Hardware Specs

The Mate 40 Pro is regarded as probably the last flagship phone of its kind and it runs on Huawei’s top of the line 5nm Kirin 9000 processor with 5G support. It has a 6.76″ OLED screen that pushes a 2772×1344 pixels resolution and a high 90Hz refresh rate.

The rear gets a huge round camera bump that houses a triple-camera setup. This includes a 50MP main camera, a 20MP ultra-wide-angle shooter and a 12MP periscope telephoto camera that can push up to 50x digital zoom. The display has a wide punch-hole on the top left corner which houses a 13MP main selfie and a 3D ToF sensor.

Unlike its previous models, the Mate 40 Pro now features a pair of stereo speakers and it also retains IP68 dust and water resistance. Powering the device is a respectable 4,400mah battery that supports 66W fast wired charging and 50W fast wireless charging.

Do note that the device doesn’t come with Google apps and services pre-installed, and you’ll have to use Huawei AppGallery to discover and download new apps. In case you missed it, Huawei Pay has finally arrived in Malaysia and it currently supports UnionPay credit cards issued by ICBC.
