Pictures of what is said to be the tempered glass for the Mate 40 Pro have now appeared on Weibo (via) giving us an idea of what the display will look like. The leaked shots show the Mate 40 Pro will utilise a curved waterfall screen but the curvature seems to be lower than that of the Mate 30 Pro.

Earlier this week, it was rumoured that the Mate 40 Pro’s screen will utilise a double hole-punch design located at the upper left corner. This will increase the display area and further enhance the immersive viewing experience for users.
