Huawei P20, P20 Lite, P20 Pro renders leak, reveal iPhone X-like notch and colour options

There have been plenty of leaks and rumours over the past few weeks regarding the upcoming Huawei P20 series that include the P20, P20 Lite and P20 Pro. The company is expected to unveil the phones at an event in Paris on March 27. Continuing the surprising notch trend that has gripped Android OEMs off late, all three P20 phones are expected to sport the forehead and a new set of renders confirm this even further.

WinFutures Roland Quandt posted a series of renders of all three P20 smartphones that reveal them from each and every angle. The renders confirm the iPhone X-like notch atop the display on each of the phones, which will house the front camera of either 16-megapixel or 24-megapixel depending on the model. Additionally, the renders also tell us the range of colours that the phones will be available in. The P20, for example, will be available in black, pink and pink-gold while the P20 Lite will be offered in black, blue and pink options. The P20 Pro has an interesting Twilight colour option that is sure to attract a lot of people apart from black and blue.

The display notch on all three phones is noticeably smaller than the notch on the iPhone X, which tells us that Huawei will not be housing a lot of sensors inside like infrared or dot projector. This largely suggests that Huawei will be using the front camera alone for face unlock. Again, this wont be surprising as most Android smartphones so far with a display notch have mainly used it to house the camera while increasing the overall screen-to-body-ratio.

Meanwhile, the rear of the P20 Pro render once again confirms Evan Blass previous report that the flagship will sport a triple rear camera setup with a maximum resolution of 40-megapixel. WinFuture says that one of the three cameras will be a monochrome sensor while another will be a telephoto lens capable of 3X hybrid zoom. Moreover, the P20 Pros rear camera setup will include a f/1.6 aperture and f/2.4 aperture.

Meanwhile, the Huawei P20 and P20 Lite will sport traditional dual rear camera setups with similar aperture like the P20 Pro. The report further suggests an infrared white balance sensor and laser-assisted autofocus. As for the fingerprint sensor, the P20 and P20 Pro will embed the sensor on the home button on the front while the P20 Lite will keep the fingerprint sensor on the back.

Quandt provides some more details as well such as a 3,400mAh battery inside the P20 and a larger 4,000mAh battery for the P20 Pro. The report also notes that both the P20 and the P20 Pro will not support a microSD card slot, but they will support two nano SIM cards. The P20 Lite, on the other hand, will support storage expandability. Lastly, the report also notes that the P20 Lite, P20 and P20 Pro will be priced starting at EUR 369, EUR 679 and EUR 899, respectively. We will know everything else when Huawei unveils the trio on March 27.
