  • Our friendship test is nearly finished, but let's fish out the final remaining components.

  • First on the hook is a second speaker along the top edge of the phone, doing double duty as both an earpiece speaker and a second loudspeaker for stereo sound in landscape mode.

  • This is not just an acoustical win, but also one for repairability! The structure-borne speaker driver we found in the Mate 30 Pro complicated display replacements. Nice to see that Huawei decided to omit this fancy (annoying) tech in the Mate 40 Pro.

  • The second catch is the tiny linear actuator vibration motor. Since we've still got all these iPhones laying around, here's a comparison:

  • The Mate 40 Pro's motor measures in at a puny 9.28 mm x 9.28 mm x 3.3 mm, making it just about half the size of the already-minuscule Taptic Engine from the iPhone 12 mini.

  • The last components in the net are a proximity sensor, a power and volume button cable, and one last interconnect cable.
