Performance
Under the hood, the Mate 40E is powered by Huawei's Kirin 990E 5G chipset, built on a 7 nm+ process. This processor, combined with an octa-core CPU and Mali-G76 MP14 GPU, delivers seamless performance across various applications. It is available with 8GB of RAM and options for either 128GB or 256GB of UFS 3.1 internal storage, promising efficient multitasking and fast data access. However, it's worth noting that the absence of Google Play Services might limit app availability and functionality for some users, as the phone relies on Huawei’s EMUI 11 based on Android 10.
