Like most smartphones, the Mate 40 Pro motherboard has a whole bunch of flex and antenna cable friends at this party, most of them inconveniently blocking our way to the silicon bar.

With the help of a full squad of spudgers and tweezers we plow through the crew, stumbling over the selfie cam halfway through:

13 MP, ƒ/2.4, ultrawide (18 mm), Sony IMX688 sensor (1.22 µm individual pixel size)

This is the first time we've seen an ultrawide angle lens in the selfie cam set-up of a Huawei phone. That means both front and rear cameras have up to 100° fields of view—just wide enough to include all those friends you haven't seen for months.

2 MP ToF camera for 3D depth and biometrics

If you're into high-res selfie videos, the Mate 40 Pro can shoot 4k HDR video with that 13 MP sensor. Not bad, Mate.
