The smartphone is reported to have an in-display fingerprint sensor, though it is unclear whether it would be an optical sensor or an all-new ultrasonic one. For taking pictures and recording videos, the Mate 20 Pro is said to have a triple camera setup at the back that could have a 40-megapixel primary sensor along with an f/1.8 aperture and combine four pixels into one to deliver impressive results, 20-megapixel secondary sensor along with an f/2.4 aperture, and an 8-megapixel ultra wide-angle sensor. There could also be a 24-megapixel sensor at the front along with a Vertical Surface Emitting Laser (VSEL) module that is rumoured to enable 3D facial recognition similar to Apple's Face ID.

To deliver enhanced image results, the Huawei Mate 20 Pro is said to have two NPUs that will help the hardware analyse the image content and then adjust the settings accordingly. The triple camera setup at the back is also rumoured to enable 5x optical zoom and the ability to capture ultra macro shots from an as short distance as 2.5cm.

The handset is additionally reported to have wireless charging support and can double as a wireless charger for the Huawei's Freebuds 2 headphones that are rumoured to arrive at the October 16 event.
