Just last week, the Huawei P40 series was launched and it features some of the interesting tech specs like the Penta-camera setup and 100x zoom on the Pro Plus variant. One week after the launch, rumours of the Huawei Mate 40 have started to surface online. According to a well-known tipster, the series is going to bring us a new HiSilicon Kirin 1020 chipset and a new technology called FreeForm lens for photography.
Ming-Chi Kuo, an international analyst, is the one who brought the exciting news. It is said that the Huawei Mate 40 will debut together with the company’s latest chipset technology. The Kirin 1020 has been codenamed as Baltimore and will be manufactured in size of 5nm. It is also expected that the 5nm process will bring 15 percent higher performance while reducing the power consumption by 30 percent. Other than that, it is said that the chipset is based on the Cortex A77 or the A78 architecture.
As for the FreeForm lens, it is developed to reduce distortions when it comes to taking wide-angle pictures. Normally, distortions such as fisheye effect or slight blurring on the edge can be seen on captured wide-angle images. These “FreeForm lenses are optimized across a cellphone’s rectangular image field rather than the conventional circular image field”, so a much better result can be seen while taking wide-angle pictures in the future.
