Huawei P40

The P40 is a great bit of the kit that, although missing out on some of the high-end features of the Pro and Pro+ variants, can still take on most 2020 flagships in terms of photography and raw performance. Whether that makes up for the lack of Google Play is another story altogether, but that’ll depend on just how tech-savvy you are.

The Huawei P40 is a premium high-end smartphone that forces users to compromise due to the lack of Google services.

El P40 es el pequeño de los tres modelos presentados. A pesar de perderse ciertas características de gama alta de las variantes P40 Pro y Pro+, aún puede presumir de formar parte de esta nueva serie buque insignia de Huawei para el año 2020.  Al menos es lo que hemos comprobado en términos de fotografía y rendimiento bruto. Si esto compensa la ausencia de los servicios de Google Play, dependerá de lo experto que seas en tecnología y tus conocimientos para emplear programas alternativos.

The Huawei P40's hardware is as great as the last few generations of the company's flagship phones, but there are limitations. You don't get wireless charging or a high refresh rate screen by opting for the P40, which a lot of other phones around this price offer. The biggest restriction continues to be the lack of Google Mobile Services that hampers this device as you don't have access to some of the most popular Android applications and services.

The P40 is a great affordable flagship phone in most respects. It has the best camera available at its price, outperforming the pricier iPhone 11 when it comes to versatility in particular, and its hardware and software come together better than we expected them to.
