Performance
Under the hood, the Mate 40 Pro is powered by the Kirin 9000 5G chipset, built on a 5nm process, and features an octa-core CPU. It consists of one Cortex-A77 core running at 3.13 GHz, three Cortex-A77 cores at 2.54 GHz, and four Cortex-A55 cores at 2.05 GHz. The Mali-G78 MP24 GPU complements this setup to provide a seamless and powerful performance, particularly beneficial for demanding applications and games. The phone comes with 8GB of RAM and offers multiple storage options – 128GB, 256GB, or 512GB – all of which utilize UFS 3.1 technology for faster read and write speeds. Additionally, storage can be augmented with a Nano Memory card up to 256GB, albeit at the cost of a SIM slot.
