Precisely, he says that the standard charger of Honor is reportedly the same( HW-110600C0x) as Huawei. Previously, a Huawei 66W charger got China’s 3C certification back in July. It had the model number HW-110600C00 and rated as 11V/6A. This charging tech later debuted in the company’s latest flagship Mate 40 series.

While Honor is now effectively independent from Huawei, it seems like the company wants to use some of the latter’s technology even after parting ways. Anyway, the Honor V40 is likely to sport the MediaTek Dimensity 1000+ SoC. Earlier rumors said that the device will feature an AMOLED 120Hz display, 50MP Sony IMX700 RYYB camera sensor.
