Released in 2020, the Huawei P40 Pro is expected to feature a graphene battery upgrade, according to recent highlights.
Graphene, a sheet of carbon atoms bound together in a honeycomb pattern, is a highly conductive and lightweight material that could significantly improve battery performance.
According to daily trends, Huawei may introduce graphene technology to the P40's battery without increasing its volume, allowing for faster charging and improved energy density.
Graphene batteries have been shown to have a 45% increase in capacity and can charge five times faster than traditional lithium-ion batteries, according to the Samsung Institute of Technology.
Huawei has already experimented with graphene technology in its batteries, unveiling new lion batteries enhanced with graphene in 2016. These batteries support higher temperatures and have a longer lifespan.
The P40 Pro is also expected to feature a 6.5-inch OLED screen with a 120Hz refresh rate, a dual punch selfie camera, and a similar waterfall design as the Mate 30 Pro.
Other rumored features include a five-sensor camera system produced with Leica, a 64-megapixel main camera lens, and a 20-megapixel ultrawide lens.
