TD Tech is one of Huawei’s hardware licensees. The company has so far released a single smartphone called TD Tech N8 Pro, which is essentially a rebranded HUAWEI nova 8 Pro 5G. The firm is being long rumored to release its own version of HUAWEI Mate40E. An interesting detail about this device has now emerged on the internet.

According to Weibo user 旺仔百事通 (via ITHome), the upcoming Huawei Mate 40 phone from TD Tech will be powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 1000+ chipset. Interestingly, he does not use the word Huawei Mate 40E.

Previous reports have revealed that this particular phone will have model number TDT-MA01. Further, the handset will have support for 40W fast wired charging, however, it will not ship with a charger. A TikTok video had even exposed the device’s rear design with ‘TD Tech’ branding at the bottom.

Unfortunately, the release date of this smartphone is still a mystery. Even if it gets launched, we are not sure how many units will be up for grab as the TD Tech N8 Pro sold out very quickly.

Having said that, we expect to learn more about this forthcoming handset in the coming days. We are also looking forward to other Huawei products from TD Tech.

Huawei may launch Mate 40E Pro with Kirin 990 5G as Kirin 9000 SoC stock runs dry

Huawei is apparently gearing up to launch another new device within its flagship Mate 40 lineup from last year. A new report has suggested that the new Mate 40 series model will feature 5G networking and could be the sixth entry in the family.

The Chinese tech giant had recently obtained a network access license from the Chinese Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. This license was for a new smartphone with a model number of “NOH-AN50,” which hints that it belongs to the Mate 40 flagship family. It was initially assumed to be a new Mate 40 Pro model that could’ve been branded as a Collector’s Edition and feature the Kirin 9000 5G chipset. But now, tipster @魔法科技君 believes that the upcoming handset in question is the Mate 40E Pro that will be powered by a Kirin 990 5G SoC.

For those unaware, the company had previously launched the Mate 40E in a 4G and 5G variant. Now, it is apparently gearing up to launch a new Pro variant as well that supports 5G networking. While the Mate 40E had featured a Kirin 990E processor, the Pro variant will supposedly sport the Kirin 990 5G. However, it seems odd that the brand plans to release a new smartphone that features a dated flagship processor that was announced back in 2019.

In other words, Huawei might have reserves of its Kirin 9000 series running low or they could possibly even be completely dry. This means that any future smartphones from the brand might likely be unable to feature its latest and greatest chipset. Previous estimates had indicated that the company had managed to acquire just 10 million units of Kirin 9000 chips before US sanctions cut off the company from its primary chip supplier TSMC. Although, this is still just an unconfirmed report, so take it with a pinch of salt for now.

Recently, TD Tech, a Chinese telecom equipment manufacturer, launched a smartphone called TD Tech N8 Pro. This handset is nothing but a rebadged HUAWEI nova 8 Pro 5G. The company itself has confirmed that it procures components from Huawei. As per new reports, the firm’s next phone will be a rebranded HUAWEI Mate40E 5G.

Huawei has started licensing its hardware designs to other companies and TD Tech is one of those partners. The second self-branded smartphone from this firm is expected to be Huawei Mate 40E 5G.

The official name of the handset is a mystery, however, we know that it will bear model TDT-MA01. According to 3C certification, the device will support 40W fast charging but the required charger will not be included in the box.

The phone has been also certified by TENAA, which clearly shows that it is a rebadged Huawei Mate 40E 5G. That’s not all, the device has also leaked in a TikTok video.

A screengrab of this video displays the smartphone in white color with TD Tech branding and no Leica text. Instead, the camera ring says ‘Ultra Vision Camera’.

Unfortunately, the launch date of this phone is anyone’s guess at the moment. In fact, TD Tech N8 Pro itself is currently out of stock and it is said to hit the shelves again at the end of December.

What are your thoughts on these Huawei smartphones without ‘HUAWEI’ branding? Do let us know in the comment section below.

Huawei rumored to re-launch 5G Smartphones in the near future

Ashutosh — Fri, 17 Sep 2021 05:04:58 +0000

From customer base to chipset stock, Huawei is on a spree of losing all of them. The controversy is giving Huawei a tough time, as it has almost run out of its 5G chipsets after the U.S. imposed sanctions on Kirin chipsets from TSMC. This has not only halted Huawei’s progress in the 5G smartphone domain, but may also make future expansion hard for the tech giant. Huawei is on a hunt to bring onboard new players and if rumors are anything to go by, Huawei would re-launch smartphones with 5G this time.

After Huawei got banned for further conducting business with American companies, it started to explore alternative sources to keep the business alive. However, some Huawei Mate 40E units are still reportedly using American communication chips, possibly the ones acquired before the ban.

The Mate 40E was released in China in March and is now out of the stock for the majority of the time. What is more surprising is that the Huawei P50 series was launched with 4G where its predecessors enjoy 5G. All because Huawei is struggling to procure components in this U.S. and Japanese hegemony.

But it looks like Huawei may finally have a solution if the rumors are to be believed. A person who claims to be a Huawei employee states that Huawei would re-launch devices with 5G. This, if true, should bring joy to both the company and its users. The only way forward is by finding new sources, which is not going to be an easy task for Huawei. Note that this is just a rumor at this point so take it with a pinch of salt.

