First, a bit about Geekbench and its scores
Geekbench is a cross-platform processor benchmark platform which grades processors on their single-core and multi-core performances. While calculating multi-core scores, Geekbench runs multiple streams of instructions simultaneously per core and reports an aggregate score. With single-core scores, the same process is applied but on a single core. The quicker a CPU completes the instructions, the higher is its Geekbench score.

Design and display
How will Huawei P40 Pro look like?
Going by a previous leak, the Huawei P40 Pro will come with an edge-to-edge screen featuring a dual punch-hole design with curved edges on the sides as well as top and bottom.

Cameras
For the shutterbugs and selfie lovers
On the imaging front, the Huawei P40 Pro 5G is said to offer a penta-lens rear camera setup comprising a mighty 52MP primary lens, paired with a 40MP ultra-wide-angle camera, a periscope lens with 10x optical zoom, a telephoto sensor, and another ToF lens. Up front, the flagship handset will house a dual-lens selfie camera.
Internals
Under the hood
The Geekbench listing does not reveal the name of the processor that would power the P40 Pro, but reports suggest that the handset would pack a 5G-ready Kirin 990 octa-core chipset. Under the hood, it would run Android 10-based EMUI 10. However, just like other recently launched Huawei phones, it may also lack support for Google services.
