It seems that the Huawei Mate 40 series may have been spotted on SIRIM, hinting that the smartphone could most likely be unveiled somewhere around December 2020. While not much is known in regards to the exact release date, we can expect the smartphone to be priced much lower than 1199 Euros (~RM5880) on the European market.

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.

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.

Other than the Huawei Mate 40 series that was just unveiled, Huawei also announced the Huawei Porsche Design Watch GT2 which is priced at 695 Euro (~RM3406) which comes with largely the same features as the original GT2, except for a more luxurious design. Not only that, but there’s also the Huawei FreeBuds Studio at 299 Euros (~RM1465), which is a pair headphones which is capable of achieving up to 24 hours of continuous playback on a single full charge.

Today, Huawei has unveiled the latest Mate 40 series and unsurprisingly, the phones are none other than the Mate 40, Mate 40 Pro, and Mate 40 Pro+. There's also a Porsche Design Mate 40 Pro RS edition, which you can read about it here (link in development) as usual but without beating around the bush too much, here's everything you need to know about the new Huawei flagships.

Huawei Malaysia has announced that you can catch the launch of the Huawei Mate 40 series on their Facebook page, which will take place on 22 October 2020 from 8 PM onwards. With that said, be sure to head over to their Facebook page and click on the “get reminder” button in order to be notified as soon as they’re streaming the launch.

After Apple made a comeback by launching four devices at a time, another tech giant is heading the way to surprise us with their latest flagships as well on 22 October. In just a few days, HUAWEI will be finally launching the highly-anticipated Mate 40 series with the 5nm chipset at an event. Before that, a promo video of the series was out today by showing off the device's capability of taking distortion-free ultra-wide-angle photos.

Based on a statement by a user on weibo, it seems that the Huawei Mate 40 series could come equipped with an octagonal camera module at the rear. It is best to note that this is the first time we’ve seen this kind of camera module shape because all these while, smartphone manufacturers used either a circular, square, or a diamond-shaped camera module instead.

Based on a statement by a weibo user, it seems that Huawei could be planning to release a Huawei Mate 30 series smartphone called the Mate 30 Pro E during the Mate 40 launch that’s happening very soon. While not much is known in regards to the Malaysia release date of the device, our source did provide a few images which give us a better idea on what to expect during the launch.
