Huawei is expected to announce the flagship P40 series on March 26. Ahead of the launch the company has already adjusted the price tag of the presently Mate 30 series that was released in the second half of 2019 by 500 yuan.
Consequently, the Mate 30 5G (8GB+128GB) is now on offer on Huawei’s flagship store on Jingdong for 4499 yuan ($646) and 4999 yuan (~$718) for the 8GB+256GB version. This is down from the launch prices of 4999 yuan (~$718) price and 5499 yuan (~$789) respectively. This is coming just a couple of weeks after the Mate 30 Pro (8GB+128GB) equally got a price slash.
The Mate 30 5G is one of Huawei’s first 5G flagships that went on sale, alongside the Mate 30 Pro 5Git is the second generation 5G mobile phone. The model is the second -generation 5G model from Huawei after the Mate X 5G was released last year with a 5G modem onboard. This second-generation model packs a Kirin 990 SoC as well as integrates a Balong 5000 5G modem. The 5G chipset onboard the Mate 30 supports dual-mode SA and NSA bands. The new SoC also offers better power management.
It is common practice for OEMs to slightly adjust the prices of their current models when a new smartphone is about launching in the same price category. We, thus, expect the P40 series to adopt a price tag similar to what the Mate 30 was launched with.
