Chinese manufacturing giant, Huawei, is getting set to unveil its latest flagship – Huawei P40 series. There are reports that this series will have a “Plus” version. Sometime last month, we saw a spy image of the Huawei P40 Pro in a subway. In the absence of official reports, we have some multi-angle renders of the P40 Pro which gives us some insight into this device.
The latest renderings show that it is basically consistent with the previous exposure. The new render of the Huawei P40 Pro uses a punch-hole four-curved full-screen design. The dual front camera is at the upper left corner. The sides of the screen will use waterfalls similar to Huawei Mate 30 Pro Full-screen design. However, the arc may be slightly smaller than the latter. In addition, to the larger arc on both sides of the screen, the top and bottom also have a certain arc. This design gives the smartphone a “round” feel. On the rear, we can see the Penta Leica cameras.
