Huawei P70 series is expected to launch soon as a successor to the Huawei P60 lineup. The upcoming series may include a base, a Pro and an Art variant, similar to its preceding models.

Now, a leak of the phone's protective cover has hinted at the camera module of the Huawei P70. The purported handset is expected to come with a redesigned camera module as compared to the current Huawei P60 model.
