Huawei is working on the next P series smartphones, P40 and P40 Pro. So, we are going to share our knowledge that we collect by various reliable and trusted sources with our visitors, here is, what we know about these new Huawei Smartphones.
Huawei P40 and P40 Pro release date and Price
Speaking on the release date, Huawei P30 and P30 Pro had launched in late March 2019. Thus we are anticipating P40 and P40 Pro to debut at the same time, late March 2020.
How much the Huawei P40 and P40 Pro would cost? Huawei P30 and P30 Pro were retailed at $749 and $1,049, respectively. Therefore, we are expecting Huawei P40 and P40 Pro to be priced at $799 and $1,049. The P40 duo pre-orders and sales will kick off immediately after the official unveiling at the end of March 2020 for Europe and a month later for other selective countries.
Huawei P40 and P40 Pro: What we know so far?
According to the rumors, Huawei P40 will have a 6.4inches while P40 Pro will obtain a 6.7inches screen. The display type is said to be Super AMOLED, and the resolution should be FHD+ for standard and QHD+ for the pro version.
Richard Yu, president of Huawei Consumer, tipped the Huawei P40 duo may run HarmonyOS according to the current situation. But the strategy could be changed if the US would cooperate on any deal for Google Android. (HarmonyOS is the system software developed and owned by Huawei.)
Yu suggested the Huawei is planning to sell Kirin 990 5G chipset built with an integrated 5G modem.
Huawei P40 and P40 Pro will bring Kirin 990 5G to improve the Internet of Things. RAM and ROM must have 8GB and 128GB. There would be a 12GB RAM variant, too.
You may a bit disappoint to know Kirin 990 received 457,357 scores by AnTuTu benchmark for overall performance. However, Snapdragon 865 achieved 568,919 AnTuTu scores. So it’s a bit difficult for Kirin 990-powered P40 to approach Samsung’s upcoming flagship, Galaxy S20 powered by Qualcomm SD865.
Rumors mill claimed P40 will support Dual SIM 5G connection, NSA, and SA (because Kirin 990 is capable of doing this).
Some P40 Pro renders are circulating on the internet. Those renders showed Five Cameras on the back and Two Selfie Sensors on the front screen. In short, there are seven cameras you can expect from P40 Pro. The standard Huawei P40 is rumored to carry a Triple Back Camera setup and a Selfie Shooter. Both the devices will have a 64MP primary wide-angle sensor. The other speculated sensors are Telephoto, Ultrawide, and a Time of Flight one. Video recording aspects will also be upgraded, 4k at 60fps, and FHD Super Slow at 960fps or so. EIS and OIS should be supported.
We hope Huawei won’t neglect the battery importance, and it will rank 4000mAh or above respectively for standard and pro model. This time we expected to see a 65W Fast Charge for premium variant because Kirin 990 can support such a fast charge.
Unfortunately, some recent rumors were claiming Huawei P40 Pro to get a Graphene Battery, but the Huawei officials denied by saying the technology is far away from now.
