New leak suggests Huawei P40 and P40 Pro will be camera and battery beasts

The Huawei P40 series is supposed to be officially revealed on March 26, but thanks to recent leaks, the phones are having a hard time staying under wraps. The latest comes from the folks at 91mobiles, who have revealed the phones' camera, battery specs, and more.

Huawei P40 and P40 Pro cameras

According to the new leak, the Huawei P40 Pro will have four Leica Ultra Vision cameras in the back. There will be a main 50MP rear sensor, along with a 40MP secondary camera, a third 12MP rear camera, and a 3D ToF sensor. One of these sensors will be a telephoto camera, and the article claims it will support 50x SuperSensing Zoom and stabilization. The front of the smartphone will reportedly have a 32MP main sensor and a depth sensor. All of these cameras will be supported by something called the "Huawei XD Fusion Engine" that will reportedly help improve the images in some way.

The tipster claims the standard Huawei P40 will have a 50MP main rear camera, a 16MP secondary sensor, and an 8MP sensor. The phone will support 30x digital zoom and the Huawei XD Fusion Engine. There will just be a single 32MP sensor on the front.

Batteries and screen size

The article claims the Huawei P40 Pro will have a 4,200mAh battery inside and will support 40W wired fast charging. 40W fast wireless charging will reportedly be included as well. However, the source for this article was unsure of this tidbit and suggested that the phone might just have 27W wireless charging. The standard P40 will have a smaller 3,800mAh battery. It might have support for 40W fast wired charging and 27W wireless charging, but again the source was not certain of this bit.

Finally, the Huawei P40 Pro will have a 6.58-inch display and the company's Kirin 990 5G processor inside. The standard P40 is supposed to have a 6.1-inch display.

Keep in mind that none of these specs have been confirmed by Huawei. We will have to wait until March 26 learn more, so stay tuned for more coverage!
