We will soon see Huawei's answer to the Galaxy S20 The company will take the virtual stage Thursday (March 26) at a streaming event to unveil its next flagship phone, the Huawei P40

Huawei phones are hard to come by in the US thanks to a trade dispute between China and the Trump administration But Huawei continues to have a presence in Europe and especially Asia, even though US sanctions from that trade dispute have forced the company not to include Google's apps and Play Store in its recent phones

Expect more details on how Huawei is handling life without Google and what hardware changes it is introducing with the P40 announcement during Thursday's live stream The event begins at 9:00 am EDT/6:00 pm PDT and there are many ways to watch Huawei is streaming the P40 event on YouTube, and it can also be viewed on Facebook and Huawei UK's Twitter feed Huawei offers the stream in six languages: English, Spanish, French, Italian, Arabic, and Russian

Photography is likely to be a major focus at the P40 launch The #VisionaryPhotography hashtag on the live stream's preview page will provide a clue Cameras have also been the focus of most of the rumors surrounding the P40 series, which could include the P40 Pro and P40 Premium Edition in addition to the standard models

The back of the P40 is expected to feature three to five rear lenses, depending on which model we are talking about Huawei's main shooter for the phone is expected to be a 52MP sensor This will be joined by a 40MP ultra-wide-angle lens and a telephoto lens that will support 10x optical zoom in all models A time-of-flight sensor is also rumored for some models, and a second telephoto lens may be added to the P40 Premium Edition
