Huawei’s official Weibo post doesn’t divulge any further details, but we can expect more teasers to appear in the days leading up to the event. According to the latest rumors, the Huawei P60 series will consist of at least two devices: a vanilla P60 model and a P60 Pro.

Huawei P60 Pro is expected to bring a pair of 50MP camera modules with a Sony IMX888 main sensor and an IMX858 module for ultrawide. We’re also expecting a 64MP OmniVision OV64B sensor with 3.5x magnification. The vanilla P60 phone is expected to launch with a 52MP main camera (IMX789) alongside a 50MP ultrawide (IMX858) and a 16MP telephoto (IMX351). Both phones are expected to launch with a Qualcomm 8-series chipset – presumably an LTE-only variant of the Snapdrgoan 8 Gen 2 SoC.
