Huawei Mate 40 Pro, Mate 40E and Mate X2 4G: Huawei’s new high-end are the same as their 5G brothers, but without 5G

If the Huawei P40 5G got a 4G brother and the P30 Pro and P30 Lite were succeeded by the P30 Pro and P30 Lite New Edition, now it is the turn of the latest smartphones of the company. And it is that Huawei has launched in China, again, the Mate 40 Pro, Mate 40E and Mate X2 (the last folding). The data sheet is exactly the same, except for one nuance: they are not compatible with 5G networks, they are only compatible with 4G networks.
