Editorial report
Huawei Mate 40 8 GB / 256 GB / China technical sheet
The Huawei Mate 40 suits buyers who put camera versatility and broad connectivity first, but can accept a smaller battery than most phones of its time. Its 4,200 mAh battery is below average; wired charging at 40 W is faster than on most phones from the period, while 40 W wireless charging is among the fastest.
The 6.5-inch OLED display runs at 90 Hz and has a density of 402 ppi, higher than on most phones launched around the same time. Its AnTuTu result is also among the best of its time. This configuration pairs 8 GB of RAM with 256 GB of storage, more than most phones of the period.
The main camera has a 1/1.28″ sensor, among the largest of its time, plus optical image stabilization. A telephoto camera adds 3x optical zoom, also among the highest of the period. The main camera's f/1.9 aperture is less bright than on most phones launched around then. The setup also includes a 16 MP ultrawide camera.
Overall, the camera, battery, connectivity and performance are among the best of its time, while design and display are better than most. With a NeoScore of 7.2, the Mate 40 is a strong fit for buyers seeking camera flexibility, optical zoom and wireless charging, with battery capacity a secondary concern.
