The notch on the Mate 30 series has been replaced by a cutout in the upper left hand corner.

The rear camera setup of the three main phones is housed in a distinct ring shape, called the Space Ring camera system, which Huawei says represents "a window to explore the world.

Both system-on-chips allow for standard 5G connectivity, however only "sub-6" is available, meaning the Mate 40 series is not compatible with ultra-fast millimeter wave (mmWave) networks.

The Mate 40 has a 6.5 in (170 mm) display with a 1080 × 2376 resolution, ~402 ppi density, and a ~89.3% screen-to-body ratio.

The Huawei Mate 40 series features Leica optics with similar cameras to the P40.

The Mate 40 Pro has a similar triple-camera setup, with arranged in identical manner.

But, design-wise, lacks the Space Ring, instead opting for a large, octagonal protrusion without an opening in the center.
