Huawei Mate 40 Series to come with 90Hz display, Huawei P50 and Mate 50 series with 120Hz [Updated]

June 30, 2020:

It was previously mentioned that the upcoming flagship – Huawei Mate 40 series will feature a 120Hz refresh rate display but now, new information hints that Huawei plans to stick with 90Hz for this year.

According to the CEO of Display Supply Chain Consultants (DSCC), Ross Young, Huawei Mate 40 series will still use a 90Hz display. While the company will use a 120Hz display in next year’s Huawei Mate 50 Series.

This also raises the possibility that Huawei P50 Series, which releases early in the year, may debut with the 120Hz refresh rate. However, nothing is confirmed officially at the moment.

Mate 40 will be 90Hz as said above. Next year’s Mate 50 models will be 120Hz, probably with LTPO…

With the launch of the Huawei P40 series, Huawei introduced the new quad curved overflow display with a higher display refresh rate of 90Hz. Huawei phone’s previously limited to the 60Hz display.

A higher refresh rate allows the display to refresh the screen content more dynamically. The difference for you would be smoother animations compared to a 60Hz panel. Gaming would also be a treat, particularly in fast-paced titles.

According to the previous report, Huawei Mate 40 series will launch somewhere around October 2020. The phone will come pre-equipped with EMUI 11 (Android 11).
