Huawei has partnered with Porsche Design to announced a special edition of the Mate 40. Dubbed the Huawei Mate 40 RS Porsche Design, the phone shares some specs with the Mate 40 Pro series but also differs in its own way.
The Huawei Mate 40 RS Porsche Design features a high-strength nano-tech ceramic back which Huawei says has a “diamond-like shine and a sapphire-like toughness”. The stand out part of the design is the octagonal camera housing, and we won’t be surprised if we see other manufacturers copy the design in the near future. This is ceramic, so what you get is a glossy finish. There is no mention of an oleophobic coating, however, the white variant should be better at hiding smudges.
The Porsche Design Huawei has the same a 6.76-inch OLED display with a 90Hz refresh rate. There is a pill-shaped punch hole in the top left corner of the screen that houses a 13MP primary camera and a 3D depth-sensing camera.
It is also powered by a Kirin 9000 processor with 12GB of RAM but this time around a whopping 512GB of storage. It has a 50MP Ultravision main camera, a 20MP ultrawide Cine Camera, a 12MP telephoto camera with 3x optical zoom and OIS, an 8MP SuperZoom Camera that brings 10x optical zoom and also has OIS, and a 3D depth-sensing camera support for autofocus.
There is a 4400mAh battery inside the phone with support for 66W Wired Huawei SuperCharge and 50W Wireless Huawei SuperCharge. The Porsche Design Huawei Mate 40 RS has stereo speakers, Bluetooth 5.2, NFC, Wi-Fi 6, and a USB 3.1 Type-C port.
The phone runs EMUI 11 based on Android 10 out of the box.
