Coming in hot off of the launch of the Mate 30 series, Huawei is set to unveil a new all-screen smartphone next week. In a tweet posted by Jeb Su, VP of Advanced Technologies, Principal Analyst and Technology Futurist at Atherton Research, Huawei will announce the new device on October 17th in France.
With the Huawei Mate 30 series launched last month and the Huawei Mate X launching this month, the unnamed Huawei device may officially launch next year.
The device will be all-screen with an in-display selfie camera and fingerprint reader. Tech to make in-display selfie cameras is still in its early stages although we’ve OPPO and Xiaomi show off their prototypes.
The flare on the top right could be a punch-hole camera. It’s hard to tell.

If Huawei will still be on Trumps’s trade blacklist, it might not launch with a Google-approved Android version. But things might change.
Powering the new device could be the Kirin 990 or Kirin 1000 Soc. The Kirin 990 processor is featured on the Mate 30 series and the Mate X. The Kirin 1000 is expected to launch with next years Mate 40 series and pack more transistors than its predecessor which currently boasts of having 10.3 billion transistors. A more powerful ARM Cortex-A77 CPU will also be on the SoC.
We’ll keep you posted on new updates.
