There is no better month than September for smartphone-addicted people. In September a lot of important handsets go official every year, including the new iPhones by Apple. And while the launch date of the new Apple devices is still unconfirmed, a lot of other phones are already scheduled to launch this month. Here you will find a list of all the most important upcoming smartphones in September 2020 from mainstream smartphone manufacturers.
Top Upcoming Smartphones in September 2020
Huawei Mate 40 series
The Huawei Mate 40 series will be officially announced at the Huawei Developer Conference which will be held on September 10. During the conference, Huawei will also announce the EMUI 11 customization based on Android 11. The Huawei Mate 40 will be the last series of smartphones equipped with a Kirin chipset: Huawei can not produce its chipsets anymore due to the U.S. ban. The SoC powering the new lineup will be the Kirin 9000 which may be available in limited quantities because the partnership between Huawei and TSMC (the company producing Kirin chipsets) will end on September 15. The Huawei Mate 40 series is expected to include phones with 90 Hz display, resolutions up to Quad HD+, and display diagonals up to 6.78 inches.
