All the words that can now be used at the beginning of the Honor article, are reduced to the "Former Huawei Substrend ...". But you need to get used to new realities. Now we live in the world in which Honor is an independent brand and in which Huawei is still unsuccessfully trying to "give" sanctions. It is in this world that the world saw the first independent smartphone Honor - Honor View 40. It is interesting in the first place that it should not be treated under sanctions, and therefore it should get full freedom to choose the operating system, processor and the use of Google services. Looking ahead, I will say what happened in general is not bad, but the result is still a bit strange. Let's deal with.
First Honor Smartphone
It can be said that the renunciation of Huawei is for Honor a great blessing, and now the company is free not only in decision-making and how it will dispose of its smartphones. It sounds beautiful, but forget that, together with Huawei, the company lost a strong patron, who shared technologies and developments with it, is also not worth it. Now Honor will have to make smartphones itself and not to hope for the help of the "older brother". At least for now.
Honor allowed to release smartphones with updating Android and Google services
Despite this, Honor V40 is a smartphone, which was developed as part of the telecommunications giant. The department occurred only at the end of last year and in such a short time it is simply impossible to make an independent smartphone. From this we conclude that Honor V40 is still essentially a Huawei product. Perhaps that is why he will remain the best in the line in the coming years.
Than Honor V40 looks like Huawei
First of all, the Honor and Huawei relationship when creating the V40 can say that the new smartphone is very similar to the previous Honor models and on modern Huawei models. Similarities goes beyond the boundaries of ordinary coincidences and the general similarity of smartphones.The phone has an oval cutout with a double camera, like P40 Pro, and the camera module is located in the upper left corner. However, features that allow you to distinguish the novelty from Honor V30, more than enough.

Honor V40 characteristics
If we talk about the characteristics of the device, it received a 6.72-inch OLED display, with roundings and the frequency of the upgrade 120 Hz. The work of the sensor and achieves at all - both indicators are better than the current Huawei products. The 10-bit panel also supports HDR10, and dual speakers must improve the impressions of watching video and games.
Honor V40 will not work on KIRIN processors. Instead, the MediaTek Dimensity 1000 Plus chips with 8 GB of RAM and 128 or 256 GB of integrated memory found their application. All this is powered by a battery with a capacity of 4000 mAh, which can be replenished using a wired charging of 66 W or wireless charging 50 W.
Honor V40 camera
The main camera of the smartphone is immediately visible. It is located on the rear wall inside the impressive window. The sensor size is 1/1.56 inches, its 50 megapixel resolution, and pixels represent the traditional RyYB scheme for the brand.The remaining chambers in the module are more modest. We have 8 megapixel superwatch and 2 megapixel maccam. The maximum resolution of snapshots on the front is only 16 megapixel.

It also remains unclear whether the phone will be supplied with Google Mobile Services if he sees a wider launch. Even despite the breaking of relationships with Huawei and selling a brand to third-party investors, it is impossible to say that he can immediately apply for the services of any company. At least it is too early to talk about it at this stage of the company's development, especially considering that the smartphone is still essentially a Huawei product, and not a third-party solution.
