Huawei has officially announced the launch date and place for its P30 flagship phone: March 26, Paris.

The event was announced on Twitter with the tagline, "Rules were made to be rewritten."

The short video accompanying the announcement indicates the P30 will have enhanced zoom capabilities, which is unsurprising given that the P20 was the first phone with three rear cameras and one of the best cameraphones around.

Previous rumors said that Huawei's new flagship will come in two flavors: P30 and P30 Pro, both with a "waterdrop" notch for the selfie camera and Huawei's Kirin 980 chip. The phones will have three/four rear cameras, respectively.

It's worth noting that Huawei has an event scheduled on Feb. 24 in Barcelona, where it is likely to show its 5G, foldable phone. And while the company will probably launch more than one device in Barcelona, we now know that the P30 won't be one of them.
