A few days ago, TD Tech M40 5G High-End Version was announced in China, which is an upgraded version of the phone launched this year, which is a rebranded version of the Huawei Mate 40 smartphone.

Today, the smartphone officially goes on sale in the Chinese market with a starting price of 3,599 yuan (~$535) for the base model with 8GB RAM and 128GB internal storage. The model with 8GB RAM and 256GB storage is priced at 3,999 yuan (~$595)

It is also rated for IP53 for dust and water resistance to keep your phone safe from the light drizzle in the rain.

Under the hood, the device is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 1000 Plus SoC, which is a major upgrade compared to the outdated Huawei HiSilicon Kirin 9000, which the Chinese company is basically forced to use on its devices because of US sanctions.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 64-megapixel 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.
