Huawei to equip P40 Pro with graphene battery

The Chinese manufacturer should be the first to release a high-end smartphone equipped with a graphene battery. It is the promise of more resistant, enduring and smaller batteries, but also of much faster recharges. Perhaps to be discovered in February with the P40 and P40 Pro.

While the P30 Pro can claim to be the number 1 photo in smartphones, what is Huawei preparing for us with its successor, the P40 Pro? To find out, you have to ask Yash Raj Chaudhary , one of the most knowledgeable insiders in the industry, and he has been quite successful in taking on this new model.

He tells us that it will be the first smartphone equipped with a graphene battery , and it will be of size: 5,000 mAh. This technological choice has three advantages. First, it allows you to create more enduring and powerful batteries without cutting back on volume . It would even be 30% smaller than a conventional battery. Then it is a material more secure and resistant. Finally, its properties allow much faster recharge cycles.

Ultra-fast charging

Qualities that complement Lithium-ion, always present in batteries, and if the promise is kept, the P40 Pro could therefore strike a blow on the smartphone market, and be a pioneer. Besides, Huawei seems determined to play the energy card with a very comfortable battery (5,000 mAh), but also a fast 50W charger  . Again, a promise: recharge the smartphone to 100% in 45 minutes !

It will be necessary to compensate for very greedy equipment like a  6.5 inch Oled screen, capable of displaying images in QHD + with a refresh rate of 120 Hz . Compatible with 5G , the device would be powered by a Kirin 990 chip, and if we do not know its RAM  or its storage space, we do know that it will be equipped with six sensors .

Like the Redmi K30 , there are four on the back, with first a Sony sensor of 64 million pixels , surrounded by an ultra-wide angle of 20 million pixels, a zoom integrated in a sensor 12 MP, a final lens for macro mode. On the front, two holes for two sensors dedicated to selfies . For availability, it will probably be necessary to wait for MWC 2020, in February, to see it.
