While we are still waiting for news about if Huawei Malaysia plans to import the Mate 40 series, we just read some news that a metal casing is apparently not good for the phone at all. This was answered by Bruce Lee, Vice President of Huawei in regards to third-party cases since the official protective cases have sold out.

If you've ever wondered what companies pack into their devices, there's always those teardown videos you can refer to. One of the latest teardown video for the Huawei Mate 40 RS revealed some interesting things. In the video, you get to see a storage chip that's different from the standard UFS used in most phones.

Although the Huawei Mate 40 series has already been revealed for quite some time, there are still no words on when it would launch globally. While we wait for the company's consideration, their latest Kirin 9000 chipset which they claimed to be the most powerful one to date just got a new AnTuTu score, scoring 685,339 points at first rank.

Based on a statement by techsina, there could be a possibility that there will be a Pokemon-themed Huawei Mate 40 series which features a PokeBall decal at the back along with the Pokemon logo. While there is information in regards to whether the case in the renders will be sold to be public or not, this gives us a rough idea on what to expect when the case is officially available for purchase.

After the Huawei Mate 40 series got unveiled last week, there was no denying that the features are technically impressive. However, the global market is still concerned about its software as it lacks Google Mobile Service (GMS) and APK installation doesn't cut it for casual users. Thankfully, folks at XDA-developers came up with an unofficial GMS installer.
