What news will come to the Huawei P40 and P40 Pro? These two terminals will be announced next March, and the leaks are already doing their job: revealing what features both models will have. The truth is that the leaks have advanced so much that we can already see the design of the two models, the color palette that will arrive and the camera configuration among other characteristics.
Design
One of the main novelties of the Huawei P40 and P40 Pro will be the renewed physical appearance. Especially in the case of the Huawei P40 Pro, the most powerful model. The back will continue to be glass and the camera module will continue to be on one side, although it changes shape. Now it will have a rectangular camera module, as it will house more sensors, and of a larger size. Also, the LED flash and laser for focus. The rear of the Huawei P40 will be very similar, although it will have a narrower module, since it will have a triple camera.
The Huawei P40 Pro screen will also have a curvature at the top and another at the bottom.
On the front if there will be news. The Huawei P40 Pro will incorporate a new glass with curvature on all four sides.
In the Huawei P30 Pro we saw a double curved screen on both sides, but now it will be applied in the upper and lower area. While it would not affect the usability of the device, and it seems that no special functions will be added, it can be a very interesting aesthetic touch. In addition to this, the terminal will have a double camera located on the screen, like the Samsung Galaxy S10 +.
The Huawei P40 will not have any curvature on the edges, but it will arrive with a quad camera, according to a recently filtered image.
Design of the Huawei P40, the normal model.
As for the colors, it seems that the range will be wide, and different tones will arrive, such as blue, gold, black, gray and a gradient variant. It seems that the back will not be made of shiny glass, but will have a matte finish.
Camera
Without a doubt, where we will see a great change is in the photographic section. The Huawei P40 Pro will arrive with a quad main camera. In addition to the two lenses on the front. But the important thing, and where we see great news, is in the rear. The first rumors pointed to a 108 megapixel main camera. However, the latest leaks indicate that it will have a resolution of 64 megapixels. Of course, you can't miss the ultra wide angle lens, which could be around 20 megapixels. The telephoto camera will grow considerably. In the P30 Pro we saw a 5X optical zoom. On the P40 it will be 10X. Lastly, the fourth sensor will be a use lens for depth of field.
In the case of the Huawei P40, we could see a main lens of about 48 megapixels, a second ultra-wide-angle camera and a third sensor with 3x optical zoom.
The double camera for selfies would be similar in both cases. The main sensor would have a resolution of about 32 megapixels, while the second lens could be focused at depth of field for portrait mode. Or (and something that I personally find more useful) a lens with a more open angle for group selfies.
Without Google apps
Unless the veto imposed by Donald Trump changes at the last minute, the Huawei P40 and P40 Pro will arrive without Google services. Therefore, we will not be able to download applications from the Play Store, use the YouTube app or the Gmail app. HMS (Huawei mobile Services) will be incorporated. They are Huawei's own applications and services, which in a way replace those of Google. The Huawei P40 and P40 Pro could arrive with new applications and news in App Gallery, the company's application store. Yes, they will have Android 10 and MIUI 10 in their open source version.
The screen: an important feature
On the screen we will also see news, especially in the Pro model. It seems that Huawei will implement a 120 Hz screen. It is a much more fluid panel, and will affect mainly games and videos. In addition, the Huawei P40 Pro could arrive with a 6.7-inch screen with QHD + resolution and OLED technology.
The Huawei P40 would also have an OLED panel, but the screen size would be somewhat more compact. In addition to having Full HD + resolution instead of QHD +.
Presentation date and price
Richard Yu, CEO of Huawei, revealed that the P40 series will be presented at the end of March in Paris. We still do not know an exact date, but we could talk about March 24 or 26, the date on which Huawei has already presented its flagships in other years. As for the price, it is still unknown, but we could see a drop in the cost of this terminal due to the problems with the United States. Huawei cannot use Google services, and they must choose their own catalog of applications and services. Although these are very well optimized for mobiles, and there are more and more own applications, they cannot yet be compared with those of Google. The price drop would be a very attractive feature for many users.
