Title: Huawei P40 - Everything you need to know
1Huawei P40 Everything you need to know
2INTRODUCTION
- Huawei's P40 is the company's latest high-end
smartphone. 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 users expected them to. -
3FEATURES
- Huawei P40 smartphone runs on Android v10
operating system. The phone is powered by Octa
core (2.86 GHz, Dual core, Cortex A76 2.36 GHz,
Dual core, Cortex A76 1.95 GHz, Quad core,
Cortex A55) processor. It runs on the HiSilicon
Kirin 990 5G Chipset. It has 8 GB RAM and 128 GB
internal storage. - Huawei P40 smartphone has a OLED display. It
measures 148.9 mm x 71 mm x 8.5 mm and weighs 175
grams. The screen has a resolution of 1080 x 2340
pixels and 422 ppi pixel density. It has an
aspect ratio of 19.59 and screen-to-body ratio
of 86.21 . On camera front, the buyers get a 32
MP f/2.0 Primary Camera and on the rear, there's
an 50MP 16MP 8MP camera with features like 30
x Digital Zoom, Auto Flash, Face detection, Touch
to focus. It is backed by a 3800 mAh battery.
Connectivity features in the smartphone include
WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS, Volte, NFC and more.
4DISPLAY
- The P40 comes with all new Quad-Curve overflow
display. It doesnt feature a high refresh rate
display, instead, capping out at 60Hz. Theres no
official HDR badge here, though you do get a
perfectly respectable OLED panel with FHD 2340 x
1080 resolution. - Viewing angles are excellent, brightness is good
indoors and out. So out of that can be said the
P40s screen does a decent job day to day. But a
90Hz or 120Hz refresh rate display could have
been better.
5CAMERA
- The Huawei P40s primary camera features the
50MP Ultra Vision camera with an f/1.9 aperture
and a 23mm focal length, but the image
stabilization is electronic, Huawei terms it AIS.
- OIS is, however, found on the P40s telephoto
camera which delivers a 3x optical zoom, equating
to an 80mm focal length, and theres also a 16MP
ultra-wide camera with an f/2.2 aperture and a
17mm angle of view. - All three cameras deliver more detail and
arguably better results when shooting stills than
the competitors cameras. Thats a pretty huge
deal considering the P40s price range.
6DESIGN
- The innovative design upgrades your visual
entertainment and ergonomic comfort. At
6.1-inches, its easy enough to manage
one-handed, and the lack of curves means
accidental presses arent an issue. That said,
the phone is a well built one. - The curved glass back and buffed metal frame feel
great, while the flat screen is low on bezels,
but big on punch hole cameras, with a pill-shaped
dual selfie camera in the top left. - The P40s buttons are on the right, while all the
other points of interest are at the base a
mono-speaker, SIM card tray, and a USB-C port.
You can pick it up in three colours Deep Sea
Blue, Ice White and Black with all packing a
fingerprint-loving gloss finish.
7BATTERY
- The Huawei P40 packs a 3,800 mAh Li-Po battery.
It supports Huawei's first-generation Super
Charge rated at 22.5W. Naturally, the P40 is
bundled with the said charger. While the 22.5W
charging may not be the fastest around, it can
replenish the P40's battery from 0 to 60 in
just 30 minutes, while an hour of charging gets
you to 90. So, it's still competitively fast,
just not the fastest around.
8PERFORMANCE
- The Huawei P40 runs on the Kirin 990 5G chipset -
which has a bit faster processor than the regular
non-5G Kirin 990 chip we worked with on the Mate
30 Pro. Whether gaming, UI swiping or photo
editing, you just don't need to wait for
anything. The phones internal storage is either
128GB or 256GB, and it supports Huaweis Nano
Memory cards too. - With 5G data speeds, fast WiFi and NFC, a
responsive under-display fingerprint scanner and
fast face unlock, nothing major is missing here
when compared to pricier flagships.
9CONCLUSION
The P40 is a great affordable flagship phone in
most respects. It has the best camera available
at its price and its hardware and software come
together better than any user expected it to be.
With Huawei still ironing out its Google-free
offering, but its still the best in offering and
theres every chance that it could be the best
smartphone with an amazing camera at its price.
