Huawei P40 series tipped for a March 2020 launch

While the flagship Huawei P40 will get a "never-before-seen" design, rumour has it that the Huawei P40 Lite will look like the just-launched Huawei Nova 6 SE pictured above

Huawei will reportedly launch its next flagship, the Huawei P40, in March 2020 in Paris, France. We don't have an exact date yet, but Frandroid reports that the phone will not come with Google Play Services. In its place, Huawei Mobile Services will be available. The change means you won't be able to download apps from the Play Store. But the phone will still launch with Android 10-based EMUI, just like when the P30 Pro and Mate 30 Pro launched. Of course, the lack of Google Play Services might put a damper in sales on this side of the world.

Huawei CEO Richard Yu said the Huawei P40 series will have a "never-before-seen" design, better picture quality, improved performance, and boosted AI. Admittedly, this is a promise that we come to expect from new flagships from any company, but we want to see how Huawei delivers. And if at this point, the US will finally lift its ban on Huawei.
