The insider used emoji graphic symbols to describe the screen characteristics of the expected devices. They can be interpreted in the spirit that the base Mate 40 will have a screen with curved edges and a notch for one front camera lens in the upper left corner. But the more advanced Mate 40 Pro, it seems, will be equipped with a display-waterfall, which strongly extends to the side edges of the device. In its upper left corner, there will be an oblong cutout, which will house two lenses for taking selfies.

In addition, according to new data, the Huawei Mate 40 family will use a tactic developed by Samsung, when smartphones for different markets are equipped with different chipsets. HiSilicon Kirin chips are expected to be used only in devices intended for the domestic market. This is probably how the company responds to the shortage of in-house developed processors caused by US sanctions, as a result of which TSMC lost the ability to produce chips for Huawei.

The Huawei Mate 40 series smartphones are expected to be unveiled to the general public in October. The older model, the Mate 40 Pro, will receive a 32-megapixel autofocus front camera, complemented by a TOF sensor, which will allow you to take really high-quality selfies. The basic version of the smartphone will be content with a much more modest 24MP sensor with a fixed focus. The main cameras of the devices will also differ from each other. The younger model will receive three sensors, while the Pro version will boast four lenses. It is expected that the Mate 40 will be equipped with 6 or 8 GB of RAM, and the storage capacity will be 128 or 256 GB. The Mate 40 Pro will receive 8 or 12 GB of RAM, while the storage capacity can be selected from three options: 128, 256, or 512 GB.

The base version of the device is expected to start at around $ 650, while the Mate 40 Pro starts at $ 900.
