Smartphones expected in April 2019: Huawei P30 Pro, Oppo Reno, Realme 3 Pro and more

March was a month filled with a number of key launches including the Galaxy S10 series, the Redmi Note 7 Series going on sale, Vivo V15 and V15 Pro and the Galaxy A Series. While that's already saturated the budget and mid-range smartphone a fair bit, April does not seem to be any quieter. Here's a look at the smartphones expected to launch in April, along with what we know about them so far. Huawei P30 and P30 Pro Huawei recently unveiled its first flagship of the year at an event in Paris. The phone is yet to arrive in India and Huawei hasn't announced a launch date yet. However, the P30 series is very likely coming to India this month and is definitely one of the most anticipated launches of the month.

Huawei has put triple cameras on the standard Huawei P30 model and quad-cameras on the Huawei P30 Pro smartphone this time. The P30 Pro which is the variant expected to arrive in India has a slightly taller 6.47-inch OLED display. In terms of optics, the P30 Pro sports a 40 MP primary camera with f/1.6 lens and OIS support, a 20 MP wide-angle camera with f/2.2 lens and an 8 MP camera that is said to have “periscope” zoom system. The fourth camera on the phone is a ToF (Time of Flight) camera that is meant to capture 3D depth information. Up front, it has a 32 MP camera for clicking selfies. Surprising enough, the Huawei P30 Pro has ISO 409600, the highest ISO sensitivity range on a phone. Moreover, the phone has 50x digital zoom support that even lets you shoot pictures of the moon. The phone runs EMUI 9.0 based Android 9.0 Pie OS and will likely be available in two storage variants - 128 GB and 256 GB. Both variants of the phone have 8 GB RAM as standard and feature a 4,200 mAh battery unit. Realme 3 Pro Realme recently launched the Realme 3 smartphone at a price of Rs 8,999. The company also promised a more premium Realme 3 Pro smartphone, which will launch sometime in April. Realme has been extremely tight-lipped about the phone so far, but it is expected to go heads on with the Redmi Note 7 Pro, and feature a 48-megapixel rear camera. From what we know so far, the phone is also expected to feature a Qualcomm Snapdragon 675 SoC with up to 6 GB RAM and 128 GB storage. However, there is no word on the launch date yet.

Oppo Reno After Realme, Oppo is working on launching another sub-brand called Reno. We have come across a bunch of leaks about the sub-brand's new phones in the last few weeks. The latest is a leaked image of the purported Reno phone, which shows off a very interesting slider design to keep the notch out of the display. First spotted by/Leaks, the leaked image shows off a very unique pop-up front-facing camera, which The Vergeaptly describes as what looks like "the phone is raising a vaguely disapproving eyebrow at you".

Yes, the working of this pop-up camera seems hard to imagine. But this leaked video of the slider will give you a sense of it. Also, what makes this interestingly-shaped pop-up slider more interesting is that it includes a speaker and front-facing flash as well. Besides the sliding camera, the leaked image also shows off the rear of the device, which is not in line with another design leak we saw last week. The phone leaked today features a dual-rear camera system, with an accompanying, LED flash, however, the previous leak showed a triple-camera system with an Oppo logo at the back. The placement of the camera sensors also differs and so does the shape of the lens design. We gather, more than one model of Reno will be launching soon. Samsung Galaxy A90, A40 Samsung will be launching a new smartphone for the global markets on 10 April and many believe that it will be the Galaxy A90  smartphone. The title of the event is "A Galaxy Smartphone" which more or less confirms a Galaxy A-series device. As per the official invite, the event is said to be live streamed but Samsung has remained mum on the number of devices it plans to unveil. With the A50 out just recently we think that Samsung might b
