Based on a statement by Huawei’s official Twitter, it seems that Huawei will be announcing the Huawei Mate 40 series smartphone on 22 October 2020. With that said, here’s a short rundown on what gadgets we can expect Huawei to launch during the event which is happening in less than 2 weeks.

Based on a statement by PCOnline, it seems that the launch of the Huawei Mate 40 series is just around the corner because reports stated that the first batch of the series will go on sale from late October 2020 onwards. While not much is known in regards to the exact pricing of the new series, we do know that the series consists of smartphones such as the Mate 40, Mate 40 Pro, Mate 40 Pro Plus, as well as the Mate 40 RS Porsche Special Edition.

Based on a statement by a weibo user, it seems that the Huawei Mate 40 will come equipped with a single hole-punch camera at the front while the Mate 40 Pro and Pro Plus variant will have a pill-shaped cutout instead. While there’s no official information on the availability date, our source did mention that the smartphones will come equipped with an IMX588 as well as the IMX516 image sensor, with the latter being a ToF sensor.

Based on a statement by @RODENT950 on Twitter, Huawei will most likely be unveiling their brand new HiSilicon Kirin 1000 chipset during the IFA 2020 on 5 September 2020. While not much official information in regards to the chipset has been revealed, our source did mention that it will most likely be present on the upcoming Huawei Mate 40 series smartphones.

As we have entered the second half of the year, some of the smartphone manufacturers are gearing up for the second wave of flagship war. Earlier, it has been announced that the highly-anticipated Samsung Galaxy Note 20 series will be launched at the Unpacked Event happening on 5 August. Other than Samsung, Huawei is well-prepared to fight the war with the upcoming Mate 40 series as well, and the tech specs sheet has been leaked today ahead of the launch event.

Based on a statement by androidheadlines.com it seems that future Huawei smartphone could come equipped with a rather large lens at the rear which could drastically improve the picture quality of the pictures taken. Even though the patent showed pictures of how the lens could potentially look like, there is still no official information on the exact tech spec of the camera system for now.

Based on a statement by a user on weibo, it seems that the upcoming Huawei Mate 40 series might not come equipped with an in-display selfie camera after all. With that said, there is no news on which smartphone will be the first to be the first commercially available smartphone to have the aforementioned camera.

HUAWEI has always been releasing new generations of HUAWEI’s Kirin processor and mate series between September to November. Despite the ban from the US, recent reports mentioned that the HUAWEI Mate 40 series will be arriving on time between this coming September to November.

Based on an image posted by @DSCCRoss in reply to @UniverseIce on Twitter, it seems that the Huawei Mate 40 will most likely come with a 120Hz display. While not much is known in regards to the tech specs of the device, we do know that it will most likely come equipped with a 5nm process chipset and a 9P Freeform lens technology.

We often caution you to take rumours with a grain of salt and there's a good reason for that. Take the Huawei Mate 40 series, for example. A few weeks ago, it was suggested that the device could come with a Kirin 1020 chipset. But the latest rumour claims that it'll be equipped with the Kirin 1000 chipset instead.
