Leaks are already coming out for Huawei’s next flagship smartphone, the P30 Pro, but one of the biggest new features has already been confirmed by Clement Wong, Huawei’s VP of global product marketing: the P30 Pro will feature a new, periscope-style “superzoom” camera that other leaks have promised will enable up to 10x zoom, via Android Central.

Wong was coy about the technology the camera uses. Outside of confirming that it is a periscope system, he refused to confirm the rumored 10x figure. Wong did say that the camera would do “something nobody [has done] before,” which could be hinting at some sort of mechanical zooming lens, something that would certainly be interesting to see on a smartphone.
