Leaked information that surfaced earlier this month revealed that there will be different chipsets for the Honor V40 Pro and V40 Pro+. It was revealed that the V40 Pro may come with Dimensity 1000+, whereas the Pro Plus model could be equipped with Kirin 9000 chipset. However, a reliable tipster from China has claimed that the Honor V40 series does not feature the Kirin 9000 chipset

So, it can be assumed based on the new leak that the Honor V40 Pro Plus will not feature the Kirin 9000 chipset. Hence, it remains to be seen whether the V40 Pro Plus will be driven by Dimensity 1000+ or a more powerful chipset.

MediaTek is working on a new chipset that has model number MT6893. The 6nm SoC is said to offer performance like the Snapdragon 865 mobile platform. The Taiwan-based company is expected to announce it in the next few days. It is advisable to wait for further reports to known which processor will be fueling the V40 Pro Plus. Rumors have it that Honor, which is no longer a sub-brand of Huawei, will be launching the V40 series in December.

The Honor V40 duo is expected to come with 6.72-inch FHD+ curved displays that offer a 120Hz refresh rate. The V40 Pro and V40 Pro+ may borrow the Sony IMX700 RYYB from the Honor 30 Pro+ handset that went official earlier this year. It is unclear whether these phones have triple or quad cameras.

Both phones are expected to sport other common features like 66W fast charging, 40W wireless charging, stereo speakers, 5G, and glass build. There is no word on the pricing of the V40 duo. If the V40 Pro Plus also comes with Dimensity 1000+, it is likely to be priced around 2,500 Yuan (~$380).

The post Honor V40 series will not feature Kirin 9000, claims leak appeared first on Gizmochina.

Yesterday, we reported that the Huawei Mate 40 series may feature a different chipset, most probably one of MediaTek’s processors, in markets outside China. Today, a leaker has revealed what may be the spec sheet of the Honor V40 series and it shows the lineup will be powered by the Dimensity 1000+ processor.

Shared on Weibo by @Really Assen, the Honor V40 series will not feature Kirin chipsets but MediaTek’s Dimensity 1000+ processor. He also states that the Honor V40 Pro+ may be the first of the series that will be announced. Below are the alleged specifications and prices of the series:

As you can see, while all three phones have the same processor and should offer the same performance, there are still some significant differences. The Pro versions will have curved AMOLED displays with two holes for their dual selfie cameras.

All three phones will also have a high refresh rate but that of the Honor V40 Pro+ will be higher. The spec sheet also shows that all three phones will support wireless charging which is pretty nice.

As a reminder, these specifications are speculations, so we advise you to take them with a grain of salt.
