New Huawei P40 and P40 Pro images could blow Samsung Galaxy S11


New images showcase incredible features we're not expecting from the Samsung flagship. 
Until recently, the technology news cycle has been dominated by Samsung Galaxy S11 leaks, rumours and speculation. However, thanks to a series of new tidbits of info hitting the net, the Huawei P40 rumour train is beginning to gather steam at long last. 

Recently, we've seen images of the P40 Lite (above), a rebranded Huawei Nova 6 SE with a raised square camera module. Now, renders of the P40 itself have been released from news site 91mobiles based on everything we've heard so far, and it reveals a combination of the new and the old.

These new renders from the 91mobiles team are very dark, but they provide a look at one possible version of the unreleased phone, based on the latest leaks and rumours. Check them out below:

An under-screen selfie camera, like the one debuted by Oppo earlier this year, is shown to be part of the Huawei P40, along with a curved screen to maximise screen real estate. The addition of an under-screen camera is impressive, allowing Huawei to get ever closer to that coveted 100% screen-space on the front of the phone. 

The camera model is raised and rectangular just like those images of the Samsung Galaxy S11+ leaked by tipster Iceuniverse. However, it's a slightly different shape than the square on the P40 Lite.


Those in the know seem to think this design, following similar modules on the Pixel 4 and iPhone 11 Pro, will be a popular choice for high-end phones in 2020. The raised module has even been tipped before in images from GizChina (seen above).

With Samsung tipped to present its new phone 18 February 2020, we're imaging Huawei will either try and beat the Korean manufacturer to the punch, or be following them very closely behind. 

Either way, we're sure to find out soon if this is the direction Huawei's latest phone is heading in. It's said to expand on the P30's already impressive shooting capabilities, so placing a greater emphasis on the camera makes total sense. We can't wait to find out.

What about the next-generation Apple rival, the iPhone 12?

As the  2020 Consumer Electronics Show  draws to a close, it is time to look back at a few of the devices, gadgets and innovations that garnered the most buzz on its show floor. With more than 4,400 companies having exhibitions, 307 of which were in the 2018 Fortune Global 500, this year’s show has already proven to be larger than ever before.

Under-Screen Camera Technology : Who Will Win The Race?

The concept of full screen smartphones has been quite popular for several years. During the past 5-6 years, we saw various forms of notch screen, lifting front camera, water drop screen, and hole-punch screen. However, to achieve a true full-screen effect with no addition structures and notches, there is only one way – under-screen camera. Xiaomi vs ZTE Recently, Xiaomi and ZTE have had a war of words around the under-screen camera technology. ZTE officially released the Axon 20 5G on September 1. It is known as the world’s first commercial under-screen camera phone. And though Xiaomi hasn’t announced a similar phone yet, it released the so-called ‘third-generation under-screen camera technology’ on August 28. Mass production of this technology will have to wait until next year. ZTE Axon 20 5G In fact, the first-tier China-based manufacturers have been preparing for under-screen camera technology for a long time. Although many products using lift camera technolo
