Summary

With the P40 series, Huawei is innovating again by introducing the largest camera sensor in a modern phone, the longest optical zoom, wireless charging as fast as wired, and a rich number of 5G bands in the most compact package for its 6.6″ display size. The best part – it all works as advertised.

Since the P40 Pro sports a beautiful quad-curve waterfall screen that wraps around not only the sides, but also the top and bottom of the device – Huawei calls it Overflow Display – the handset achieves a top screen-to-body ratio, and stuffs a 6.6″ panel in the most compact body. Don’t be fooled, though, the curve effect at the top and bottom is minimal for the screen, and more for the cover glass on top, while there is still a border there, bending or not.

The unprecedented push into camera research and development certainly showed in Huawei’s previous two flagship generations, and the P40 Pro is now the apex of this effort, especially in the hard-to-master night time and zoom photography, not to mention the front camera virtues.

The biggest star of the P40 Pro show, however, is literally the largest the largest, 1/1.28″ camera sensor ever placed in a modern phone, lest we forget the PureView 808 with its 1/1.2″ piece way back when. Not only does the unorthodox RYYB pixel arrangement help with low-light sensitivity, but the sheer size of the sensor’s pixels soaks in 40% more photons than before, says Huawei.

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
We love the matte Silver Frost chameleon shimmer of our P40 Pro unit. This may sound like an oxymoron, but Huawei pulled it off, and it looks sober and classy. There is a clear case in the box so you don’t lose much of the stunning looks while protecting the phone from drops and scuffs, and the phone is water-resistant at up to ten feet in depth.

There is no denying that Huawei pulled out the big guns with the P40 Pro models. The rumors about a record 10x periscope zoom materialized for the P40 Pro+, but the Pro is also outfitted with one at 5x optical and 10x lossless hybrid magnification which performs wonders as you will see in the samples below. In particular, the 10x hybrid zoom that also uses information from the main sensor, is breathtakingly detailed and clear, just look at the clock tower, or the theater facade.
