Yesterday, Huawei unveiled its highly anticipated next-generation flagship smartphones: the Huawei Mate 40, Mate 40 Pro and Mate 40 Pro+.

HUAWEI MATE 40 SMARTPHONES SOLD OUT IN CHINA IN 28 SECONDS
Shortly after the announcement, the devices became available for pre-order on the popular JD.com platform. JD officials officially announced that the Huawei Mate 40 series is sold out on the platform in just 28 seconds.

As usual, the size of the launch batch was not reported. But it became known that more than four million people watched the press conference dedicated to the announcement of the Huawei Mate 40 live on the JD platform alone.


JD said that it will continue to accept pre-orders until the official start of smartphone sales in China; which will be on October 30. However, on this day, only those who managed to order them within the first seconds will be able to receive their smartphones. At the moment, only the bigger models Mate 40 Pro and Mate 40 Pro+ are available for pre-order.

According to the official information, the performance of the smartphones of the Mate 40 line will decrease by only 2.5% within 36 months after the start of use.

Simultaneously with smartphones, Huawei introduced a new smartwatch and earbuds.


HUAWEI MATE 40 PRO IS THE NEW KING OF MOBILE PHOTOGRAPHY
Yesterday, Chinese phone maker Huawei announced the new Mate 40 series lineup; which includes the more “affordable” Mate 40, along with its bigger brothers, the Mate 40 Pro and Mate 40 Pro Plus. Following the announcement, the renowned camera analysis site DxOMark released their review for the Mate 40 Pro.

Let’s start with with final total score of 136 points. This score is then split into “Photo” in which the smartphone achieves a whopping 140 points; “Video” with 116 points and a new metric called “Zoom” which, as the names suggests, really takes into consideration the zoom capabilities of the device. In Zoom the Mate 40 Pro got 88 points.

Either way, the final total score of 136 points puts the Mate 40 Pro in the first place on DxOMark’s ranking system; thus making it the new king of mobile photography.

Before looking further into the review, let’s recap the camera hardware we find on the handset. Starting with the primary 50 MP 1/1.28″ sensor (12 MP output) with 23 mm-equivalent (1x defined as 27 mm) f/1.9-aperture lens, full-pixel Octa-PD; paired with an ultra wide 20 MP 1/1.54″ sensor with 18mm-equivalent f/1.8-aperture lens, PDAF; and finally a telephoto 12 MP 1/3.56″ sensor with 125mm-equivalent f/3.4-aperture lens, PDAF, OIS. The device also has a multispectral color temperature sensor. While on the software side, the smartphone can record 4K video at 60fps.

The phone is actually pretty good. The software is a bit lacking...as in the app availability is taking a while to catch up. Still though I think the biggest challenge would be for Huawei to make the chips for its next flagship phone. The stock of smartphone chips they had gathered wouldn't last long.

Sorry for being off topic. It make me remind a joke. Chip is good, America ban chips to Huawei; B2 bomber is good, America will never export to PLA. America just promote cheap democracy to Chinese everyday.

Phone is not Huawei's all business. Chips will impact Huawei grows, finally they will find a solution.

Its not just patriotism that made this phone sell like a hot cake. It is one of the first phone to use 5nm processor. It has the biggest camera sensor. QHD screen and reasonably big battery compared to other phones. Technically this phone is awesome.
Software is not a big issue in China. They have all their indigenous alternatives already for browsing, search engine, navigation, social apps, and emails.

It was expected to sell big in China.

with the amount of Chips already stocked Huawei can sell another flag ship with same chip.

Huawei has the capability to come up with alternative in next 1 to 2 years. I hope they are safe.

I want them to thrive as competitive environment in every sector is ultimately beneficial for the consumers.

I think SMIC has something up their sleeves. We may see 5nm process by year end of 2021. SMIC has already produces a similar 7-8nm by end of this year.

I thought SMIC also relies on some american tech for the production of chips...
...wouldn't they also have to find alternative tech?

7-8nm can be made very good phones. I forget the details of my phone Mate 20 pro, it maybe carry a 7-8 nm chip. The phone is still very good after more than 1 year usage.

N+1 has no american can input. SMIC has some machine and software from American companies. They can ignore the restriction since American use lowlife trick to attack Huawei. The most SMIC can forgo those support from US companies. It's not a big deal since SMIC now has full state support.
