The Huawei Mate 40 Pro comes in two colours – Ceramic White and Ceramic Black, and sports a new design at the back of the phone. The camera circle is now a ring, or what Huawei calls the ‘Space Ring Design’. The Mate 40 Pro has a curved edged display that is measured to be 88º. The handsets also offer IP68 dust and water resistance. The small front camera cut-out offers 3D Face Unlock, an Ultra Vision Selfie Camera and Smart Gesture Control.
