Huawei P40, latest flagship release from Huawei together with P40 Pro. The looks are much more traditional with its flat sheet of glass on the surface. The phone packs a pre-fitted screen protector, a hefty dual-camera punch hole in the top left of the display, and buffed, curved metal around the sides, top and bottom. It’s a good-looking phone that feels premium. The power button and volume keys are on the right side of the phone, while the bottom houses the USB Type-C port and the single downward-firing speaker. The dual nanoSIM tray is also located here, and can also be used to expand storage with Huawei’s proprietary Nano Memory cards. The 6.1-inch display on the Huawei P40 has a resolution of 1080 x 2340, making it Wide Full HD.

The Huawei P40 Pro is powered by the same Kirin 990 5G chipset which is the only high-end chipset with integrated 5G, meaning it will work well with the dedicated 5G networks of the future, as well as with the current hybrid LTE/5G networks. In terms of camera, the Huawei P40’s Leica-branded camera setup consists of a 50MP f/1.9 primary camera, a 16MP f/2.2 ultra-wide camera, and an 8MP f/2.4 telephoto camera that’s capable of 3x optical zoom, just like the Galaxy S20 and Galaxy S20 Plus. Using pixel binning (whereby four of the sensor's pixels are combined into one ‘superpixel’), the phone's main sensor can take 12MP shots that deliver improved low light performance over traditional 12MP camera phones. With the P40-series, Huawei is debuting its XD Fusion Engine, which uses AI to optimize your photos. The phone can remove photo-bombing friends from a picture, and even reflections that appear when you’re trying to photograph anything that's behind glass. An oblong cut-out on the front of the screen houses a 32MP camera sensor and a depth sensor. Packing autofocus, unlike most selfie cameras, the whole P40-series is built for self-portraits.

For software, P40 runs Android 10, with EMUI 10.1 over the top. Given the power inside, there will be no lag when scrolling through apps or settings, or switching between them. The Huawei P40 is also equipped with a 3,800mAh battery, which should last you a full day of moderate to heavy usage. It also supports 22.5W fast wired charging.
