Huawei became the latest manufacturer to set a date to reveal its new flagship, with the Mate 40 set to be unveiled just over a week after the anticipated launch of Apple’s new iPhone.
The Chinese company tweeted news about a 22 October launch event using the taglines “unprecedented power is coming” and “leap further ahead”.
In recent years, Huawei has updated its flagship devices twice a year, with its Mate series announced in September or October [1] and P series in March [2].
The announcement of the upcoming event comes just before Apple’s expected iPhone launch [3] scheduled for 13 October.
In 2019, Huawei Mate 30 devices were the company’s first releases without Google apps following well-publicised US restrictions.
This year’s version could be the last to feature its Kirin processors unless Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC), the manufacturer of the chips [4], is able to receive a licence to continue supplying Huawei.
Rumours have been swirling in the media about Huawei placing a large order with the chipmaker prior to the ban kicking-in during September, and speculation on whether TSMC will secure a permit from the US to continue to work for Huawei.
On Saturday (10 October) Focus Taiwan reported rumours TSMC had received a licence, though it did not clarify details of apparent terms and conditions attached to it.
