Despite all the problems that the company is facing because of the Entity list, Huawei unveiled its latest flagship lineup last month. The Mate 40 Pro lineup consisted of three smartphones all powered by Kirin 9000 SoC based on TSMC’s 5nm process. While the whole lineup will not be available here, Huawei Nepal is looking to launch the Mate 40 Pro in Nepal. Let’s check out the specifications, features, expected price, and availability of Huawei Mate 40 Pro in Nepal.
Huawei Mate 40 Pro Overview
Design and Display
Huawei Mate 40 Pro features a 6.76-inches AMOLED panel with an FHD+ resolution of 2772 x 1344 pixels. The Horizon display is curved 88-degree on both sides of the phone. There is a pill-shaped cutout for the front-facing camera. The device supports up to 90Hz refresh rate and a touch sampling rate of up to 240Hz. Mate 40 Pro also marks the return of the physical volume rocker but users can still opt to use the virtual buttons. 
The main talking point of the device is the camera arrangements on the back of the device. The quad-camera setup is now on the circumference of the circular camera module which the company addresses as Space Ring. The device is available in four color options – Mystic Silver, White, Black, and Olive Green.
Performance
The Huawei Mate 40 Pro packs Kirin 9000 under its hood. This makes the Mate 40 series the first Android devices to switch to a more efficient 5nm process node. Huawei has managed to pack 15 billion transistors into the new chipset. It sports a three-tier architecture with the Cortex A77 core (@3.13GHz) as the prime core. It is accompanied by three other Cortex A77 (@2.54 GHz) and four Cortex A55 cores (@2.05GHz). The graphics department is handled by Mali G78 MP24 that has 24 cores.
