Huawei Mate 40 series sold out in 11 seconds

On October 22, Huawei unveiled the Mate 40 series of flagships, and sales began in China yesterday. Although there are four models in this series, the Huawei Mate 40 RS Porsche Design is not yet on the market: only the Mate 40, Mate 40 Pro, and Mate 40 Pro + are on sale. But it is extremely difficult to buy them. In the JD online store, the Huawei Mate 40 series was completely sold out 11 seconds after the start of sales. At the same time, JD is one of the largest platforms selling Huawei devices.

The available information from JD shows that the Huawei Mate 40 series is currently the most popular smartphone on this platform. The data shows that within one hour the number of users looking for the Mate 40 series is 600% higher than for the Mate 30 series. The JD store offers many benefits for buyers of the new flagship:

free return within a month;
free battery replacement within a year at the request of the owner;
Exchange your old device for the Mate 40 series – the maximum discount reaches 3000 Yuan ($ 448) and depends on the quality and current condition of the old device.

Huawei Mate 40 RS Porsche Design buyers will receive more exclusive deals. After eight years and ten generations of innovation, the Huawei Mate 40 series has become “the most powerful Mate phone in history.” It has improved design, performance, camera, and user interface. All smartphones in this series are equipped with a Kirin 9000 series chip. The Mate 40 Pro, Mate 40 Pro + and Mate 40 RS Porsche Design use the Kirin 9000 processor, while the Mate 40 uses the Kirin 9000E.

Kirin 9000 5G uses a 5-nanometer process technology, includes 15.3 billion transistors, uses an eight-core processor, 24-core Mali-G78 GPU, 3-core NPU. Although the Huawei Mate 40 uses the Kirin 9000E SoC, the difference between this chip and the Kirin 9000 is minimal – it includes a 22-core GPU and a simplified microprocessor. Unfortunately, the Mate 40 is in danger of becoming the company’s swan song in the flagship smartphone market due to the US sanctions that TSMC has joined. It is unlikely that even everyone who wants to buy the Mate 40 will be able to do this at the recommended price: the number of Kirin 9000 chips released is limited, and new ones are not yet printed.
