Huawei has announced that the successor to the P30 Pro will be officially revealed on March 26, 2020 in Paris, France. Huawei CEO Richard Yu confirmed the name of the Huawei P40 series and described it as the "world's most powerful 5G flagship," presumably referring to the P40 Pro that recently leaked.
The confirmation came during its MWC-replacement virtual launch event earlier today. The Chinese brand also showed off its latest foldable phone the Huawei Mate XS, a 5G version of the MatePad Pro, as well as new laptops and smart home devices, and a bunch of updates to its Huawei Mobile Services ecosystem and the App Gallery.
Everything we know so far about the Huawei P40 series (Updated Feb. 4)
While there's not much else to go on, the news that the P40 series will support 5G suggests the phone(s) will be powered by the Kirin 990 5G SoC we saw debut with the Mate 30 Pro. We also know that unless something drastic happens between now and March 26, the P40 will not come with Google apps or the Play Store due to the US trade ban.
Richard Yu is no stranger to making big claims at Huawei events, but it'll be interesting to see how the P40 stacks up against what most would call the most powerful 5G flagship family out there — Samsung's Galaxy S20 series. We'll find out in just over a month's time.
