As seen in previous leaks, the Huawei Mate 40 Series features a new circular ring design on the back for the camera module. Huawei calls it the “Space Ring Design” as it echoes the spirit of exploring and unraveling the mysteries of the universe(?). Over on the front, the Mate 40 Pro and Mate 40 Pro+ feature a 6.67-inch flexible OLED display that curves around the edges at an 88° angle. The display offers a resolution of 2772×1344 pixels, a 90Hz refresh rate, and a pixel density of 456ppi. It has minimal bezels on the top and bottom edges, with a pill-shaped hole punch cutout for the front-facing camera module on both the higher-end variants. The regular Mate 40, however, features a smaller 6.5-inch FHD+ OLED display with a resolution of 2376 x 1080 pixels and a 90Hz refresh rate. Unlike the Pro variants, the edges of the display on the Mate 40 are curved at a 68° angle.
The Huawei Mate 40 Series is the first from the company to feature the Kirin 9000 SoC, which is an octa-core chip built on a 5nm process. The chip has 4x big ARM Cortex A-77 cores, with one core clocked at 3.13GHz and three clocked at 2.54GHz, and 4x small ARM Cortex A-55 cores clocked at 2.04GHz. It’s the world’s first 5nm chip to feature an integrated 5G modem, and it includes ARM’s Mali-G78MP24 GPU. The SoC is paired with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of UFS 3.1 storage on the Mate 40 Pro and 12GB of RAM on the Mate 40 Pro+, with a dedicated Huawei NM card expansion slot. The Porsche Design variant features 512GB of storage.
Huawei Mate 40 Pro
In the camera department, the Huawei Mate 40 features a 50MP f/1.9 primary camera, a 16MP f/2.2 wide-angle camera, and an 8MP f/2.4 telephoto camera. The Mate 40 Pro features the same primary camera, but it includes a 20MP f/1.8 wide-angle camera and a 12MP f/3.4 5x periscope camera. The top-end Mate 40 Pro+ also features the same primary camera, but it includes a 20MP f/2.4 wide-angle camera, an 8MP f/4.4 10x periscope camera with OIS, a 12MP f/2.4 telephoto camera, and a ToF sensor. The Porsche Design Mate 40 RS features the same camera setup as the Mate 40 Pro+, but it includes an additional color temperature sensor.
Huawei Mate 40 Pro Plus
The front-facing camera module on the Mate 40 Pro and Mate 40 Pro+ includes a 13MP f/2.4 wide-angle selfie shooter and a 3D ToF sensor. The selfie camera on the device offers a feature called intelligent FoV, which automatically detects if there are multiple people in the frame and adjusts the field of view to accommodate all people.
Rounding off the hardware on both Pro variants is a 4,400mAh dual-cell battery that offers support for 66W wired fast charging and 50W wireless fast charging. The devices also offer support for reverse wireless charging, which will let users charge other devices wirelessly by placing them on the back panel.
In terms of software, the Huawei Mate 40 Series runs Huawei’s custom Android skin EMUI 11 based on Android 10. As expected, the device includes Huawei Mobile Services with Huawei AppGallery, Petal Maps, and other Huawei services built-in.
Just like magic, #HUAWEIMate40 Series’ Smart Gesture Control allows you to answer calls, pause music, and scroll pages with just a wave – or a high five.
