Huawei Might Be Ahead Of Samsung In Battery Tech With Huawei P40 Pro

Huawei is preparing for the launch of its flagship Huawei P40 and P40 Pro smartphones in early 2020. The Huawei P40 lineup is expected to carry a lot of improvements, especially new and breakthrough technologies. In particular, the most important technology will be the battery.

According to the latest leak, Huawei will equip the P40 Pro with a massive 5,500 mAh battery, made from ultra-durable and ultra-light graphene. With this new material, the P40 Pro's 5,500 mAh battery will be about 70% the size of a lithium-ion battery with the same capacity. In addition, Huawei P40 Pro also supports 50W fast charging technology, allowing to fully charge the battery from 0% to 100% in just 45 minutes.

Prior to Huawei, Samsung also conducted research and manufacturing graphene batteries. However, so far, the Korean giant has not launched any commercial products. Most likely, Huawei will surpass Samsung to commercialize graphene batteries, creating a new technological revolution.

In addition, according to the leaked source, Huawei P40 Pro will be equipped with a 6.5-inch waterfall screen, OLED panel, QuadHD + resolution, and 120Hz refresh rate. The screen ratio will occupy 98% of the front, meaning the bezel and edges will be very thin.

The rear camera cluster of the P40 Pro will be a 5-camera setup, using a Leica lens. Meanwhile, there is a dual selfie camera with a super wide-angle lens at the front. However, it is not clear which operating systems Huawei P40 and P40 Pro will run, and will be pre-installed with Google services?

Sadly, the new leak doesn’t mention when the series will be released. There are also no details regarding the duo’s price. Since the Huawei P30 lineup was announced in March, the brand might release the Huawei P40 series at the same timeline.
