A couple of days ago, TD Tech M40 smartphone was announced and made available for pre-orders in the Chinese market. Today, the device officially went on sale in China in two different memory versions.

The base model with 8GB RAM and 128GB of internal storage is priced at 3,999 yuan (~$588), while the 8GB RAM and 256GB internal storage model costs 4,499 yuan (~$661). It comes in three color options — Ceramic White, Secret Silver, and Shiny Black.

In terms of design, the TD Tech M40 smartphone looks identical to the Huawei Mate 40, but unlike the Huawei-branded device, this one comes with support for 5G connectivity. This appears to be the workaround for the Chinese brand to have its smartphones with support for 5G available in the market.

The smartphone features a 6.5-inch Full HD+ 60Hz AMOLED display with support for HDR 10+ content and a 240Hz touch sampling rate. The device is also rated for IP53 dust and water resistance to keep your phone safe from the light drizzle in the rain.

Under the hood, it is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 1000 Plus SoC, which is a major upgrade compared to the outdated Huawei HiSilicon Kirin 9000, which the Chinese company is basically forced to use on its devices because of US sanctions.

In the camera department, there’s a triple-camera setup on the back panel that includes a 64MP primary sensor, a 16-megapixel ultra-wide lens, and an 8-megapixel telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom. On the front side, there’s a 13-megapixel wide-angle snapper for taking selfies and video calling.

As for the software, the phone runs the HarmonyOS 2.0 based on the Android 10 operating system. It is powered by a 4,200mAh battery and comes with 40W fast charging through the USB Type-C port and 40W wireless charging.
