Huawei P40 Pro might flaunt 10X zoom lens, Galaxy S11+ alleged to come with 5X zoom
The Huawei P40 Pro is expected to once again surprise us with the longest zoom lens ever put on a mainstream flagship phone: leaks now say that the P40 Pro will feature a 10X periscope zoom lens, allowing you to zoom further with more clarity. Last year, the P30 Pro raised the bar with a 5X periscope zoom lens, a feature that Samsung is expected to implement in its 2020 Galaxy S11.

New design, old problems with US Gov’t
Just a couple of days ago, we saw the first leaked photos of the Huawei P40 Pro and the design definitely stands out. Huawei uses a slightly curved glass not just at the sides of the phone, but also at the top and the bottom. This means that you have the aluminum frame protect the phone at the edges and this peculiarity should also be reflected in the actual cases for the phone.
The biggest question surrounding this new flagship phone by Huawei, however, remains the company’s problems with the US Government that ban it from including Google services on its latest phones. A phone with no Google Play Store, no YouTube, no Gmail, no Google Maps and the rest is pretty much useless and Huawei itself has chosen not to sell such a phone in Western Europe. So far, it seems that there will be no deal that would change that for Huawei by March 2020 when the P40 Pro is expected to launch.
