What They Say
The details of the new Huawei Mate 40 series have been leaked with the P40 Pro reported to be using a 2772 x 1344 ‘waterfall’ display and an in-display fingerprint sensor. The camera array ring resembles an iPod click wheel and houses a 50MP primary camera with f/1.9 aperture and OIS support. A 20MP wide-angle and a 12MP zoom sensor are also set to feature. Laser autofocus, a color temperature sensor, and an LED flash also feature.
The APU is the octa-core Kirin 90000 and there’s a 4,400mAh battery with 65W charging. There are no Google services and the OS will be Android 10-based EMUI 11 with Huawei Mobile Services
What We Think
The Kirin 9000 may be the last chip that comes from TSMC according to some semiconductor specialists, unless TSMC gets permission to ship to Huawei. It has been reported that Chinese regulators may be being put under pressure to block the Arm/Nvidia deal which is probably a reaction to the pressure from the US. (BR)
