HUAWEI has been quiet for a while in the smartphone industry. Now, the company is seemingly making a return by launching the sixth entry for the Mate 40 series, the Mate 40E Pro. However, it might have run into some issues as the device is said to feature a dated Kirin chip.

Last December, the Huawei Mate40 Pro 5G variant was released with a price tag of RM4299. Here, we found out that the company silently launched the 4G variant with the same configuration as the 5G variant.

It was only a few days ago when Huawei Malaysia announced that their very first MateStation S PC is coming to Malaysia. The company silently updated the price tag on their official website which starts from an affordable RM2488 only in Space Gray. The sale will start from this Friday onwards (19 March 2021).

It looks like the HUAWEI Mate 40E is making its way into the market soon after a reservation listing was spotted on Tmall (a reputable Chinese online marketplace). From there, we could see that the Mate 40E has a model number OCE-AN00 and the device was registered on 9 December 2020. However, the listing has now been taken down by the company.

Some rumours may not be very reliable, but official certifications guarantee that the device is real. For example, a Huawei 5G tablet was recently certified by China's 3C, so there's a chance it's coming soon. In fact, this could be the MatePad Pro 2.

The HUAWEI Mate 40 series had arrived last year with the standard Mate 40, Mate 40 Pro, Mate 40 Pro+, and a Porsche Edition Mate 40 Pro RS. After that, the Mate 40E is said to be in the works as it was spotted on Wireless Charging Alliance. As the whole Mate 40 lineup uses the Kirin 9000 chipset, the upcoming Mate 40E is also expected to come with the same chipset. However, it is reported that other devices like the P50 series, Mate X2, and MatePad Pro 2 will also use the Kirin 9000.

HUAWEI launched the HUAWEI Mate 40 series in October this year and the Mate 40 Pro 5G just arrived in Malaysia a few weeks ago. During the press conference, the company did launch another model other than the Mate 40 series which is the Mate 30E Pro 5G. Today, we got the information that the Mate 40 series will have an additional model which will be named the HUAWEI Mate 40E.
