Huawei P20 Pro Leaked In “Twilight” Colour Variant
In the post-Galaxy S9 launch time, the Huawei launch event is highly anticipated. The company has already confirmed that the Huawei P20 series of will be unveiled on the 27th of March in France.

Usually, smartphone makers do not play much with the colour variants. In fact, most of the smartphones come in either Black, Grey, or Gold Colour. In 2015, Apple introduced the iPhone 6s in a new Rose Gold colour. While it took a while for people to war down to the colour, it soon became an industry trend, much like the iPhone X’s notch. Even now, after Apple dropped the Rose Gold colour, smartphone makers continue to launch devices in a Pink colour variant.

It looks like, Huawei is planning to set a new trend in the smartphone industry. A batch of leaked renders of the Huawei P20 Pro reveals an interesting colour choice by the company. The Huawei P20 Pro might come in a new “Twilight” colour shade, which has never been seen on any smartphone.

Huawei P20

The colour choice is very bold by Huawei. In a world where smartphones are becoming increasingly similar, very few things separate them. Like the Galaxy S9 and its Lilac Purple variant, the new Twilight Huawei P20 Pro will definitely stand out from the crowd. Even the Huawei P20 will see an unusual colour variant. The leaked renders reveal a dual tone pink-and-gold colour which might seem like a botched photoshop job at first.

Huawei P20 Lite

The P20 Lite, on the other hand, will be available in a colour variant very similar to what we saw with the Honor 9 Lite. It is shiny and very blue but, looks pretty great.

- 6 inch OLED Display with a notch

Huawei P20 With Triple Camera Launch Date Confirmed

The company has released a brief 7-second video, which showcases the landscape view of Paris with 3 circles. This might be the Huawei’s way of saying that, the Huawei P20 has a triple camera setup. The teaser also says “SEE MOOORE ON AI”, which hints towards the possible AI capabilities of the Huawei P20. In fact, according to rumours, the Huawei P20 could be the first modern flagship smartphone with triple camera setup.

Design:

On to the front, the Huawei P20 is expected to have a notch similar to the Apple iPhone X. This means that the smartphone might have a Face ID like facial recognition system using two cameras. The company had claimed that the facial recognition system on its smartphone will be ten times better than Face ID.

Specifications:

The smartphone is expected to have a 6 inch 2160 x 1080 px IPS LCD display with a notch on the top. Under the hood, the smartphone will be powered by the HiSilicon Kirin 970 Octa-core chipset with 6GB RAM and 128GB storage. However, we might also see a plus version with OLED display and 8GB RAM.

Huawei P20 Lite Listed on TENAA

Huawei is expected to launch the Huawei P20 and Huawei P20 LitePlus at a launch event in Paris in March 2018. However, the P20 Lite will be launched at MWC 2018. A smartphone has been listed on the TENNA website which could possibly be the Huawei P20 Lite.

Two smartphones were listed on TENAA with a slightly different model number EML-AL00 and EML-TL00. These models could be two variants of the same smartphone, the P20 Lite. As is with a lot of TENNA listings, there are not many details mentioned in this listing as well.

Details of the listed smartphone:

Huawei P20 Lite Leaked Image

The listed smartphone comes with a metal unibody design with a Huawei logo at the bottom. The smartphone also has a dual camera setup with Leica branding. The Leica branding is reserved for the Mate and P series smartphones from the company, this might suggest that the leaked smartphone is indeed a Huawei P20 Lite.

The listed smartphone even has an Apple iPhone X like notch, which might house the necessary sensors for Face Unlock. However, it might just have a dual front-facing camera like the Honor 9 Lite.

The smartphone is expected to be powered by Huawei’s in-house HiSilicon Kirin 970 Octa-core chipset with at least 4GB RAM and 64GB storage. The device is expected to offer Android 8.1 Oreo out of the box with EMUI skin on the top.

Conclusion:

The Huawei P20 Lite will be one of the three smartphones that the company will launch in a space of one month. While the company’s own facial recognition technology seems interesting, the smartphone’s design will be a huge talking month. However, if Huawei does come up with Face Unlock for the P20 Lite, the notch would seem justified.

Leaked: Huawei P11 Plus Renders With Triple-Camera Setup

Huawei is expected to launch a few smartphones in the coming weeks. While there were reports that Huawei won’t be present at MWC 2018, the company has confirmed that it will indeed be there. This means that the company could launch the Huawei P20/P11 Plus Lite at MWC 2018 and save the marquee launch of Huawei P11 Plus for the March event.

