Your smartphone is a constant companion that can connect you to the world around you at the tap of a screen. It’s also one of the key items you grab just before leaving the house. So, naturally you’re going to want it to be the absolute best smartphone that there is out there. 

This smartphone would undoubtedly be the new HUAWEI Mate40 Pro, which will be available in South Africa from 1 April. Here are just some of the specs of this eagerly anticipated flagship.

A new and superior take on design 

The HUAWEI Mate40 Pro is bringing to the table innovative features and striking design elements that elevate the user experience. With a strong focus on 5G performance, trend-setting design ethos and smartphone videography, the HUAWEI Mate 40 Pro encompasses the spirit of Huawei’s innovative streak and commitment to providing users with everything they would want and more. 

The HUAWEI Mate40 Pro continues with its smartphone design trend thanks to its iconic Space Ring design with its unique colourways of Mystic Silver and Black. This is then complemented upfront with the ultra-curved HUAWEI Horizon Display, which curves at 88 degrees, allowing for a completely borderless and futuristic viewing experience. By curving the display to this extent, Huawei also gives users the option to use the volume rockers either with the physical buttons or virtual ones that can be customised. So, imagine taking the HUAWEI Mate40 Pro with you the next time you go to an amusement park like Gold Reef City – so many rides, so many epic angles!

Performance like you’ve never seen before

The HUAWEI Mate40 Pro features the 5nm Kirin 9000 flagship SoC (System on chip), the industry’s most advanced and transistor-dense SoC to date. It is powerful, power efficient and high speed.

The Kirin 9000 is steeped in Huawei’s leading innovations. It adopts a three-level power efficiency architecture, with one big core, three middle cores, and four small cores. The clock frequencies of the cores are as fast as 3.13GHz.

The Kirin 9000 includes a 24-core Mali-G78 GPU, the most powerful GPU yet in a Huawei mobile SoC, which means it can run games at higher framerates and provide better picture quality to deliver a more immersive gaming experience.

HUAWEI Mate40 Pro and Huawei Mobile Services (HMS) makes day-to-day tasks much easier

The HUAWEI Mate40 Pro is equipped with HMS for a smarter, richer, more convenient and secure smartphone experience. It is also preinstalled with HUAWEI AppGallery and the Petal Search widget, which acts as a gateway to over a million local apps. You can install local apps like Capitec, FNB, ABSA, Nedbank, Standard Bank, Showmax, Bolt, Takealot, Superbalist, Zando and many more.  

Evolution along a smartphone lineup boils down to a never-ending commitment to innovation and delivering the very best to consumers, be it in terms of performance, design or even videography. The HUAWEI Mate40 Pro is the epitome of this evolution.
