This is known so far

Huawei is expected to introduce four models this year, consisting of the Huawei Mate 40, Mate 40 Pro, Mate 40 Pro+ and a Porsche Edition. The design is expected to be different from the previous models. Predecessors do not do much: This year, too, all devices should be characterized by a rather eye-catching, round camera design on the back and a waterfall display. This is said to be the case with the Mate 40 series compared to the P40 series get a little bigger. Rumor has it about 6,7 inches here. In addition, the display should again support a fluid refresh rate of 90 Hertz.

One of the biggest criticisms of the P40 series was definitely the mono speaker. Huawei is said to have taken this criticism to heart and finally to install stereo speakers in the upcoming Mate series.

The battery and cameras are also set to receive a slight upgrade, with Huawei installing a new ultra-wide-angle camera in the Pro and Pro+. The battery is set to be between 4.500 and 5.000 mAh. That would be a bit more than the P40 Pro +The issue surrounding the processor is also interesting, because the US embargo means Huawei is no longer allowed to work with chip manufacturer TSMC. Nevertheless, the new 5 nm Kirin 9000 is said to be working under the hood. Google services will of course not be available on the upcoming Mate smartphones either.
