Huawei is expected to launch the Huawei Mate 40 series of flagship phones in September. Ahead of the rumored launch, three smartphones that reportedly belongs to the Mate 40 series has appeared on TENAA’s database. At the same time, display analyst Ross Young has shared some key information on the displays of the three phones.

It is believed that the OCE-AN00 model number belongs to the Huawei Mate 40 handset. The letters ‘OCE’ refers to its ‘Ocean’ codename. The NOH-AN00 Huawei phone could be the Mate 40 Pro smartphone. The ‘NOH’ letters in the model number are the short form of its “Noah’ codename.

The NOP-AN00 phone also seems to belong to the Mate 40 series. It is unclear whether the phone is Mate 40 Pro+ or Mate 40 RS Porsche Design. Hopefully, newer reports will reveal the identity of the NOP-AN00 phone. Unfortunately, the TENAA listings of these phones do not have any information on their specs, except for the fact that they support 5G connectivity and run on Android. These listings are expected to get updated with full specs soon.

In June, display analyst and CEO of Display Supply Chain Consultants (DSCC), Ross Young had claimed that the Mate 40 will come with a 120Hz refresh rate display. However, a tipster claimed at the end of the same month that the Mate 40 series will support a 90Hz refresh rate like the Huawei P40 series. Now, even Young has claimed that the Mate 40 series phones will have 90Hz refresh rate displays. He is of the view that Huawei will offer 120Hz refresh rate displays on its smartphones in the coming year.

Young further mentioned that the Huawei Mate 40 has a 6.5-inch display that supports 1080 x 2340 pixels Full HD+ resolution. The Mate 40 will have screens supplied by BOE display manufacturer. The Mate 40 Pro will have a larger 6.78-inch QHD+ display supplied by BOE, Samsung Display, and LG Display. He has speculated that Mate 40 series will have waterfall displays with curved edges.

The CAD renders released by OnLeaks in the recent past had revealed that both phones will have a dual punch-hole cutout. Young also claimed that he is not aware of a Pro Plus model. If it exists, it will have the screen that will be available on the Mate 40 Pro.
