Yesterday, CEO of Huawei’s Consumer Business Group, Richard Yu said the company will launch Huawei Mate 40 series very soon. Meanwhile, there’s some more information on this upcoming flagship that appeared in a new report.

According to Winfuture.de, Huawei will launch the world’s first and 5G modem embedded SoC made with a 5nm (nanometer) process for the Huawei Mate 40 series. The previous report suggests that this processor will be called “Kirin 9000” but Huawei has not yet released any information.

Also, Huawei Mate 40 Pro will equip with an ‘extremely’ powerful camera configuration. In addition, Huawei will also increase the charging power of this phone, which is likely to be 66W.

DXOMARK has revealed the camera evaluation of Huawei Mate 40 Pro, showing that this new flagship has left all phones behind in the competition in both rear and selfie cameras.

According to the listing, Huawei Mate 40 Pro received an overall score of 136 points, the highest among the smartphones tested on DXOMARK. This the current highest camera scoring ever recorded on DXOMARK.

For Selfie, the phone has scored 104 points the highest for the front cameras, it’s higher than the previous 103 points obtained by Huawei P40 Pro.
 
Once again Huawei knocking the hardware out the park, that camera system is absolutely beastly especially in the Mate 40 Pro+, much like the P40 Pro+.

I also always prefer the how Mate series have the more boxy/squared off design, with wider screens, really great job.

And I always long for an RS model, lol.
 
Weekly poll results: the Huawei Mate 40 Pro can do well, but it might take a sweet pre-order bundle

Last week’s poll shows that Huawei’s new phones can stand on their own feet, even without the Google software ecosystem. However, there are several factors that will impact how the new models will perform in the market place.

We gave the Huawei Mate 40 Pro its own poll as this one will first get a global release – units will be available in Europe next month. About 20% of voters are ready to grab one as soon as local stores open sales.

Slightly more people are interested, but think that the €1,200 price tag is too steep. There’s still time before pre-orders kick in, so maybe Huawei will be able to change their minds with a good pre-order bundle. And if not, prices of Huawei phone fall with time, unlike some other brands.

The group of potential buyers is even bigger if modders find an easy enough way to side-load apps that are not available in Huawei’s AppGallery (and we should note that the company is busy bringing over or replacing all the key apps).

Things will get interesting if the Huawei Mate 40 Pro+ gets released globally as it edged out the Pro in the second poll. One of the major reasons to buy a Huawei is the excellent Leica camera, so it makes sense to go for the top model – even if it costs €200 more.

there is more than 7 Billion people on the planet. 7000 people isn't a sufficient sample size to say something will be successful or not. Besides that, a poll on a website isn't a measurement metric. I would not trust any of their data.

Especially if 1500 of those 7000 people live in China.
 
"Now, one might be wondering why the Mate 40 sold out so quickly. There is actually a lot of added perks that come with the purchase, including one-hour delivery and 1-year free battery replacement."

100 million units sold with 1 hour delivery you say?
