HONOR X40 5G's specifications leaked ahead of launch

HONOR is gearing up to launch a new X-series device called the "X40 5G" on September 15. To recall, the company recently released a teaser of the handset showcasing its design, too. Now, tipster Digital Chat Station has leaked the key specifications of the device. It will reportedly feature a curved 120Hz display, a Snapdragon 695 chip, and a 5,100mAh battery with fast-charging support.

The X40 5G will be the latest addition to HONOR's portfolio of mid-range devices. With its curved design and 120Hz OLED display, the smartphone will certainly attract those looking for a premium-looking handset with a good display. However, going with the same processor as in the X30 and the dual rear camera setup could turn out to be buzz killers in the market.

The HONOR X40 5G will bear a 6.67-inch Full-HD+ (1080x2400 pixels) curved OLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, high-frequency PWM eye protection dimming, and 10-bit color support. The smartphone will feature a centrally-aligned punch-hole cut-out, curved edges, and an under-display fingerprint reader. On the rear, it will sport a ring-shaped camera unit. 

The HONOR X40 5G will be equipped with a dual rear camera unit, including a 50MP main camera and a 2MP auxiliary snapper. On the front, it will sport an 8MP shooter for selfies and video calls. The smartphone house a 5,100mAh battery with 40W fast-charging support. Dimensions-wise, it will be 7.9mm thick and weigh 172g.

The HONOR X40 5G will be powered by a Snapdragon 695 chipset, coupled with up to 8GB of RAM and up to 256GB of internal storage. Under the hood, it will boot Android 12-based Magic UI 6.1. Connectivity options should include dual-band Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, 5G, a 3.5mm headphone jack, and a Type-C port.

HONOR is yet to reveal anything about the official pricing and availability details of the X40 5G. We will know more about the same on September 15. It will be available in Caiyun Chasing the Moon, Magic Night Black and Mo Yuqing color options. However, we expect it to start at around CNY 2,000 (around Rs. 23,000) in China.
