As it continues to expand its mid-range and entry-level portfolio with launches with or without Google Services, Huawei continues to be immersed in the development of its upcoming flagships. On the nearest horizon we have the new Mate 40 series , but soon after, at the beginning of 2021, the Huawei P50 and its variants will also debut. The latest news that comes to us from each device surprise in equal parts.
Clearly, Huawei’s plans have been disrupted in a way they never expected. This has opened the eyes of the company, which works against the clock to shake off dependence on Google, something it will also try to convince its customers.
Huawei Mate 40, without hidden selfie camera
During the last few weeks, the rumor has spread like wildfire that Huawei could have the first hidden front camera on the market , developed by Visionox. However, it seems that the technology doesn’t seem to be as mature as it might seem. On this occasion, it has been the famous Chinese filter Digital Chat Station that has assured that the Mate 40 will not have this type of selfie camera.
According to him, he has had access to an engineering sample of the Mate 40 where he has been able to verify this absence in person. Recall that this type of front camera, allows to achieve an all-screen design, without notch, holes and even without pop-up cameras. After the career of this technology are other manufacturers such as OPPO, Xiaomi or even Samsung, since it has also sounded strongly for the next Note 20 of the Koreans.
Huawei P50, the first without Kirin?
However, the latest rumors about the P50 series are even more surprising, since according to sources in the company’s supply chain and collected by Huawei Central, the next family will not have Kirin processors . This is due to the recent restriction of the United States government and that prevents TSMC, supplier of HiSilicon, from developing processors for Huawei.
It is a dry braking for the Huawei Kirin, which in recent years had experienced enviable growth in terms of performance, energy management or AI functions. It is very likely that Huawei will have to seek the hand of MediaTek , however, for the moment we are only faced with industry rumors. It was at the beginning of June when Wang Yonggang, the General Manager of Huawei, confirmed that the P40 series had entered development and that it will integrate, among other innovations, new camera technologies.
