The Huawei P-Series is a smartphone series on the Huawei brand. It targets those who are more concerned about the design sense, new colors and photo-taking capabilities.[1]

Huawei's co-engineered partnership with Leica[2] led to the use of a dual lens camera on the P9, which was launched in 2016. The P10, which was launched in 2017, was the major phone to have a Leica front camera. In 2018, the P20 Pro (picture on right) was the first smartphone to have a triple-lens camera on the rear.
