Extensive Huawei Mate 40 Pro leak leaves little to the imagination
- The Huawei Mate 40 Pro has been detailed in a detailed new report.
- A P40 Pro-like display connects to a redesigned rear camera array.
- The Huawei Mate 40 RS also broke the cover with an octagonal camera array.
Just a few days before the official launch, the surprise of the Huawei Mate 40 Pro was spoiled by a comprehensive report from WinFuture.
According to the results of the release, the Mate 40 Pro will not look like its predecessor. It weighs 212 grams, is almost 163 mm long and 9.1 mm thick.
A 13-megapixel selfie camera with a 3D sensor next to it should be housed in a Huawei P40 Pro-like pill cutout. The latter will supposedly enable gesture support, but it should also allow the phone to unlock smarts.
The 6.76-inch display may still have tapered edges, but the waterfall screen now has physical buttons on the right. The screen resolution is 2,772 x 1,344 and includes a built-in fingerprint sensor.
The greatest design optimization is on the back. The alleged camera array ring resembles an iPod click wheel and contains a 50 megapixel primary camera with a f / 1.9 aperture and OIS support. A 20MP wide-angle and a 12MP zoom sensor are also provided. A laser autofocus, a color temperature sensor and an LED flash are also available.
Huawei Mate 40 Pro: Kirin 9000 at the top
Finally, let’s talk about the internals. According to the report, the Mate 40 Pro is powered by the octa-core Kirin 9000. The last high-end Kirin chipset from Huawei is also distinguished by its design. The chip has four Arm Cortex-A55 cores with 2.54 GHz and three Cortex-A77 cores with 2.54 GHz. Finally, a single Cortex-A77 core is clocked at 3.13 GHz.
According to reports, users in China will be offered variants with up to 12 GB of RAM, while other international markets will have to settle for 8 GB models. As for storage, 256GB of UFS 3.1 offers capabilities, but users will need Huawei’s NM memory card to expand them.

All of this is apparently powered by a 4,400mAh battery with 65W charging support. NFC, Bluetooth 5.2 support and Wi-Fi 6 support round off the range of wireless technologies.
The Mate 40 Pro is neither launched with Google services nor presented with Android 11. Instead, Android 10-based EMUI 11 together with Huawei Mobile Services makes the cut.
While WinFuture Report sheds no light on prices, Twitter tipster @ Rodent950 does. The Mate 40 Pro will cost 1,100 euros, which would be the same as the price of the 128 GB Mate 30 Pro at launch. Europe can also be limited to black and silver colors.
Huawei Mate 40 RS
The tipster apparently too uncovered Also the rear design of the Huawei Mate 40 RS. According to official information, the phone has an octagonal rear camera with five shooters.
The 50-megapixel sensor will again be equipped with a 20-megapixel ultra-wide camera with a 3 MP range and an 8-megapixel zoom camera with a 10-fold range. A ToF sensor completes the setup. When it comes to Europe, the price for the Mate 40 RS could be around €2,500, adds the tipster.
Huawei will launch its new flagships on October 22nd, so you don’t have to wait long for specs, pricing and availability confirmations.
