Huawei Mate 40 Pro


The Huawei Mate 40 Pro is ready to start rolling out across Europe later this month and the launch in Russia is paired with a pretty aggressive deal – the phone will cost RUB 90,000 during the pre-order period between November 10 and 19th and it comes with a free pair of FreeBuds Pro. To put things in perspective, the Russian price works out to around € 970, well below the € 1,200 price tag in mainland Europe. And that TWS headset costs € 180 in Germany, so it’s not a small perk.

Speaking of Germany, the Mate 40 Pro does cost € 1,200 there and will start shipping on the 13th. There’s a pre-order deal for it too, a free Huawei Sound X. That’s a € 350 smart speaker, which was co-developed with French audio firm Devialet.

Brits are also getting the Sound X if they pre-order the phone at £ 1,100. Huawei will start sending out the first units on the 13th. In France, the deal is FreeBuds Pro plus a wallet case for the phone as freebies (shipping starts November 12). The price in Italy is a tad higher, € 1,220 after a € 30 coupon, and you can also get the FreeBuds Pro, though without the case (the Black model is already shipping, the Silver one is coming in 3 days).
