A new leak from one of  Twitter’s most reputable leakers ,  Evan Blass , claims that the Chinese company’s new flagship, the Huawei Mate 40 Pro , could land in stores next year. This would be a significant delay with respect to its traditional roadmap, which, historically, has chosen October as the date of going on the market.

Why could the Huawei Mate 40 be delayed?

The key appears to be in the  production of Kirin chips , which could be much smaller than what the company would need for a global launch this fall. In fact, some rumors suggest that Huawei’s new flagship could appear in the first instance in China, its market of origin, to do so a few months later in the rest of the continents.

This information has emerged from this tweet by Evan Blass: 

However, this is not to say that Huawei’s phone is not ready to take the stage. It is possible that  the Huawei Mate 40 will be presented in the next few weeks , but without a planned launch date, for now, which would delay us until 2021.

Be that as it may, the IFA event is usually used to  announce its presentation date,  something that this year has not happened.

Rumors about the new Mate series: The Huawei Mate 40 could hit stores in 2021

At this point in the year, it is more than usual that various details have already been leaked about what this new family of smartphones could be. In fact, we recently showed you its possible design , where you can see a generous camera module on the back (something quite iconic in this series) and a front with a curved screen and embedded camera in the upper left corner.

We will remain attentive to any movement of the company to learn more about the new Huawei Mate 40, which will enter the list of the best smartphones of the year.
