Huawei Mate 40 Pro Camera Review

The Huawei Mate 40 Pro camera is by all technical measures a very potent image capture system. As an evolution of the proven P40 Pro and P40 Pro+...

Most powerful camera hardware ; Huge progress in color capture ; Excellent night photo

Expensive handset

The Huawei Mate 40 Pro has a fantastic camera system that brings a much-needed boost in what we previously considered as Huawei’s camera’s Achilles heel: the colors.

Huawei Mate 40 Pro, hands on: An excellent 5G flagship, but Google is still overboard Review | ZDNet

The Mate 40 Pro is well designed and built, has a great OLED screen and excellent cameras, delivers good battery life, and there are some nice features in EMUI 11. But it's hard to recommend without Google apps and services.

Huawei Mate 40 Pro review: an excellent flagship

Still deprived of Google services, the Huawei Mate 40 Pro that I reviewed for NextPit is a great smartphone and has no weaknesses.

Very nice OLED display with 90 Hz refresh rate ; Fantastic design ; Best camera modules on the market ; Solid battery life ; 65 W fast charge support ; Wireless and reverse charging ; Kirin 9000 chipset ; Big improvements on EMUI 11 ; IP68 rating

Does not feel complete without Google services ; Expensive considering Europe does not carry the basic model ; Missing the 3.5 mm audio jack ; Throttling hinders performance to manage overheating

As you can see, I'm not going to juggle with uncertainty, "maybes", "ifs" and other rhetorical terms to tell you that the Huawei Mate 40 Pro is an excellent high-end smartphone in more ways than one. But it really is a shame that it doesn't include...

Huawei Mate 40 Pro review

The Huawei Mate 40 Pro could be a world-beater, thanks to an amazing chipset and highly competent cameras. But without a familiar way to install apps, the Mate 40 Pro has limited appeal.

It's taking Huawei some concerted effort, but the phone maker has shown that it can still play in a highly competitive phones market even with a significant Google-shaped chink in its armor. If the U.S. government's trade ban lifts any time soon (and...

Huawei Mate 40 Pro review

The best camera phone ever? The Huawei Mate 40 Pro sets a new benchmark – but is still a smartphone that most will avoid

Best-in-class low light photography ; Excellent 5x optical zoom ; Stable, low-noise video

No Google Mobile Serivces ; Erratic automatic camera switching ; Can get warm while gaming

We’re left with very few quibbles when it comes to the Huawei Mate 40 Pro’s camera - it’s exceptional across photography and video capture, beating out competition from Apple, Google, and Samsung. There are still software limitations around Google...