We recently got a glimpse at what the P11 Plus Lite might look like. From the same source, we now have comprehensive renders of the Huawei P11 Plus/P20 which will be launch on the 27th of March. The renders of the smartphone look stunning and again, has a few interesting features. The build quality looks similar to the P11 Plus Lite, which means an all-glass build with a metal (possibly aluminium) frame.

On the front of the smartphone is the noticeable iPhone X-like notch. Now, Apple did not patent this sort of design but, it is the most popular smartphone right now that possesses a notch on the top. This means that every smartphone with a notch will be compared to the iPhone X and the functionality of the notch. The iPhone X houses all the hardware used for Face ID inside that notch.

Huawei, being one of the biggest smartphone makers won’t just go ahead and imitate an iPhone feature. This means that the Huawei P11 Plus or P20 will have a Face ID like facial recognition system that might use two cameras. Hence, the presence of a notch would seem justifiable. Also, the company claimed that its facial recognition system is ten times better than Face ID, which means it is more than just a software gimmick.

On the back of the smartphone is where the most-anticipated feature lies. Similar to the iPhone X, it has slightly protruded dual-camera setup. However, just underneath the dual-camera setup is another camera, which means this smartphone will be the smartphone in the world to have a triple-camera setup on the back. This feature has been rumoured for a while and Huawei’s press invite also has a few hints regarding the feature.

The Huawei P11 Plus/ P20 will be powered by the HiSilicopn Kirin 970 chipset which means it will have all the AI functionalities like the Honor View10. More leaks will follow as we move closer to the launch date.

Huawei P11 Lite Leaked In Live Images

It looks like after a period of silence, Huawei leaks have started in full swing. Only yesterday, Huawei P11 Lite was leaked in 360º renders by a popular tipster on Twitter. It has been rumoured that the Huawei P11 Lite will be launched at MWC 2018 while the Huawei P11 will be launched at a special event on 27th of March.

Right after the renders were leaked, new images of the Huawei P11 out and about in the wild have surfaced. The images show the exact design of the device that was leaked in renders and has a couple of interesting features. For starters, it has an iPhone X-like notch on the top of the display. A notch on top seems to be catching on as a trend since even Mi Mix 2S could have a slight notch if and when it is launched.

Leaked Renders

While initially, it looked like the notch will house all the hardware necessary for Huawei’s facial recognition, this doesn’t seem like the case now. In all probability, the Huawei P11 Lite will have a dual-camera setup on the front which will have some sort of Face Unlock feature. The notch is expected to house the two cameras along with sensors and an earpiece.

To the back of the smartphone is a dual-camera setup that looks similar to the iPhone X. This setup is expected to consist of an RGB sensor and a monochrome sensor, similar to a lot of other Huawei smartphones. The fingerprint sensor sits on the back which means that it has still not implemented Clear ID.

The Huawei P11 Lite could be powered by the Kirin 970 chipset which means it could have a lot of AI functionalities. However, since it is a “Lite” version, Huawei could go with the Kirin 659 chipset to place the device as a budget smartphone in countries like India.

Leaked: Huawei P11 Lite Renders With iPhone X-Like Notch

Huawei is expected to launch the Huawei P11 Lite (tentatively named) on the 27th of March. While the name is not yet confirmed and it could be named the Huawei P20 Lite as well, new renders reveal the key design elements of the upcoming device. Huawei announced in late-2017 that it was working on its own facial recognition technology gave a glimpse of it in the Honor View10 as well. However, this upcoming device is expected to have the final version which will be secure enough to store passwords and transactions.

Prolific leaker on Twitter has released a 360º render video of the device which reveals a few interesting details. First off, the front of the smartphone has an iPhone X-like notch on the display. While we have seen a lot of iPhone X knock-offs make this move, Huawei is one of the biggest smartphone makers in the world. If it decides to go for a notch, it must have a valid logic behind it.

One reason to go for a notch could be facial recognition. In order to make a secure facial recognition system, Huawei would need more than a front-facing camera and this notch could house all the hardware. This is similar to what Apple did and seems like a good option. The presence of a notch means that we will definitely see Huawei’s much-hyped facial recognition system in play.

If the notch wasn’t enough, the renders also reveal a vertically-placed dual camera setup identical to the iPhone X. However, the LED flash is placed beneath the camera module instead of between the two cameras. So far, Huawei has implemented an RGB+Monochrome dual camera setup and we could see something similar on the Huawei P11 Lite as well.

