At least two new Mate phones are expected on October 22, and we still know surprisingly little.

      That camera bump is nice looking. It's centered and symmetrical. Better than most other hideous bumps.

        It's supposed to be an aesthetically pleasing phone, Huawei, not a camera

          Many Chinese firms, Aliexpress etc. have stocks in Europe nowadays to.
          I bought 5 flagship phones the last 4 years on Aliexpress, 3 of them send with DHL from European stock.
          You see an example here, send from Spain with DHL ✔️✔️✔️

            So many peoples calling the camera design ugly, but I prefer having a phone that FINALLY have the 5 major lens types (Wide, Ultra-Wide, Portrait, Telephoto, Macro) that each have their use, over a "beautiful design" that lack the important ones.

            Though, it is possible and would be the better option to combine all those into a single exterior main element lens, split into two periscope (one for short focal length going from Wide to Ultra-Wide, and the other for long focal length for 1x magnification up to *x (5x, 10x ?) with a deep focus range and depth of field control to allow optical Portrait and Macro) that feed a single, super high quality sensor, then put one or two depth sensor, resulting in a more than good looking design, cheaper and excellent quality of pictures.

            What I do find ugly though is the horrible dual punch holes and those curved displays (that in pictures, with the good angle look good, but look quite bad in real life), the single sensor solution could allow a see through periscope pop up to utilise both the main sensor and the depth sensor(s) for 3D facial recognition and allowing to get rid of the punch hole horror.

            Anyway, most peoples don't even look at the back of their phone more than once per month, so who care how it look, practicality is way better than appearance in that case.
            I'd prefer a thicker device that could get rid of the stupid camera hump, allow larger battery and a full set of features over a slim and limited phone with a camera that make it unstable laying down without a case.

                        Yikes that camera design is ugly

                          Octagon looks but also sounds powerful. From pure naming it could be mate40, pro, pro+, RS. Leaks like this pic or processing power are cool enough, but there is even thermometer going on.

                            Never expected such ugliness from Huawei 😨😨

                                it will be the cameraphone of the year until at least next summerlike the p40 pro series were, shame it most probably wont be available anywhere but china and a few asian countries if their chip procurement numbers are to be believed, 8million ish kirin 9000, im sure it will also cost a pretty sum as well, i think the p40 pro + was £1400 in the UK
