After becoming independent from Huawei, Honor is planning to make 100 million smartphones next year. It has already started negotiations with Qualcomm, MediaTek to procure their chips. As a head start, the company is likely to unveil a product very soon and it could be Honor V40. Amidst a lot of leaks about the device, a leak now says it will support 45W wireless charging.

A user on Weibo(@鹏鹏君驾到) has leaked an alleged rear design of Honor’s wireless charger that could launch alongside Honor V40. The design shows a hemisphere design with an ‘Honor’ Logo at the bottom. There are a vertical array of slots and two arched cutouts possibly for the heat dissipation grille and rubber bush respectively.

There is a dot above the design and it could be an LED indicator. The rear of the design also has specifications. Accordingly, it is registered under Honor Terminal Co Ltd.,(English Translated). Interestingly, the specs have the name ‘Vertical Wireless Charger’ with a max output of 45W. The charger supports a USB-C port and draws input in the range of 5V-20V at 6A(max).

Further, the user says(via ITHome) that this charger will support the 45W which should also be the designation of the upcoming Honor V40. If we call, a recent report suggests that Honor V40 will have charging support(HW-110600C0x) of up to 66W. The rated speed configs are 5V at 2A, 10V at 4A, and 11V at 6A out of which the 10V at 4A(40W) could be the wireless charging designation.

In any case, if this is true, Honor should launch a new Wireless charger alongside the Honor V40 in mid-January of 2021. The device with codename(YOK-AN10) has already appeared on China’s MIIT and 3C certifications. Further, a design leak reveals that it sports a dual punch-hole curved display and circular camera layout inspired by a Watch.

The Honor V40 is expected to feature a 6.7-inch FHD+ 120Hz AMOLED display, MediaTek’s Dimensity 1000+ SoC, 50MP Sony IMX700 RYYB sensor, and more. Either way, Honor hasn’t confirmed anything yet, and hence, let’s wait for more leaks in the coming days.
