That time of year has come to talk about Huawei’s new Premium range contenders; We recently met the Mate 40 and gave you our first impressions of the Mate 40 Pro , but today it is the turn of the most elite model of the family: the Huawei Mate 40 Pro + , which adds a fifth sensor to its photographic configuration and can boast of counting with one of the fastest wireless charges on the market. Without further ado, it’s time to meet him.

Huawei Mate 40 Pro +: continuous design, but improved: Huawei Mate 40 Pro +, the elite of Huawei’s elite

Both in the case of the Huawei Mate 40 Pro and the 40 Pro + model, you can see a large 6.76-inch OLED panel with high resolution (2,772 x 1,344 pixels) and a refresh rate of 90Hz . The curvature of the side edges makes an appearance on the panel again, but the same cannot be said for the notch, which has been replaced by a pill-shaped perforation located on the upper left corner.

The latter houses a 13MP selfie camera and a 3D time-of-flight sensor, which not only implies highly accurate and safe facial recognition, but also gesture control and the On Display function. This function can detect when the user is looking at the screen to avoid locking the device automatically.

The back cover is the same as last year’s model (Mate 30), with the exception of the halo-shaped photo module, which distributes 5 sensors and an LED flash symmetrically.

It is also worth mentioning that the terminal consists of IP68 certification against water and dust , to which we must add the existence of a version of the Huawei Mate 40 Pro + with a ceramic body, which will be available in only two colors: black and white. .

Hardware and Features

The heart of the Mate 40 series is the powerful new 5nm Kirin 9000 , which promises a 30% performance increase in CPU and 50% in GPU over the legendary Kirin 990. In addition, it has 5G connectivity thanks to the Balong modem. 5000 brand.

Another significant difference with the Pro model is the presence of 12GB of RAM , but in the end they are complemented by the same storage capacity as the others, that is, 256GB.

Powering the terminal is a respectable 4,500mAh battery , which has been equipped with 66W fast charging, 50W wireless charging and also with reverse charging.

As expected, the operating system of turn is Android 10 together with the EMUI 11 user interface, but as with all Huawei terminals after the commercial veto, it lacks Google services and applications.

Cameras

In the Huawei Mate 40 Pro + we find not 3 or 4 rear cameras, but 5 sensors , starting with a 50MP SuperSensing RYYB lens with f / 1.9 aperture and 23-millimeter focal length. Accompanying this is a 20MP wide-angle sensor, a 12MP telephoto that provides 5x optical zoom to the set, another 8MP periscope telephoto lens (with 10X optical zoom) and, finally, a ToF sensor (time of flight). that puts the cherry on the cake.

Availability and price of the Huawei Mate 40 Pro +

The Huawei Mate 40 Pro + and its siblings should go on sale in mid-November, and although certain details about its availability have yet to be confirmed, at least we are certain that the device will be sold starting at 1,399 euros in Europe.
