Huawei will unveil its Mate 40 series on October 22.

The Chinese tech giant announced on Twitter that their next line of smartphones, which will likely be the last to come with their Kirin chips, will be revealed next week.

Richard Yu, CEO of Huawei’s Consumer Business Unit, had said over summer that “this year may be the last generation of Huawei Kirin high-end chips.”

It comes after US President Donald Trump extended the US' ban on Huawei for 12 months.

The Chinese tech firm was handed a 45-day reprieve licence by the US Commerce Department in February.
