The staff has also said that the camera unit of the upcoming Huawei series has also undergone adjustments and optimisations, but there is not much information on the same. According to a report by PhoneArena, the Mate 40 series is expected to come with the Kirin 1020 chipset built upon the new 5-nanometer manufacturing process, which should make it one of the fastest chips on the market. It further mentions that a leakster on Weibo claims Huawei is still planning to release the flagship Huawei Mate 40 series in the fourth quarter of 2020. The launch is a little behind the Mate 30 introduction schedule which was unveiled in September 2019. The delay this year is due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
