Huawei P40 Pro

The Huawei P40 Pro is an outstanding phone from design and performance to (especially) the camera.

What Mobile | Paul Lipscombe

Overall the P40 Pro is an excellent phone. The camera is incredible and the general performance is brilliant, plus the P40 Pro just looks the part. But, and it's a huge but, it is significantly handicapped without Google services and that ultimately makes the phone a hard sell to consumers.

P40 Pro is another winner from Huawei. The rest of the market still can't touch the low-light performance of last year's P30 Pro, let alone this year's model. This company is light years ahead of its competition, setting standards in camera technology and design.

While the Huawei P40 Pro features powerful hardware and a great camera, the AppGallery currently cannot make up for the lack of Google services.

TheEffect.Net | John Reilly

The Huawei P40 Pro definitely has one of the best camera set ups available on the market right now. When it comes to software though, potential buyers really need to way up how important Google's apps are to their everyday lives and if they feel they could live without them.

Android Authority | Ryan-Thomas Shaw

For those who don't require Google services on their smartphone, this is one of the best devices on the market right now and I wholeheartedly recommend it. It's the handset to buy if you really want the best camera ever put into a smartphone.

Expert Reviews | Nathan Spendelow

The Huawei P40 Pro could very well stand up on its many merits – but as it stands I can't see many of these flying off the shelves, especially as Huawei expects you to pay top dollar for one.

Overall, the P40 Pro is a quick, responsive deviceand a great all-around choicefo your next phone.

PC Mag | Adam Smith

If Huawei can deliver on its promises of a useful maps app and an actual Play Store alternative, the P40 Pro will become a bit more appealing. But for now, it's largely just a technology showcase.

GadgetMatch | Rodniel Quiteles

Buying the P40 Pro means buying into whatever Huawei's going through. It's a commitment. And right now, they are going through a lot.

pocketnow | Anton Nagy

Is it worth buying? ... if you're the type of person who is not invested in the Google ecosystem, or are willing to put in a little bit of extra effort to make this phone really yours, user experience-wise, then definitely!

phoneArena | Daniel Petrov

Granted, a grand for a phone that makes you jump through hoops to set it as you would one with Google services preinstalled may seem a bit steep, but the hardware certainly makes up for it, and we are glad that Huawei keeps pushing everyone's envelope, as this is probably the most intriguing phone of the season.

Forbes | Ben Sin

The P40 Pro has the best battery life and most capable camera of any 2020 release so far. It also has my favorite in-hand feel of any phone ever. It's also surprisingly priced cheaper than what Samsung, Oppo, and Apple are asking for their best offerings right now.

AVForums | David Phelan

Huawei's latest is easily the most attractive phone the company has made and is one of the very best-looking designs from any manufacturer.

AndroidPit | Shu On Kwok

P40 Pro is once again very impressive in terms of hardware. But using it in everyday life shows that Huawei is still in its infancy in terms of software and ecosystem.

Trusted Reviews | Basil Kronfli

Fantastic hardware meets challenged software; the P40 Pro is the best camera phone you can get and the phone's design is beautiful. Despite some elegant software highlights too, however, the limitations when it comes to Google will likely turn many off.

Digital Trends | Andy Boxall

The Huawei P40 Pro has the best camera in the business, but many will find getting the apps they need quite difficult.

Mobile Syrup | Dean Daley

Huawei's P40 Pro is one of the best smartphones on the market, and I enjoyed every moment I spent using it.

T3 | Robert Jones

The hardware and operating system delivered with the P40 Pro remains truly top rate and, for tech enthusiasts who don't mind doing a little tinkering to get the handset up and running with (most) of the apps they're used to, it is a very well equipped flagship phone.

Pickr | Leigh Stark

It's just next to impossible to recommend the Huawei P40 Pro simply because of how awkward its real-world usability is.

The Verge | Sam Byford

... if you do happen to live in China where Google's services are irrelevant, it's a top-tier flagship experience.

PCWorld | Fergus Halliday

The Mate 30 Pro was the phone with the camera so good it was almost worth considering leaving the Google ecosystem to have but the P40 Pro can't even manage that.