Huawei Mate 50 series is expected to launch later this year, and it should ideally support 5G. What remains to be seen is from where is Huawei planning to procure components.

Huawei relaunches the Mate 40 Pro, Mate 40E & Nova 8 Pro with HarmonyOS but 4G only

Jed John Ikoba — Thu, 17 Jun 2021 16:58:54 +0000

Earlier this month, Huawei listed the Mate 40 Pro 4G, Mate 40E 4G, and Nova 8 Pro 4G for presale in China. The tech giant has now officially launched the trio for sale in China. The major highlight of the models is the presence of HarmonyOS 2 onboard all three models.

The models are not new, they had earlier been launched last year but with 5G capabilities. The company has decided to release a 4G-only version, perhaps due to the chip shortage occasioned by the US trade embargo that has made it impossible for the Chinese firm to buy semiconductors from US companies. The company is likely relying on the stockpile of chips it made before the ban went into effect.

Talking of the specs, the Huawei Mate 40 Pro 4G version is equipped with a Kirin 9000 processor paired with 8GB RAM while there are 128GB and 256GB storage options. The device starts at 6,099 yuan which is 400 yuan cheaper than the 5G version.

On the other hand, the Mate 40E 4G version is equipped with a Kirin 990E processor backed by 8GB RAM as well as 128GB and 256GB storage options. The Mate 40E starts at 4199 yuan, also 400 yuan cheaper than the 5G version.

The Nova 8 Pro 4G is the cheapest model among the lot. It is equipped with a Kirin 985 processor and has the same memory configuration as its predecessors. It starts at 3699 yuan which is 300 yuan cheaper than the 5G version.

Apart from the lack of a 5G modem, the 4G versions are exactly the same as their 5G counterparts in terms of product design and other specs. You also get the HarmonyOS 2 installed from the go.

We don’t know if Huawei will have enough stock to sell these models outside China. By the way, would you still buy a Huawei smartphone in the absence of GMS? Let us know your thoughts in the comments section.

Huawei Mate 40E reservations spotted on Tmall, device may launch soon

The Huawei Mate 40E is expected to launch soon, after a reservation listing was spotted on Tmall before being taken down by the compny. The new device was seen on the popular Chinese website with its model number, OCE-AN00.

The Mate 40E from the Chinese tech giant was recently spotted passing certification with the Wireless Power Consortium. It is set to arrive with a 6.5 inch OLED display with a resolution of 2376 x 1080px. Under the hood, the HiSilicon 990E 5G chipset will run the new device, which will reach clock speeds of up to 2.86GHz. Notably, the ‘E’ in the smartphone’s name is likely to highlight the Kirin 990E processor.

In terms of other specifications, the smartphone was expected to launch with a 50 megapixel Sony IMX700 sensor, but will now reportedly arrive with a 64 megapixel OmniVision OV64A sensor. This sensor features a 1/1.34-inch outsole, a single pixel size of 1um, support for four in one pixel binning up to 2um. Unfortunately, finer details regarding the device are currently unknown.

The company might be planning an imminent launch of the Mate 40E, especially considering that it had been listed on the Tmall store. However, the company was quick to remove the listing, but the name of the device was confirmed, as per a TechSina report. In other words, we can expect an approaching launch date. So stay tuned for more, as we will be providing updates when additional information is available.

Huawei Mate 40E rumoured to ditch a 50MP IMX700 sensor for a 64MP OV64A one

Huawei officially released its latest flagship the Mate 40 series in October last year, including the Mate 40, Mate 40 Pro, Mate 40 Pro+, and Mate 40 RS. According to previous news, the Huawei Mate 40 series also includes a low-profile model which is said to go by the name Mate 40E.

Noted tipster Digital Chat Station has now revealed that the Mate 40E was originally scheduled to launch with a 50-megapixel Sony IMX 700 sensor onboard as the main camera but presently, due to the shortage of components, it will be replaced with a 64-megapixel sensor.

The 64-megapixel sensor is an Omnivision OV64A sensor with a 1/1.34-inch outsole, a single pixel size of 1um, support for four-in-one pixels up to 2um. The sensor also supports three exposures, four-in-one HDR, on-chip combination, and the tone mapping function can provide stable and high-quality image output.

Huawei Mate 40E has been certified as early as last month. The information shows that the machine will use a 6.5-inch OLED screen with a resolution of 2376 x 1080 pixels and a chip with a main frequency of 2.86GHz said to be the Kirin 990 5G chip.

The Kirin 990 5G is the flagship 5G chip that Huawei previously launched on the Mate 30 series. It uses the world’s leading 7nm+ EUV process at the time. It has a native integrated 5G baseband with a smaller area and lower power consumption. The flagship SoC of Vinci-based NPU has strong overall performance.

In terms of appearance, the mate 40E maintains the same design as the Mate 40 model. The front uses a notch curved screen, and it also supports a 90Hz refresh rate. The back also uses a ring-shaped camera module solution.

At present, Huawei officials have not disclosed relevant information about the Mate 40E. However, since it has passed the network access certification, that is an indication that the device will be launched pretty soon.
