In Juloy this year, it was reevealed that the Mate 40 series may feature a different chipset, likely one of MediaTek’s processors, in markets outside China. Later on, the specs sheet of the Honor V40 series was leaked showing that all models will be powered by the Dimensity 1000+ processor.
Right now, an official-looking teaser for the V40 series has appeared online suggesting that the model is in the works and that a launch may not be far off. The teaser poster was shared by Indian tipster Mukul Sharmal (@stufflistings) who posited that a launch may not be far off.
At this moment, absolutely nothing has been officially revealed about the Honor flagship but considering the shortage of the Kirin 9000 chipset, it is most likely that if Huawei’s Honor brand was to release the flagship series right after the Mate 40 series, the device will likely not use a Kirin chipset. This is as a result of shortages of the 5nm chip occasioned by the US ban placed on Huawei.

The Honor V series is expected to include the Honor V40, V40 Pro, and V40 Pro+. The series traditionally packs the latest version of the Kirin chipset and other top notch specs. The series also usually feature impressive cameras.
We await for official words on the launch by Honor.
