Last week, the HUAWEI Mate40 series made its global debut. These smartphones launched in China today. But ahead of it, Master Lu, a popular Chinese benchmarking platform had revealed the scores of HUAWEI Mate40 Pro+ on Weibo in the morning.

The scores of HUAWEI Mate40 Pro+ with HiSilcion Kirin 9000 are better than Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 865. But since the handset is yet to go on sale, the scores may come down as Master Lu Benchmark uses average score rather than the highest score. 

But still, it will beat the older Snapdragon 865. The bigger question is how well it will stand against the upcoming Snapdragon 875, which is also reported to be based on 5nm manufacturing process.

That said, here’s a table comparing the current scores of HUAWEI Mate40 Pro+ and Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra.

Anyway, benchmark scores don’t translate real-world performances. Hence, we do not recommend anyone buying a smartphone purely based on the points scored by it on multiple benchmarking platforms.
