Honor Mobile’s official Weibo said that the Honor X40 will be equipped with a 5100mAh battery, and the body is slim and light. As can be seen from the image, the Honor X40 will use a USB-C interface, with a speaker on the bottom right side of the phone and a SIM card slot on the left. At the same time, the speaker unit of the machine does not look small.

As per yesterday’s official warm-up photo, there is no speaker opening on the top of the Honor X40 and it is expected that the machine will not be equipped with stereo dual speakers. In terms of imaging, the machine will use a dual rear camera, and the two cameras will be located at either end of the Star Ring module, which can be viewed from afar. In terms of the screen, the official said that the machine will use a billion-color OLED curved screen, the screen is designed with a hole in the center, and the curvature is large.

DNS has learned that digital blogger @Digital Chat Station broke the news the day before yesterday that the Honor X40 will feature a high-frequency dimming OLED flexible curved screen with a peak brightness of 800 nits and support for 100% P3 color gamut. In terms of price, the Honor X40 is positioned in the “thousand-yuan gear”, and the blogger commented that it is “ok at this price”.

According to the Weibo blogger @王子百石通 broke the news in August, in addition to the Honor X40, Honor will also release the Honor X40 Max with an LCD straight screen. Previously, it was revealed that the Honor X40 Max will support 40W wired fast charging and have dual rear cameras.

Strategy Analytics released a report saying that due to the impact of the new crown epidemic, China’s smartphone shipments in Q2 2022 will drop by 14% year-on-year to 67.7 million units.

Among them, Honor became the largest smartphone manufacturer in China for the first time with a market share of 19%. vivo, OPPO (including OnePlus), Xiaomi, and Apple rounded out the top five.

According to Strategy Analytics, this is the first time Honor has taken the top spot in the domestic market since it split from Huawei in 2021. In Q2 2022, Honor will ship 13.1 million smartphones in China, significantly outpacing the overall market with an annual growth rate of 93%.
