Richard Yu, CEO of the Huawei Consumer Business Group has recently revealed during an interview that the company’s upcoming P40 flagship series will be announced towards the end of March.
According to reports, this year’s “P” series lineup is expected to feature three flagship devices including the Huawei P40, P40 Pro, as well as an even higher-end model known as P40 Pro Premium.
Today, two of the aforementioned smartphones have already been certified by the Chinese TENAA authority. These devices are none other than the P40 and P40 Pro which carry the model numbers ANA-AN00/ ANA-TN00 and ELS-AN00/ ELS-TN00 respectively.
Although their certification listings didn’t reveal much about the device’s specs, but it do reaffirmed that both devices are 5G-ready phones capable of supporting both standalone (SA) and non-standalone (NSA) modes. In fact, all the P40 phones certified were listed with 5G support, so it is possible that the upcoming P40 flagship series only has 5G models.
Huawei P40 (ANA-AN00/ ANA-TN00)
According to an earlier leaked render of the Huawei P40, the device will feature a pill-shaped cut-out on the top-left corner which houses a total of two camera sensors. This is pretty similar to what we’d seen on the recently announced Huawei Nova 6 and Honor V30 .
On it’s flip-side, there will be a rectangular camera module that houses a triple-camera setup which are believed to be a main shooter, ultra-wide lens, as well as a ToF lens.
The Leica-branded camera will also be accompanied by a dual-tone LED flash housed within the same module. Seen in the render above, the camera module makes a slight protrusion from the device’s rear panel.
Huawei P40 Pro (ELS-AN00/ ELS-TN00)
The Huawei P40 Pro on the other hand, will feature a more pronounced curves along the two sides of it’s front panel as compared to the P40.
On it’s rear panel, the rectangular camera module will house a total of four camera sensors which are believed to be a main shooter, Cine Lens, periscope camera, as well as a ToF sensor.
