Honor V40
Honor unveiled its first smartphone Honor V40 5G after it became an independent entity from Huawei Chinese, the phone was launched in the Chinese market after postponing its launch for several days so that the company can ship it outside the Chinese market with Google services.
Since the US ban imposed by the United States of America on Huawei in May 2019, the Chinese company is not allowed to use Google services on its devices and this was also applicable to Honor phones since it is a brand owned by Huawei.
After Honor separated from Huawei and officially sold it to a group of investors, it became possible for the company to use all Google services without any problems.
Below we will explain to you the full specifications of the phone with its most important points, disadvantages and advantages, and whether it is worth the amount paid for it or not.
Honor V40 specifications
The new flagship phone from Honor comes with a curved AMOLED screen with a refresh rate of 120Hz in addition to a Mediatek Dimensity 1000+ processor, a triple rear camera and a super fast charging capacity of up to 66W.
The phone was presented with a high-end design with a full screen with very small edges that contain a “hole” for the dual front camera at the top left with a screen with curved sides at 80 degrees.
- Dimensions: Although the phone has a large screen of 6.72 inches, its size is not huge due to the ideal exploitation of the front-end space, as the screen occupies an excellent percentage of it up to 91.1%. The phone comes in a mold length of 163.1 mm with a width of 74.3 mm and a thickness of 8 mm and weighs about 190 gram.
- Materials: As for the manufacturing materials, Honor spared no effort and provided the phone with high-end manufacturing materials represented in an aluminum metal frame with a front and back glass of Corning Gorilla.
- Operating system: The phone works from the box with Honor's own Magic UI 4.0 interface, which is based on the old Android 10 operating system.
- Google services: As for Google services, we have not officially seen the phone with those services until the moment because all the phones that are launched in China do not support the American company’s services by default, but the phone will certainly be shipped to global markets with those services and officially in the coming period.
- Screen: The phone has a 6.72-inch AMOLED screen with a resolution of 1236 x 2676 pixels with a pixel density of 440 pixels per square inch, the screen supports a high refresh rate of 120Hz with support for HDR10 + technology, the screen provides an Always-on display feature to display notifications and offers an excellent average brightness of up to to 800nits.
- Processor: Although MediaTek announced two processor chips for the leading smartphones, Dimensity 1100 and Dimensity 1200, Honor did not use any of them and decided to use the Dimensity 1000+ chip last year, which is found in phones such as Oppo Reno 5 Pro 5G and a Xiaomi phone Redmi K30 Ultra Which has eight cores with a frequency of up to 2.6 GHz and manufactured with a precision of 7 nm.
- Graphics Processor: For games, the phone is supported by a Mali-G77 MC9 graphics and video processor with 9 cores with GPU Turbo X and Hunter Boost engine, which gives a smoother gaming experience.
- Memory: The phone is available with two storage options, either 128 GB or 256 GB of UFS 2.1 type, and both versions work with 8 GB of LPDDR4x RAM.
- Battery: Under the cover there is a non-removable Li-Po 4000 mAh battery. We can say that the phone was developed mostly under Huawei’s ownership due to the fast charging technologies used, and it is the same as in the flagship Huawei Mate 40 Pro, where the V40 supports 66 wired charging Watts, bringing the phone from 0% to 100% in just 35 minutes, and up to 60% within a quarter of an hour. As for the wireless charging speed, it reaches 50 watts, so the phone gets 50% of the battery capacity within 35 minutes. The reverse charging feature is also available (from phone to another) with a capacity of 5 watts.
- Miscellaneous Features: The phone has a USB Type-C charging port that supports the OTG feature, which allows USB devices to be connected directly to the phone, and Honor indicated that it has a 3.5 mm jack for headphones.

- The phone has an infrared (IR) sensor that is used to remotely control home appliances such as displays, air conditioners, and others.
- Audio: The phone outputs dual audio (stereo) with support for Hi-Res Audio technology.
- Sensors: The fingerprint reader is integrated into the screen, and the phone also supports the Face ID lock feature. The phone provides most of the basic sensors such as proximity, accelerometer, compass, gyroscope, and ambient light sensor.
- Colors: Midnight Black, Rose Gold, Titanium Silver.
