First Samsung announced a smartphone with a hole-punch display, then Huawei followed suit. Now it looks like we can add Motorola to the list of companies prepping a new phone with a hole-punch screen.
The Motorola P40 may have just been revealed by a new set of renders. Posted by @OnLeaks and 91mobiles, the images show a phone with a hole-punch display that’s said to measure 6.2 inches. There are slim bezels around the screen, save for the chin that’s large enough to fit Motorola’s branding.
Around back we can see a dual camera setup, including one sensor that’s said to be of the 48MP variety. There’s a fingerprint reader with Motorola’s logo on it, too, as well as Android One branding that suggests that the P40 should have a relatively untouched build of Android. These renders also appear to show a USB-C port for charging and a 3.5mm headphone jack.
The details we still don’t know about this device include its launch date and its price. The Motorola P30 that launched earlier this year is a mid-range handset that starts at 2099 yuan ($306 USD) in China, so it’s possible we’ll see something similar with the P40, though there’s also a chance that that 48MP rear camera could make the P40 a little pricier.
With Samsung, Honor, and possibly now Motorola adopting the hole-punch display design, it’s increasingly looking like that could be a popular smartphone trend in 2019. It does help phone makers get a bit closer to that all-screen design that everyone wants, and while there’s still a cutout for the front camera, the hole-punch is at least in the corner and not right at the top of the screen.
What do you think of this Motorola P40?