The front of the device also houses an almost edge-to-edge display with a small chin at the bottom. The device appears to have an all-glass design with a metal frame which means Huawei could also implement wireless charging in their marquee smartphone. This leak quashes the rumours of Huawei introducing a triple-lens setup on its upcoming flagship. We even saw a case renders that were leaked a few days ago.

Probably, the triple-camera setup is reserved for a flagship device that will succeed the Mate 10 Pro or the Huawei P11/P20. While OnLeaks has a great track record of leaking devices, you should always take these renders with a pinch of scepticism. The launch of the smartphone is over a month away and more leaks are expected to follow.

Case Renders Of Huawei P11/P20

Expected Specifications

With bezels getting thinner, the standard size of a smartphone has increased from 5.5 inches to 6 inches. The Huawei P11 Lite is expected to have a 6 inch display with a 2880 x 1440 px resolution. Just like the Mate 10, Huawei could use an OLED panel as well. As seen in the renders, the corners are curved which means an OLED panel is expected on the Huawei P11 Lite as well.

Under the hood, it will have the HiSilicon Kirin 970 chipset along with 6GB or 8GB of RAM.

More specifications of the device are expected to b revealed as we move closer to the official launch.

Leaked: Cases For Huawei P20 With Triple-Lens Camera Leaked

Huawei will be launching a new smartphone on the 27th of March. Everyone is anticipating the company to launch the Huawei P11 or P20. The latest leak reveals the design of the upcoming smartphone.

According to the new leaked images of the protective cases for the Huawei P20, the smartphone will have a tall display and a triple-lens camera. An interesting aspect in the images is the placement of the fingerprint sensor. According to these images, Huawei will place the fingerprint sensor on the front, housed inside the bottom bezels.

Other than that, a good news is that the company will retain the headphone jack for the P20. These images also confirm that the Huawei P20 will come with a triple-lens camera.

A recent advertisement design was leaked which revealed that an upcoming Huawei phone will have a triple-lens camera at the back. According to the images, the next generation P11 will feature a 40MP Leica triple-lens camera setup with 5x hybrid zoom and a 24MP front-facing sensor.

Huawei announced its new facial recognition technology and claimed that it is faster and more accurate than Apple’s Face ID. While it did not reveal which smartphone will be the first one to feature this technology, many speculate that the Huawei P11 might be the first phone to come with Huawei’s own rendition of Face ID and the famous animojis.

There were rumours that just like the iPhone X, Huawei P20 will also have a notch at the top of the display to house all the sensors required for facial recognition.

With a launch date confirmed, the Huawei P20 seems more or less confirmed. More leaks are expected to be revealed as we move closer to the launch.

LG And Huawei To Skip MWC 2018 Launch Because Of Samsung

Mobile World Congress is scheduled to take place from the 26th of February to 1st March 2018. Apart from concepts and futuristic phones, a lot of consumer-ready devices are expected to be announced as well. Without a doubt, the most anticipated launch is that of the Samsung Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9+. Samsung is the biggest smartphone manufacturer in the world and the Samsung Galaxy S9, S9+ are its marquee phones for 2018 (until the Galaxy Note9 is launched) hence, are expected to grab most of the headlines. Other smartphone makers like Sony and Xiaomi are also expected to announce their new flagship devices as well.

While some companies would bite the bullet and launch their smartphones around the same time the Galaxy S9 and S9+ will launch, LG and Huawei appear to have other plans. According to a report, Huawei P20 (tentatively named) and LG V30+ Alpha will not be announced at MWC as the companies feel the launch of Samsung’s flagship devices will grab the spotlight.

Galaxy S9, S9+ Expected Design

LG not announcing a flagship smartphone at MWC is not surprising since it is reported that the LG G7 will be completely reworked. Even though LG re Even though the company announced strong financials for Q4 2017, the mobile division has continued to lose money. This prompted the CEO to announce that the company will no longer follow the yearly smartphone release cycle. It was reported that the LG V30+ Alpha, an extension of the LG V30 will be launched at MWC 2018.

An LG spokesperson confirmed that the company has a few announcements planned for MWC, but, if there will be no flagship phone announcement planned, it would be interesting to see what LG has in store for us. It could be a foldable smartphone concept for all we know.

As for Huawei, there was a leak of the company’s roadmap which pegged the Huawei P20 for a Q2 2018 release hence, an MWC announcement of the device was a fair assumption. But, the Chinese smartphone maker has remained tight-lipped on its plan for the next P-series smartphone. Just like it did for the Mate 10 Pro, Huawei could host a launch event right after MWC to unveil the new smartphone but, this is all speculation as of now.

However, neither of the companies have confirmed anything pertaining to this report which means that anything is possible come February 26th.
