A few days ago, Huawei launched its much-awaited next-generation Mate lineup flagship smartphones — the Huawei Mate 40 series which includes three models — Mate 40, Mate 40 Pro, and Mate 40 Pro+.
Now, the company is all set to launch these smartphones in its home country China on 30th October. Ahead of the launch, Richard Yu, CEO of Huawei’s Consumer Business unit has revealed that the Chinese variants will come with a special feature that will be unveiled along with the smartphones.
Shedding more light on the journey of these newly launched Huawei Mate 40 series smartphones, he says that it took around three years for the company to make these Mate 40 series phones, which offers an impressive set of features.
This information was revealed in a video shared by the company on its official Weibo account, which shows Richard Yu answering some of the frequently asked questions by the users. He also talked about how much pressure the company is feeling because of the worsening business relations in the world, especially with the United States.
Recently, the devices were up for pre-order in China through JD.com and the e-commerce platform has officially announced that the Huawei Mate 40 series was sold out on the platform in just 28 seconds. It’s noteworthy that only the Mate 40 and Mate 40 Pro were up for pre-order in China.
