The Huawei Mate 40 was officially launched on 22nd October 2020. The phone goes for €900 or $1,069 for the 8GB RAM + 256 GB variant. The much-awaited smartphone features 5G connectivity but it doesn’t support Google Play Services for an obvious reason.
The phone has a really sleek & premium design and the circular rear camera module looks amazing especially in daylight conditions. The Mate 40 also features a 68-degree curved display and since it’s an OLED panel, everything looks really sharp even under direct sunlight. It is available in 5 colors; Mystic Silver, White, Black, Green, and Yellow, as shown in the image at the start of this post.
