The Huawei Mate 40 series was just recently announced and is set for a launch date of 30th October 2020 in China. Just prior to the launch, the company has already opened reservations for a few models within the flagship lineup, with the Mate 40 RS Porsche Design already receiving over 210,000 reservations.
As of today (28th October 2020), the number of reservations for the Huawei Mate 40 RS Porsche Design has crossed the 210,000 marks on JD.com, a popular e-retailer in China. The device in question is the ultra high end flagship from the Chinese tech giant and, as the name suggests, carries the signature branding of the luxury supercar maker, Porsche.

The Mate 40 RS Porsche Design features a unique aesthetic that resembles the aerodynamic design of the popular sports car brand. Its rear panel is built from nano-microcrystalline ceramic body that is made to offer a better grip thanks to its texture. Apart from the external design, the device is similar to the flagship Mate 40 and features the 5nm Kirin 9000 processor and a penta camera setup on the rear as well.
The handset was launched for 2,295 EUR (roughly 18,150 Yuan or 2,700 US Dollars). In other words, it is quite expensive, which makes it even more impressive than it has already managed to garner the large number of reservations. Notably, the pre orders for the Mate 40 series was also previously listed on JD.com and were sold out in just 28 seconds flat.
