HUAWEI teases square camera housing for Mate 20, Mate 20 Pro
June 26, 2025
Huaweiis teasing its upcomingMate 20flagship phone series and it looks like it will include the rounded square camera housing seen in previously leaked images. HUAWEI released the short promo video on its officialWeibochannel (viaGSMArena), and it included an outline of the unique camera compartment.
The video is set in a desert landscape, featuring a pumping soundtrack and some quad bike action with the quote “This is the time to explore something new. This is Mate.”
The use of the square camera shell is significant as it implies the use of a triple-lens rear camera (a lens in each corner of the square, and a flash in the fourth). TheHUAWEI P20 Pro, the company’s earlier 2018 flagship, also had a triple rear camera, albeit in a different formation.
The HUAWEI Mate 20 and Mate 20 Pro are both expected to launch next month, but we don’t know which will come with the square camera housing (it could be both). We do already know, however, that theMate 20 Litedoes not include such a setup (find out more about that phone in the hands-on video at the previous link).
The new Mate 20s are set to hit the scene October 16. Learn more about them in our dedicatedMate 20 rumorsarticle at the link.
