Huawei Mate 40 Pro offers 50W wireless charging, new flagship Kirin 9000 chipset

Huawei follows up the P40 series with the new Mate 40 line, which debut new features like 50-watt wireless charging and the new flagship 5nm Kirin 9000 processor. The Mate 40 Pro and Pro Plus come with a curved 6.76-inch 90Hz OLED screen with a 2,772 x 1,344 resolution and an in-display fingerprint sensor. To protect the phones, these come with IP68 dust- and water-resistance.

As with Huawei's flagship phones of the past, the camera is a big focus. The Mate 40 series looks to lead the charge in terms of camera tech and specs in a new circular design reminiscent of the Apple iPods' click wheel.

Huawei will launch Mate 40 series on Oct. 22

Huawei's Mate flagship is getting an update with a scheduled launch for the Mate 40 series on October 22. It's the latest Huawei device to launch without access to the Google Play Store and Google Mobile Services. It also might be the last Huawei handset to be powered by a Kirin processor. US trade restrictions and bans have severely affected the Android experience on these handsets. But Huawei has been steadily developing its AppGallery to make up for that. It might not be enough for some users who are expecting the full access to Android and Google apps.

The company hasn't revealed much beyond the tagline "Leap Further Ahead." So, we're going to have to wait and see what Huawei is cooking up to try and convince smartphone buyers to consider their new flagship.
