It has been more than a year since the Huawei Mate 40 series was released on October 22, 2020. Due to well-known reasons, the 5G version of the Huawei Mate 40 series is hard to find. Currently, on the official website of Huawei Mall, the Huawei Mate 40 series is not available. Will this continue?nbsp;The answer is no, because the successor to the Huawei Mate 40 series, the Huawei Mate 50 series, is coming.
Over the past few weeks, there have been several reports regarding the Huawei Mate 50 series. According to speculations, the Huawei Mate 50 series uses a 14nm production line of a radio frequency chip, completely getting rid of the blockade restrictions. The smartphone will still use the Kirin 9000 but this is the last generation. It will also continue the Kirin + Qualcomm dual version. While the Chinese self-developed 5G RF chip will support 5G, the Qualcomm version of the Huawei Mate 50 series will not.
Furthermore, there are speculations regarding the appearance and launch time for the Huawei Mate 50 series. The rumors claim that the rear of the Mate 50 series remains similar to the Huawei Mate 40 series. The initial speculation claims that this smartphone has both the Kirin 9000 and Snapdragon 8 Gen1 versions.
