The resolution increases even more to 50MP, while omnidirectional autofocus and the f/1.9 diaphragm lens with optical stabilization (OIS) remain. As for the pixels? Their size is 1.22μ, while it doubles through the binning process.

Now let’s check the screen. The OLED 6.76″ screen is larger than its predecessor, Mate 30 Pro, with a resolution of 1,344×2,772. The outline of the screen follows the waterfall design with an 88-degree angle like on the Mate 30 Pro, while the virtual buttons also remain for the control of the functions.
The refresh rate is 90Hz with significantly improved touch sampling rate at 240Hz for even better response. Viewing multimedia is also improved as it can combine 3D audio with vibration. However, talking about improvements, we particularly focus on the 66W recharge and the 50W respectively on the wireless recharge.
In addition, we have a brand new Kirin 9000 processor, the first so far on 5nm in Android and Huawei. It has 4 Cortex A-77 cores, one of which is timed at… 3.13GHz. It also has 4 A55 cores. The GPU has 24 cores while it includes built-in 5G modem and supports Wi-Fi 6+.
The difference of the Mate 40 Pro+ is that in the camera the periscopic lens reaches 10x optical zoom, instead of 5x and has a 8MP sensor, f/4.4. Also, it features a 12MP camera for mid-range zoom, with 3x and also laser autofocus. The premium version Porsche Design Huawei Mate 40 RS steals the show with its octagonal rear camera design and a vertical stripe in the middle of the device. This model, which costs €2,299, has 12GB RAM and 512GB storage.
