Technology Today

The Huawei P40 lineup will officially launch on March 26 in Paris, France, the companys CEO Richard Yu reportedly confirmed.Yu made the announcement while unveiling the Huawei Mate XS, per GSMArena.
Clearly, the introduction of a refined version of their first foldable - the Huawei Mate X, which hasnt been released outside China - hasnt slowed down the companys typical smartphone release cadence.The P-series has traditionally launched early in the year (in Spring or Q2), and indeed, the Huawei P30 and P30 Pro launched on March 26, 2019.
This year, were expecting the typical Huawei P40 and higher-end Huawei P40 Pro, as well as the potential for additional P40 Lite and Huawei P40 Pro Premium editions, though we arent sure if theyll all launch on the same day.Like the P30 before it, were expecting improved cameras on the Huawei P40 and P40 Pro.
Weve heard plenty of rumors by now, many of which contradict or arent specific about which models get which setups.For instance, a rumor suggests the P40 Pro will get a five-camera array consisting of a 64MP main lens, a 12MP telephoto allegedly capable of up to 10x optical zoom, an ultrawide lens, a depth sensor, and finally a macro camera for up-close shots.Like other phones, theres also claims the main camera (which might be 64MP and might be 52MP) may use an extreme form of pixel binning to combine 16 pixels into 1 in a process thats allegedly called Quad Quad Bayer.
This shrinks the shot quality down to 3.25MP, but should dramatically improve low-light performance.Whether these lenses and capabilities make it to the standard P40 or other as-yet unconfirmed phones in the P40 lineup is unclear, but at least we have a release date to look forward to.With such powerful cameras, will the Huawei P40 Pro land on our overall best phones list?
