Title: Leakers claim that Huawei is including everything but the kitchen sink in the P40 and P40 Pro
Post by: Redaktion on December 16, 2019, 14:13:15
Seven cameras, a graphene 5,500 mAh battery, 50 W charging, along with a 98% screen-to-body ratio and 120 Hz capable 6.5-inch display? Those are just some of the Huawei P40 series supposed specs, according to two prominent leakers. Hyperbole, or the makings a flagship to rule 2020?

What about 3.5mm headphone jack? IR blaster? High powered DAC? Replaceable battery? Their version of the S-pen or Apple pencil? Front-facing speakers?

I mean if they're REALLY going to throw everything in...

No 4K UHD+ (not old 2013 QHD 2K)
No 6000+mAh battery to surpass ROG 2
No S-Pen functionality
No game triggers on the side
No 8K recording
No AR/VR feature
No screen sharing to other smartphones, etc.
No GMS

Hardly the kitchen sink. Maybe Huawei has thrown in the toilet plunger.

Oh God: screen-to-body ratio is still the most meaningless statistic to me. I would rather have the manufacturer focus on improving usability and comfort of the phone via some design improvements to the front, sides and back.

Nobody's twisting your arm to buy it. Besides, would all your wishes be inside of the phone, price would be at least double if not triple of what it's probably gonna be. And since most of us still don't prefer coughing out €2k+ for a smartphone something tells me your expectations will not be fulfilled anytime soon.

Btw.:
S-Pen is a very useful gadget while not exactly groundbreaking, 8K - well anyone who knows anything about a human eye will laugh at the term, IR is in 2019/2020 and beyond about as useful as chopsticks,..
What people should really be hyped about is revolution of batteries. While everything else evolved massively in the last few years, batteries are (in principle) quite cave-like and have stayed that way for decades. Graphene and similar materials offer a glimpse into near future and implementation of them into smartphones will jump-start innovations previously impossible or simply not wort pursuing economically.  ;)
