TechAeris | Jason Bouwmeester

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.

Neowin | Rich Woods

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

... 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.

How HandsetExpert Works: We don't run ads on the site, or charge users to use the site. The site is funded using commission links, where we may receive a commission if a phone or tariff is purchased via HandsetExpert. Our editorial, phone scoring and recommendation system and deal-finding algorithms are not affected by this; we are fiercely committed to providing unbiased, independent information.

Important notes

  • We aim to compare as many tariffs in the marketplace from the UK as possible. However, we do not include every package (e.g. legacy tariffs no longer available, or tariffs only available to existing/specific customers), nor do we detail every aspect of every tariff (e.g. international out of bundle rates, on-network minutes, etc).
  • SIM Only deals do not include plans shorter than 30 days or Pay As You Go rates.
  • We work really hard to get accurate prices from as many providers as possible, but some deals or providers may not be included; if there’s anything we’ve missed then please get in touch and let us know.
  • Whenever we can, we will let you know if a deal is time limited (such as a flash deal), and when the deal expires.
  • For tariffs which offer "unlimited" allowances, there may be times where traffic management or fair usage policies apply.
  • Additional charges for payment methods other than direct debit and for itemised/paper billing may apply.
  • Data only SIM cards, mobile broadband packages, and pay monthly tablets are currently not included in the comparison.
  • Out of bundle charges are not included in the calculation of Average Monthly Cost.
  • Contracts may not be available for some phone models in all colours and/or sizes, and a small number may only be available either as a pay monthly contract or a contract free handset, but not both.
  • Providers may increase the cost of your contract by RPI (inflation). However, if prices are increased that then cause a materially detrimental impact, you have the right to exit your contract without penalty. More details available from Ofcom plus comparative information on customer service and complaints handling & their guide on how to complain.
  • Ofcom runs a voluntary accreditation scheme for digital comparison tools (DCTs) for telephone, broadband and pay-TV, and has confirmed that this DCT meets the criteria for accreditation. For further details about the scheme, including the criteria that DCTs must meet, visit the price comparison page on the Ofcom website.
