Huawei’s Mate 40 is the first smartphone that enables a hardware wallet for China’s digital yuan

Huawei, the second-largest mobile marker in the world has announced that its forthcoming Mate40 smartphone series will include an integrated hardware wallet for China’s central bank digital currency, the digital yuan.

The Mate 40 was announced in October and will be the latest flagship from Huawei, along with the Pro and Pro Plus models, according to TechRadar.

The Mate40 is the first Huawei smartphone to utilize 5nm chip technology, as recently debuted on Apple’s iPhone 12. The technology allows billions more transistors to be packed onto a single chip, significantly increasing the potential power.

China’s digital yuan is reportedly already in the testing stages, as several countries vie to be the first to launch a CBDC.
