The Mate 40 series was announced a few months ago. The series includes the Mate 40, the Mate 40 Pro, the Mate 40 Pro+, and the Mate 40 RS Porsche Edition. Alongside these phones, Huawei also announced a fifth Mate phone – the Mate 30E Pro 5G. However, it appears there is another Mate 40 phone in the pipeline, one that will arrive as the Mate 40E.
This new device was spotted in the database of the Wireless Power Consortium (WPC). The device which has model number OCE-AN00, (close to that of the Mate 40 which is OCE-AN10) was registered on December 9. The included image shows a device that looks like the standard Mate 40.
The phone packs a curved display with a hole in the top left corner of the screen for a single camera. The power button, which is red, is on the right side of the phone alongside the volume control button. On the back of the phone is a cookie-shaped camera housing that is home to four holes but three cameras. You can also see the Leica branding and an LED flash in the housing too. The Huawei Mate 40 has an audio jack and infrared sensor at the top while the bottom is home to the SIM tray, USB-C port, and a speaker grille.
TENAA already certified a Huawei phone with the OCE-AN00 model number. It has a 6.5-inch OLED screen with a 2376 x 1080 resolution. Unlike the standard Mate 40 which has a Kirin 9000E processor with a clock speed of 3.13GHz, the Mate 40E has a 2.86GHz processor. Our guess is that this might be the Kirin 990E 5G or Kirin 990 5G chipset. Since the Mate 40E has an “E” in its name, it is most likely powered by the Kirin 900E 5G.

The phone will come in 6GB, 8GB, and 12GB RAM variants with 128GB, 256GB, and 512GB storage options. The primary camera is a 50MP sensor and it comes with a 16MP sensor and an 8MP sensor which should be the ultrawide and telephoto cameras respectively. The selfie camera is a 13MP sensor.
The Mate 40E, when it launches will have support for storage expansion, an in-display fingerprint scanner, a 4100mAh battery, and run Android 10 out of the box. We do not know when the phone will be unveiled but as we can see from the specs, the Mate 40E is just a Mate 40 with a Kirin 990E 5G or Kirin 990 5G chipset, which means it should sell for less when it is announced.
Huawei most likely made this model due to its chip production issues. The Kirin 9000 series is in limited supply, so it is practically launching a Mate 40 phone with a last-gen processor.
