The Honor X40 series will be announced on September 15th and today the company revealed an important detail about one of the phones in the range. Next Thursday we will see an Honor X40 with a 10-bit OLED panel with curved sides, which will be the first in the 9-year history of the X series.

The top features an IR blaster next to the noise-canceling microphone as Honor positions the smartphone as the primary device in its cross-platform ecosystem. The back design isn’t a surprise either – the company sticks to the Honor X9 and X30-style circular island.

What we find disturbing is that there are only two cameras with an LED flash and they are all placed in the outer ring. This means that the center is reserved for a sign that says “Matrix AI camera” but, more importantly, dual camera setups are becoming more and more weird from an aesthetic point of view.

We remember the times of Honor 6X and Honor 7X when the main and depth shooter were next to each other, but today the sensors are on both ends, reimagining the entire internal design of the smartphone for the sake of design.
