Huawei P40 Pro Plus

P40 Pro Plus, P40 Pro and P40: Everything Huawei just announced

The P40 Pro Plus camera system sounds really awesome.

The launch event was due to take place in Paris, but due to restrictions imposed by the coronavirus pandemic, it was  pared back to an online-only event. 

The Leica camera is clearly the highlight. On top of the aforementioned features, the P40 Pro Plus has improved white balance sensors. They all have a new Golden Snap feature, which chooses the best photo out of a burst, automated removal of random people in the background and reflections. You can also get new accessories, including a Profoto studio light (Profoto is a major studio-photography player) and an underwater case.

Even the front-facing camera is a lot more advanced,  32MP f2.2 with ambient and proximity sensors and 4K selfie video plus a depth sensor for computational defocus, low-light face unlock.

For video, it uses pixel binning of 16 pixels for improved low-light sensitivity, lets you take 4K time lapses at telephoto, dual video capture (wide and tele simultaneously) and directional audio computed from three omnidirectional mics.

Inside, it incorporates a Kirin 990 5G processor, a slot that accommodates either dual SIMs or a SIM and a nanomemory card, Wi-Fi 6 Plus and 40 watt wireless charging.

Its new interface has improved swipe-from-side multiwindow support and a multidevice control panel. You can also interact with Huawei's new assistant, Celia.
