Critic consensus
“If we were to judge it by pretending that the Google software situation mess isn't a thing, the P40 Pro would definitely be among the best phones of the year so far. However, in reality we can't just ignore that, so we're going to qualify that remark: it is hands down one of the best phones of the year so far, if you can live with the added complications around the software.”
“The Huawei P40 Pro is the right kind of a flagship - it offers cutting-edge tech across the board. The OLED screen is both high-resolution and with a high refresh rate, the performance is brilliant and yet won't suffer from throttling from heating, and then the battery is relatively large and very fast to recharge. Photography is what the P40 Pro is all about, and the phone excels in that even if there were some hiccups along the way.”
“While the Huawei P40 Pro features powerful hardware and a great camera, the AppGallery currently cannot make up for the lack of Google services. Although the Huawei P40 Pro is definitely a contender for being one of the best smartphones on the market, the lack of many apps as well as Google integration means that less-advanced users in particular may struggle when trying to access popular apps.”
“Weighing up whether to buy the Huawei P40 Pro boils down to if you need or want Google’s app ecosystem. If you can live with mapping, email, and cloud storage alternatives, as well as workarounds to install popular games and social media platforms, then the P40 Pro is still worth a look. Especially if you’re after one of the best smartphone camera packages.”
