Honor released V40 series phones, first products after separating from Huawei

Chinese smartphone maker Honor released the V40 series phones on January 22, the first products released after Honor's independence from Huawei.

Honor V40 is equipped with the MediaTek Dimensity 1000+ processor and built-in 4000mAh battery. It supports 66W super-fast charging, which can charge up to 60% in 15 minutes, and the high-end version supports 50W wireless fast charging.

Honor V40 supports 5G dual-SIM standby for all bands of China's four major carriers with download speeds of up to 2GB per second.

It features a 6.72-inch screen, weighs 186 grams, is 8.04 mm thick, and is available in three colors.

The screen has a resolution of 1,236x2,676, supports a 120Hz screen refresh rate and HDR10.

It packs a 50MP main camera, an 8MP ultra-wide-angle camera, and a 2MP macro camera, together with a laser focus sensor.

The Honor V40 is priced at RMB 3,599 ($556) for the 8+128GB version and RMB 3,999 for the 8+256GB version, and goes on sale on January 22.

At the end of last year, Huawei sold Honor as a whole, saying Huawei does not hold any shares of Honor after the delivery, nor does it participate in the management and decision-making.
