Huawei consumer division CEO Yu Chengdong recently announced that the company's latest flagship P10 and P10 Plus will be released on March or April this year. It was also revealed that the P10 will sport a non-curved design, while the P10 Plus will have a curved screen.

Release Date According to CEO

Chengdong's recent announcement that the next generation flagship smartphones of Huawei will get a spring release makes a lot of sense considering that its predecessors P9 and P9 Plus were released April last year, Phone Arena reported. Chendong didn't reveal any other specs besides the curved screen display for P10 Plues and non-curved screen display of P10. There were earlier reports that the P10 will have a dual curved screen design, which is now debunked.

Though, there are yet to be official reports on the specs of the Huawei's flagship smartphones for 2017, there are rumors that it will come with the company's own HiSilicon Kirin 960 SoC, GSM Arena reported. It is also rumored that the smarphones will come with a 5.5-inch QHD Touchscreen displays with 6B RAM and 256GB worth of storage.

The chip is expected to have four high powered Cortex-A73 and four moderate Cortex-A53 CPU cores. The devices will also have the Mali-G71 MP8 GPU. For better image quality, Huawei worked with Leica once again for its dual camera setup. Other rumored specs include dual-edge displays, wireless charging, and on-screen fingerprint sensors. 

Besides these two flagship line-up, Huawei is on the process of developing the P10 Lite. The tech company is also working on two projects codenamed Victoria and Vicky, which are rumored successors to Huawei's Nova series. This means the new projects are budget devices.

There are no official reports on the price range of the new smartphones yet, but the Mate 9 phablet was priced at $600, just to get a perspective.
