HUAWEI today announced its flagship Mate 40, Mate 40 Pro and Mate 40 Pro+ smartphones in an online event as it had promised. The Mate 40 has a 6.5-inch FHD+ OLED 90Hz screen and the Mate 40 Pro and Mate 40 Pro+ feature a 6.76-inch FHD+ OLED 88° Horizon Display with 90Hz refresh rate and 240Hz touch sampling rate. These are powered by Kirin 9000 5G 5nm SoCs with dedicated NPUs and run Android 10 with EMUI 11.0 on top with HMS.
These have 50MP Ultra Vision Camera with 1/1.28-inch sensor that has a 16-in-1 pixel fusion technology for binned pixel size measuring 2.44μm to massively boost light intake for enhanced low-light performance, f/1.9 aperture. In addition to the main camera, the Mate 40 has 16MP Cine Camera and a 8MP telephoto camera for 3x zoom. The Mate 40 Pro and Pro+ come with a 20MP Cine Camera and a 12MP telephoto camera lens with 3x optical zoom and the Mate 40 Pro+ also has an additional 8MP Periscope Camera with 10x Optical Zoom and a 3D depth sensing ToF camera.
HUAWEI Mate 40 Pro and HUAWEI Mate 40 Pro+ feature new user-centric features including Smart Gesture Control, which allows total hands-free control of your device. Simply hover your hand over the device to wake it up or navigate your phone by swiping left, right, up and down. There is also an air press gesture for call answering.
There’s also a Porsche Design Mate 40 RS with the same specifications as the Mate 40 Pro+, but this has an infra-red temperature sensor, custom case and Porsche Design-branded themes.
