Huawei P30 Pro to come with quad camera setup

Huawei P30 Pro, successor to the Huawei P20 Pro, will come with quad camera setup, the company has confirmed in a statement. The new P series comprising of P30 and P30 Pro will be launched on March 26 in Paris.

Huawei Consumer Business Group CEO Richard Yu has share a photo of the moon in celebration of the Chinese Lantern Festival which is today, and confirms the number of cameras on the Huawei P30 Pro.

As seen in the image above, the watermark reads “HUAWEI *** Pro” and Leica QU** CAMERA”. It is easy to decode that the covered alphabets after “QU” are “A” and “D” to form the word “QUAD”.

Both the smartphones are expected to come with high-end octa core processor and could be launched in two variants 8GB and 12GB. The Huawei P30 Pro is expected to be one of the first phones to come with Sony’s IMX607’s 38MP camera sensor. One of the secondary cameras is rumoured to have a periscope lens for a higher optical zoom, while other one is expected to be a wide-angle lens. The fourth camera could be a time of flight sensor (ToF) sensor.

Both the P30 and P30 Pro will be powered by the HiSilicon Kirin 980.

‘The company's strong business position follows among others from the success of the sale of flagship smartphones - the P20 and Mate20 series combined with the continued demand for products from the medium price segment, among others P series smart. At the end of March this year Huawei will present in Paris the latest smartphones from the flagship P series,’ the company said in an earlier press statement.

Huawei’s global smartphone shipments in 2018 crossed 200 million units, thanks to the success of Huawei P20 and Mate 20 series. According to a global consulting agency Brand Finance, Huawei has been ranked 12th on the ‘Brand Finance Global 500 2019’ with an increase in its brand value by more than 63 per cent.
