For the first time ever, the flagship 5G SoC has more than 15.3 billion transistors, making it the densest and most full-featured 5G SoC to date. The powerful CPU features a three-level power efficiency architecture with cores running at clock frequencies of up to 3.13GHz. A 24-core Mali-G78 GPU, as well as an innovative NPU featuring two big cores and one tiny core is also integrated into the SoC.

The 24-core Mali-G78 GPU is the most powerful GPU ever seen on a Huawei device. This delivers advanced graphics performance and is complemented by an amazing audio visual experience for immersive gaming. The 90Hz display works together with 240Hz touch sampling rate for greater responsiveness and provides haptic feedback to correspond with the visual experience. This entertainment set-up is completed with dual stereo speakers to create experiences with super bass stereo.

The Super Sensing Wide Camera provides true high definition shots. Image quality has been further enhanced with Full Pixel Octa PD AutoFocus. The improved distortion correction targets the face, body and limbs.

The Ultra Vision Selfie Camera on the Huawei Mate 40 Series takes selfies and videos to new heights with support for 4K capture. There is the option to shoot in one of three available fields of view, ranging from up close and personal to ultra-wide. Slow-Motion Selfie is also available, adding even more versatility to the front camera.
