Huawei's P30 series will launch on March 26th

Huawei has announced a special P30 series launch event in Paris, which will take place on March 26th, 2019 almost a full month after MWC wraps up in Barcelona.

Huawei staged a similar event for the P20 last year, also in Paris and also a month after the mobile convention, so this event didn't exactly come out of left field


The most immediate effect of this invitation to mark to our calendars is that it signals there will be no Huawei flagship phone at the upcoming Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.

Given the relative dearth of leaks regarding any new Huawei phones, that might have been taken for a given, but now we know that there is still another month before the reveal of the P30.

Then again, with all the high specs and performance of the Huawei Mate 20 Pro, the company can feel comfortable, even after MWC is concluded, that it has one of the leading smartphones on the market already.

The company didn't reveal anything more than the date and the location of the launch, but the promo video it posted on Twitter hints at what could be one of its biggest offerings.

It features prominent spots in Paris, including the Eiffel Tower and the Arc de Triomphe, dramatically zooming in on them until their finer details are perfectly visible on screen.

According to previous reports, the P30 Pro might come with a periscope-like camera to enable lossless optical zoom.

The video didn't contain anything about reviving the headphone jack, though, so you'll likely have to wait until next month to find out for sure.
