Forget the trade war with Trump, forget the lack of Google apps, forget the impact of Covid-19: Huawei is carrying on like nothing’s happened, and in the P40 Pro it’s delivered a powerhouse phone that ploughs its own path.
Working glass hero Wrapped in glass and metal, the P40 Pro has a 90Hz 6.58in Quad HD+ OLED display. It’s edge-to-edge, includes an in-display fingerprint sensor and has a 32MP punch-hole selfie-cam. Round the back there’s a rectangular camera unit that protrudes a bit but should sit flush with a case.
All of the light Leica is back on lens duty, but Huawei has turned its focus from zooming to low light: the 1/1.28in 50MP unit matches many ‘real’ cameras and is designed for maximum light intake, higher dynamic range and lower noise. You also get a 12MP 5x telephoto, a 40MP ultra-wide and a ToF sensor for depth. Everything is supported by a high-definition engine with oodles of AI and neural processing to assist with image stacking and sharpness.
If you Celia, say hello The Pro packs the most powerful phone processor on the planet: the Kirin 990 5G. You also get Wi-Fi 6 for lightning-fast internet speeds, a 3800mAh battery with 40W fast charging, and Huawei’s EMUI 10.1 user interface with Celia, its answer to Google Assistant.
