Huawei will present its next flagship phones, the P40, and the P40 Pro, on March 26 at an event in Paris, the company announced today (via Android Central).
However, unlike their impressive P-series predecessors, the P40s will not have access to Google’s various applications and services (including the Google Play Store) as the White House has banned US companies from doing business with the Chinese giant Telecommunications Huawei Mate 30 Pro was launched under similar restrictions last year.
Furthermore, Google addressed the situation on Friday and discouraged consumers from trying to divert their software.
The new devices are expected to launch with 120Hz displays on both models, with three cameras on the P40 and five cameras on the P40 Pro. The phones will ship with Huawei Android 10 and EMUI 10, reports Android Central.
The filtered images showed the P40 Pro with a large camera to house the five lenses, a screen without notches with a self-drilling camera, without a headphone jack, a USB-C port on the bottom and curved sides.

The previously filtered images also showed the P40 in six different colors, including mint green.
This is the third time Huawei has launched its new P-series model in Paris in March, so the plan does not necessarily respond to the canceled Mobile World Congress. Huawei CEO Richard Yu has described the P40 Pro as the “most powerful 5G flagship in the world.”
