Leaked information regarding the Huawei Mate 40 series continues to surface. This morning, a Weibo user revealed the camera specifications of the phone.
According to the blogger, the Huawei Mate 40 will focus more on upgrades to its camera features, such as zoom, cinematic camera, and other camera functionalities. Its main camera and ToF camera sensors will use the same configuration as the Huawei P40 series.
UPDATED: The Huawei Mate 40 Pro will also have a periscope telephoto lens, which supports 5x optical and 55x digital zoom. It will also use a new cinema lens with a large sensor.
The blogger also claimed that the device will use a ToF camera to measure temperature. This technology previously appeared on the Honor Play4 Pro smartphone. He also mentioned that the Mate 40 series might come with a large camera sensor.
He also mentioned that the camera configuration has not yet been finalized, but it is highly valuable for reference. Earlier reports indicated that the Huawei Mate 40 series will use the free-form 9P lens. Huawei will apply this technology in its top flagship series to address the degradation and distortion issues of traditional lens imaging. The Dali 9P lens has also completed development, featuring multiple optimizations and upgrades for billion-level pixels.
It is also reported that the Mate 40 series will feature the Kirin 1000 chipset, a 5nm chipset that has yet to be officially announced.
As before, the Huawei Mate 40 series is expected to launch in October. However, the release date may be delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
