2With Huawei<\/a> delivering arguably the best phone of 2019 with the Huawei P30 Pro<\/a>, the Chinese company has revealed its next flagship device range, P40 series. Here’s what you need to know about Huawei’s new entry and what to expect.<\/p>\n

While usually only introducing three P-series phones into the market, this year, Huawei will be releasing four iterations of the P40, namely the P40 Lite<\/strong>, P40<\/strong>, P40 Pro<\/strong>, and P40 Pro+<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Design<\/h3>\n

Huawei hasn’t made a drastic departure from its previous P-series devices, but has added a few new tweaks to the build. There is a new Quad-Curve Overflow Display, which bleeds over the edge of the device and includes in-screen fingerprint recognition, while the display now outputs a 90Hz refresh rate, a step up from the usual 60 Hz.<\/p>\n

The P40 features a 6.1-inch display, while the Pro and Pro+ house a 6.58-inch screen.<\/p>\n

Colour-wise, Huawei has opted for\u00a0solid shades of Black and Silver Frost, both with refractive matte finishes.<\/p>\n

Of course, Huawei biggest change is to the camera set-up, as the P40 boasts Leica triple-camera system with a telephoto, wide-angle, and ultra-wide angle lens; while the P40 Pro sports four lenses on its camera array and includes a time-of-flight depth sensor for improved bokeh effects.<\/p>\n

The top-of-the-range P40 Pro+ features an advanced camera system with five lenses \u2013 including a 10x optical telephoto periscope lens, and\u00a0support up to 100x digital SuperZoom functionality for photos.<\/p>\n

The P40 Pro features 256GB of storage space, while the P40 includes 128GB, with both having 8GB of RAM. The\u00a0Huawei\u2019s P40 Pro+ boasts 512GB of storage and 12GB of RAM.<\/p>\n

Features & Specs<\/h3>\n

The Huawei P40 series is powered by the HiSilicon Kirin 990 chipset (the 5G variant) and it will run Android 10 with Huawei Mobile Services replacing the Google software.<\/p>\n

Release Date<\/h3>\n

The P40 and P40 Pro are set to be released in middle-May due to delays in production and distribution as a result of the COVID-19 Coronavirus; while the P40 Pro+ will land in June. The entry-level P40 Lite is already available.<\/p>\n
