4. Huawei P40
The Huawei P40 and P40 Pro will succeed last year’s Huawei P30 and P30 Pro smartphones, and will take on Samsung Galaxy S20 lineup in the upper premium segment.

The Huawei P40 Pro, on the other hand, is expected to sport a curved OLED display with an impressive 120Hz refresh rate and elongated punch-hole for dual selfie cameras. The handset will also have Kirin 990 SoC under the hood, but for photography, it may sport penta-camera setup at the back.
