Huawei Mate 40 octagonal lens details revealed: six-camera support

On the day when iPhone 12 was released, Huawei officially released the pre-release poster for the Huawei Mate 40 series.

Just when surrounding leaks and industry speculation unanimously pointed out that the Huawei Mate40 series will continue the circular rear lens module of the previous generation, this official poster released unexpectedly important information, suggesting that the new phone may adopt an octagonal lens design. This is also the first time that the official has publicly revealed this.

Judging from the official poster, there are two eye-catching places in the picture. The first is the orange physical button, and the other is the main camera on the back, which seems to be an octagonal design.

In addition, the corners of the phone are relatively rounded, and if nothing unexpected happens, it will continue the design style of the curved screen.

Recently, the whistleblower @RODENT950 released more details about the Huawei Mate 40 series octagonal lens module. The newly leaked renderings show that the Huawei Mate series (should be the Pro version) will be equipped with a six-lens array, including a ToF sensor lens.

The specific specifications are still a mystery. However, foreign media speculate that its main camera sensor is expected to be upgraded to 100 million pixels, and the Mate 40 Pro and Mate Pro+ will support professional video shooting functions.

@RODENT950 previously revealed that the Mate 40 Pro and Mate Pro+ will replace bulky video cameras.

Previously, Huawei P40 Pro+ has already increased the number of cameras to 5, and as the most powerful Mate series in history, it is very likely that the Huawei Mate 40 series will be equipped with six cameras.

Known information shows that the Huawei Mate 40 series will adopt a front dual-hole curved screen design, the first 5nm Kirin 9000 chip, upgraded to 66W fast charging, and run EMUI 11.
