The Huawei Mate 20 and Mate 20 Pro are all set to launch at an event scheduled for 16th October in London, UK. With just a few days to go for the launch, majority of the specifications and features, along with design renders of the Mate 20 Pro, have been leaked. But, now, a new report has surfaced which gives us a better look at what are the alleged press renders of the lesser-endowed sibling, the Mate 20. The leaked images show a significantly smaller, waterdrop-style notch and a rear-mounted fingerprint sensor.
The leaked images and specs come from a very reputed tipster Roland Quandt who writes for German blog WinFuture.de. The report suggests that the Huawei Mate 20 will feature a 6.43-inch full-HD+ TFT LCD panel with a resolution of 1080×2244 pixels and resulting aspect ratio of 18.7:9.
The notch at the top appears much smaller than the one leaked in images of the Huawei Mate 20 Pro last week. This has reportedly been made possible because Mate 20 will not feature laser sensors for facial recognition, unlike the Mate 20 Pro.
The Huawei Mate 20 is expected to be powered by an octa-core HiSilicon Kirin 980 SoC, paired with 4GB/ 6GB/ 8GB of RAM and 64GB/ 128GB/ 256GB/ 512GB of UFS 2.1 inbuilt storage. Storage will vary by country and network operator. The device is expected to be a 4,000mAh battery.
Huawei will also be introducing a new nanoSD card slot with expansion up to 128GB.
At the back of the smartphone, the Huawei Mate 20 will sport a triple camera setup much like the Mate 20 Pro. While it is reported to get a 40-megapixel primary sensor, specifications for the other two are not available yet. The phone is expected to retain the 3.5mm headphone jack, unlike the Mate 20 Pro.
