Chinese smartphone maker Huawei is reportedly ‘getting inspired’ by Apple. According to a report by XDA-developers, the upcoming flagship from Huawei, expected to be called the P11, will have «nearly bezel-less design with an
iPhone X
or Essential Phone style notch.»
The report claims to get this information through reliable sources of firmware files, which they obtained from a service which lets you install pre-release Huawei firmwares, FunkyHuawei.club. This service also lets users recover bricked devices, and rebrand/convert phones to different variants/regions. The image shared in the configuration files reveals a «RoundCornerDisplay.» Various other configuration files also accommodate the notch on the display.
Also, there is a more specific configuration file that refers to one of the system build properties as a «notch.»
Another detail revealed by the report is that the Huawei P11 smartphone has a 6.01-inch display with 2160 x 1080 pixels resolution, however, as per the boot animation the device has a 2244 x 1080 resolution. This divergence in resolution definitely implies a change in design, specifically the notch.
Whether the company will call it P11 or not, Huawei is expected to showcase a flagship on the Mobile World Congress 2018.
