The German site WinFuture shared this photo reportedly of the Huawei P30 Pro in orange.

Huawei made a splash in February with its foldable Mate X phone. It was instantly -- and favorably -- compared to the Galaxy Fold from Samsung. But it's another Huawei phone that could be the real head-turner. A leaked photo published on the German site WinFuture on March 13 purportedly shows the upcoming Huawei P30 Pro in an eye-popping shade of orange.

While the color could be considered red or orange, apparently it's called Sunshine. Huawei is known for using vibrant finishes on its phones . But the color isn't the only interesting thing we see in the photo: On the back of the phone is a camera array stacked with three cameras in the corner. There's a separate fourth camera just below the flash.

The P30 Pro is rumored to have a 7.8x optical zoom, which would be a first on a phone. Of course, we'll know for certain about the cameras and the color at Huawei's event in Paris on March 26.

Huawei didn't immediately respond to a request for comment on the leak.
