No ban can stop this phone from going out

While the Mobile World Congress will no longer push through, Huawei is gearing up to unveil its new Huawei P40 series lineup of devices. Of course, one of the devices to look out for is the new Huawei P40 Pro — the successor to the P30 Pro. Even with a cancelled MWC and on-and-off bans from major markets, the company seems undeterred to show you what it’s got.

Here’s what we know so far about the Huawei P40 Pro:

Phone design

Leaked photos and renders online suggest that the Huawei P40 Pro will come with a curved display. On the display, these leaks also show that the phone will come with a punch-hole camera on the upper left. The punch-hole camera setup, at the very least suggests that the phone will come with a dual selfie camera setup. In terms of the quality of the lenses of the dual selfie camera, nothing has been revealed yet.

Other photos are also suggesting that the Huawei P40 Pro will look relatively similar to that of its less powerful brother, the Huawei P40. There are reports that claim that both models will come in five different colors: Black, Blush Gold, Silver Frost, Deep Sea Blue, and Ice White with a rumored Mint Green. Also, no renders or leaks have shown any sign of a headphone jack on the device, so it’s possible that this is the direction Huawei wants to go.

The camera setup

Renders of the main cameras on the Huawei P40 Pro show Leica sensors, much similar to how the past Huawei P Series smartphones. One report from Somag News suggests that a Sony IMX700 CMOS sensor will be in the P40 series, with a resolution of 52MP. If this is true, this means that Huawei has opted not to follow their competitors in incorporating high-resolution sensors to their flagships.

Leaks also suggest a sort of camera bump at the back of the phone because of this setup. These renders show that Huawei is opting for a quad-camera setup for the P40 Pro, highlighted by the previously mentioned Sony IMX700 sensor. The main camera could also come with a 40MP ultra-wide-angle lens and a 10x optical zoom sensor, which could perform better in low light situations.

The big reveals

One thing that Huawei made sure of was that they plan to launch the P40 series sometime late March of this year. Some had anticipated that the now-cancelled Mobile World Congress was going to be the company’s main platform to tease the new phone.

Of course, if the US ban on Huawei is still in effect by the time of its actual release, expect that the phone won’t come with any native Google apps. Instead, Huawei plans to incorporate its Huawei Mobile Services suite, which is still miles behind the Google Suite.

Computex 2026

The new NVIDIA RTX Spark laptops are AI PCs on steroids

Published

“Useful AI has arrived,” NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang proclaimed in his monumental keynote speech to kick off COMPUTEX 2026, essentially admitting to the state of AI prior to today. But don’t let the past mess with how you view the present. AI today, according to the graphics-turned-AI company, will now serve everyday users, rather than procuring abstract and intangible benefits. For us normal people, it all starts with the new RTX Spark.

Rarely does a new product claim to reinvent the entire industry. Confident in its own abilities, that’s just what the RTX Spark wants to do. But what is it exactly?

Think of it like Microsoft’s Copilot+ PCs but on AI-powered steroids. NVIDIA wants to bring the power of a supercomputer into the hands of regular consumers, just like how the personal computer (PC) brought gigantic computers to the comfort of everyone’s homes.

Co-engineered with Microsoft, RTX Spark will run autonomous AI agents the entire day. The agent is tied to you and your intent but will orchestrate all your devices under one roof.

Let’s get down to the nitty-gritty. The new series will leverage a Blackwell RTX GPU and a 20-core Grace CPU from MediaTek. It can also support up to 128GB of unified memory, delivering several of the most powerful (and most expensive) PCs available to consumers today. With the capabilities comparable to an RTX 5070, the series can supposedly play modern games with ease.

Inside, it will come with CUDA, the trove of information that powers AI technology today. Finally, despite how slim NVIDIA promises the series will be, the RTX Spark should come with a battery that lasts the entire day.

The first NVIDIA RTX Spark laptops will launch later this fall with six premium laptops for various brands. This, along with the 30 models launching soon after, will include Acer, ASUS, Dell, HP, Lenovo, and MSI. No word yet on how much these will cost, though.
