4-inches. At the top are a number of holes which include two for the microphones. There is a bigger one that appears to be an audio jack while another that is shaped like a pill might be the IR sensor.

Huawei has revamped the cookie camera housing for the Mate 40. Unlike that of the Mate 30 series that slopes, this one doesn’t. It is also much bigger but still houses three rear cameras. The position of the LED flash has remained unchanged.

The Mate 40 is shown to have a USB-C port at the bottom that is flanked by a speaker grille on one side and a microphone on the other. The dimensions of the phone are given as 158.6 x 72.5 x 8.9 mm (10.4mm with the camera bump).

When the Mate 40 launches, it will come with EMUI 11 out of the box along with HMS. It should also have support for fast wired and wireless charging, an in-display fingerprint scanner, and 5G.

A new Xiaomi patent has recently surfaced online. It is currently unknown if the patent application has been granted. The patent reveals 3 different designs for a single smartphone, which features a dual camera setup on the front.

The patent was leaked online on Weibo, a Chinese microblogging website, and carries images that reveal three configurations for the dual front cameras. These selfie shooters are housed in punch hole format and can be seen in three different configurations. The first is where the dual selfie shooter is placed in the middle just under the top bezel.

The other two patents depict the same dual selfie shooter, but on the top left corner. However, one of these is vertically stacked while the other is horizontally placed. Notably, each patent image depicts both sensors being joined together. This area might feature other essential features like proximity and ambient light sensors. On the rear, a vertically stacked triple camera setup can be observed, alongside either a dedicated zoom lens or fingerprint scanner.

Another important aspect of the design that can be observed is its screen to body ratio, which is not relatively high. One can easily notice the bezels on all four edges, which may suggest that it is a new Xiaomi entry level or even mid range handset. Unfortunately, this has yet to be confirmed officially by the company. So, take it with a grain of salt.

Reportedly, Oppo Reno 3 Pro might be arriving with a 44 megapixel dual punch hole selfie camera for India. The news arrives from a leakster that shared the information on his Twitter handle.

Notably, Arun Maini (AKA Mrwhosetheboss), a popular tech Youtuber, had shared an image of a smartphone with dual front facing cameras on his official Twitter page. This was retweeted by Mukul Sharma, a leakster from India, who suggested that the device in the image is the Oppo Reno 3 Pro.

I saw @Mrwhosetheboss talking about the world's first 44MP +2MP selfie snappers touting smartphone and I could not sleep. I wished it to launch in India first. And then I thought, wait, the Oppo Reno 3 Pro is launching soon right?
Feel free to retweet.#OppoReno3Pro

Furthermore, the leakster’s post also talked about the image resolution of both the selfie shooters. The primary lens is a 44 megapixel sensor while the secondary camera is a 2 megapixel lens. Although the rumor has not been confirmed officially from Oppo or any other source, the Reno 3 series for India is expected to be unveiled soon. So, the device may just arrive with the dual punch hole selfie camera module.

As of right now, finer details regarding the smartphone are still unknown. However, a few speculations can be made based on previous coverage of the Oppo Reno 3 series. The smartphones are expected to arrive in two variants, a base and Pro version. The former is expected to arrive with a MediaTek 5G chipset while the latter will sport Qualcomm Snapdragon 765G processor, which features an X52 5G Modem.

Under the hood, it is expected to be packed with 12GB of RAM, house 48 megapixel quad camera setup on the rear and support fast charging up to 30W. It is also likely to feature an in-display fingerprint scanner for security and offer a 90Hz refresh rate and 180Hz touch sampling rate on its 6.5 inch FHD+ display panel. For color variants, Blue, Red, Black, and White are reportedly planned for the device.

The Honor V30/Vera30 is an upcoming Honor flagship that will be powered by the new Kirin 990 5G processor. There should also be a non-5G version with the Kirin 990 inside. Ahead of the launch date which is still unknown, a photo showing what is said to be the phone’s display has surfaced on Weibo.

The Honor V30 is shown to have a display with very thin bezels. In addition to that, the screen has a punch hole. However, this is not like the one in its Honor 20 series but a pill-shaped one like that of the Samsung Galaxy S10+.

The punch hole houses two cameras but differs from that of the Galaxy S10+ with its position. Honor has decided to place it on the top left corner of the display instead of the right corner.

The display type is not known but we hope Honor makes the switch to AMOLED for its V-series flagship. If it is an AMOLED screen, then we can expect an in-display fingerprint scanner.

The Honor V20 launched in December last year. If Honor decides to stick to that schedule, then we still have a couple of months of waiting before the Honor V30 arrives.

A smartphone bearing two punch holes in the display could soon be a reality, as the ZTE has patented the new layout. Some details related to the patent appeared on China’s patent registration authority – CNIPA. A pictorial depiction of the patent in the attached image clears all the questions. The new layout involves two circular punch holes side by side in the middle of the display.

It would not be surprising if the company incorporates dual front-facing camera carrying a wide-angle and a depth sensor along with the primary sensor. There are fair chances for the addition of the in-ear speaker in any punch hole. However, minimal bezels are visible across all sides of the devices, whereas usual speaker grill on the bottom and physical buttons on either side are visible.

Placement for the vertical dual rear camera module is carved along with an LED flash. Considering the recent ZTE launches, the new design appears to be coming soon in the market. It will be good to see some variety after the single punch hole displays used in devices such as Galaxy S10, Honor View 20 and few others.
