Huawei P40 Pro at a glance

At first glance, the P40 Pro provides everything you could possibly want from a high-end smartphone. It looks slick and boasts some of the best cameras on smartphone to date.
Downside is, while the device does come with Google’s Android 10 operating system, you won’t be able to get any Google services. That means no access to Google maps or the Google Play store.
To offset this, Huawei has added Huawei Home Services, which uses TomTom in place of Google maps. The Chinese tech giant has also added its own version of the Google Store. However, the amount of popular apps available is limited right now.
Huawei P40 Pro design and screen
Notably, the Huawei P40 Pro boasts a slick, curved glass display – including curved edges at the top and bottom of the device. To some, the phone’s thin bezels might look outdated. But to us, the phone looks slick.
Impressively, the P40 Pro’s excellent 6.8 inch OLED screen is perfect for watching film and movies.
Huawei P40 Pro battery
The P40 Pros huge battery comes in at 4,200mAh which should last a full day, depending on how you use your phone.
In addition, the phone boasts 40W wireless charging – which should charge the phone from zero to full power in as little as one hour.
