Huawei P20 and P20 Pro are set to be launched in India soon. Both smartphones were unveiled by the Chinese company at an event in Paris earlier this week as the successors to the Huawei P10. The smartphones include AI-powered camera features and proprietary optics "co-engineered" with Leica. Huawei has released a teaser on its official website that hints the launch of the new models in the Indian market.
Without specifying any availability schedule, the teaser hosted on the Huawei site reads, "Coming Sooon in India". The three O letters in the teaser line points to the Huawei P20 Pro that sports three cameras on the back. The P20 Pro is likely to debut alongside the cheaper, Huawei P20 model. It is also expected that the company will retain its partnership with Flipkart to sell the new smartphones in the country through the online marketplace.
