Blue Mate 20 Pro caught live on the subway, a fingerprint magnet

The upcoming Huawei Mate 20 Pro has been a victim of a spy shot on some subway car, in its beautiful blue model version at that. The back of the phone clearly shows the unorthodox tri-camera setup placed in a square surface which, thankfully, doesn't seem to raise a camera bump... or three.

The front is also visible, with a display that is curved to the sides, just as the rumors about the 6.4" OLED QuadHD+ display had it. Add to those Android's first 7nm chipset, a huge 4200 mAh battery with the crazy fast wired charger that pumps the phone full of electrons at the rate of 70% for 30 minutes, as well as the nutty 15W wireless charging, and the leaks are shaping one pretty uncompromising handset for the end of year by Huawei.

The only ho-hum part about this appearance of the Mate 20 Pro in the flesh is that the shiny glass surface seems to be a fingerprint magnet with all these greasy smudges all over it. Hopefully, that's a pre-production sample with no oleophobic coating applied yet, or a case would be mandatory on this bad boy.
