Huawei Mate 40E debut: Kirin 990E, 90Hz screen, 40W fast charging, price from 16.3 million

Late last year, Huawei launched the Mate 40 series in China, which includes the Mate 40, Mate 40 Pro, Mate 40 Pro + and Mate 40 RS Porsche Design. Today (March 10), the company has just continued to launch a new smartphone in the same series, called the Mate 40E. The phone has “slightly better” specifications than the standard model, but inferior to the Mate 40 Pro.

Huawei Mate 40E is equipped with a 6.5-inch OLED screen with curved edges on the sides, using a “punch hole” design to accommodate the 13MP selfie camera. The screen of the machine has a resolution of Full HD + (1080 x 2376 pixels), a refresh rate of 90Hz and a touch sampling rate of 240Hz. In addition, it also integrates a fingerprint sensor below the screen.

The phone owns the hardware power coming from the Kirin 990E processor, instead of using the Kirin 9000E and Kirin 9000 chip like the Mate 40 and Mate 40 Pro. The device is pre-installed with Android operating system 11 with EMUI 11 interface when sold, supporting expanding storage capacity through the NM memory card slot.

Moving to the back, Mate 40E owns a circular 3-camera cluster with 64MP f / 1.9 main sensor, 16MP super wide-angle camera and 8MP telephoto camera with 3x optical zoom. The device comes with a 4200mAh capacity battery, supports 40W fast wired charging, 40W wireless charging and 5W wireless reverse charging.

Mate 40E supports 2 SIMs, 5G network connectivity, dual-band Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.2, dual-frequency GPS, NFC and USB-C port. In addition to an integrated fingerprint sensor below the screen, the device also supports face unlock through the selfie camera on the front.

Price and time of release

As expected, the Mate 40E 5G will start on shelves in China on March 18, with prices starting from CNY 4,599 (about VND 16.3 million) for the 8GB RAM + 128GB ROM. Meanwhile, the more advanced version with 8GB RAM + 256GB ROM is sold for 5099 yuan (about 18.1 million). The phone comes in 3 color options: Black, White and Silver.
