After months of reports and leaks, it seems that we now have an idea of when Huawei‘s upcoming flagship smartphone will get launched. As per the latest information coming from China, the Mate 40 series could go official in October this year.
Even though the flagship smartphone lineup will be launched in mid-October, it is believed that the phones will be available for purchase in the month of November. This upcoming series is expected to four models — Mate 40, Mate 40 Pro, Mate 40 Pro+, and Mate 40 RS Porsche Edition.
It has been confirmed by the company that the Mate 40 series will come powered by the HiSilicon Kirin 9000 SoC, which could be the brand’s last flagship chipset because of the new sanctions imposed by the United States.
As per reports, the Mate 40 could be powered by the Kirin 9000E SoC based on the 7nm process while the other models in the lineup will pack Huawei Kirin 9000 SoC, which is likely made using 5nm chipset.

The devices are expected to come with EMUI 11 based on the Android 10 operating system with support for some advanced features. If the recent reports are to be believed, then Huawei has around 8.8 million units of Kirin 9000 SoC, thus, it seems that the company won’t be able to make more units of the Mate 40 series.
Ahead of the official launch of the upcoming flagship lineup, it has already been confirmed that the series will be launched in the United Kingdom. However, the company has not yet revealed information about the launch date.
