Editorial report
Huawei Mate 40E 8 GB / 256 GB / China technical sheet
The Huawei Mate 40E suits people looking for a versatile phone with strong camera options and flexible charging. Its camera and battery are among the best of phones launched around the same time, though the main camera's f/1.9 aperture is worse than most.
The 64 MP main camera has higher resolution than most phones of its time and includes optical image stabilization. A telephoto camera adds 3x optical zoom, among the highest of its time, while a 16 MP ultrawide camera covers broader framing. The main camera aperture is a specific comparative weakness, even as the camera setup as a whole ranks among the best of its time.
The 4,200 mAh battery capacity is typical for the period. Wired charging at 40 W is better than most, and 40 W wireless charging is among the best; reverse charging is also included. The 6.5-inch OLED display packs 402 ppi, better than most phones of its time, while its 90 Hz refresh rate is typical. Its 8 GB of RAM is more than most phones of the period offer. This version has 128 GB of storage, and the Mate 40E is also sold with 256 GB.
With an overall NeoScore of 7.0, the Mate 40E is a strong fit for buyers who prioritize camera versatility, optical zoom and wireless charging, and can accept a less competitive main-camera aperture.
