Huawei P40 Pro

What the critics say (scores are out of 100)

93	TechAeris | Jason Bouwmeester The Huawei P40 Pro is an outstanding phone from design and performance to (especially) the camera. Read full review
92	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. Read full review
90	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. Read full review
89	NotebookCheck | Daniel Schmidt While the Huawei P40 Pro features powerful hardware and a great camera, the AppGallery currently cannot make up for the lack of Google services. Read full review
88	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. Read full review
88	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. Read full review
80	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. Read full review
80	Toronto Sun | Adam Swimmer Overall, the P40 Pro is a quick, responsive deviceand a great all-around choicefo your next phone. Read full review
80	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. Read full review
80	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. Read full review
80	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! Read full review
80	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.

80	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. Read full review
80	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. Read full review
70	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. Read full review
70	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. Read full review
70	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. Read full review
65	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. Read full review
60	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. Read full review
50	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. Read full review
50	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. Read full review
40	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. Read full review
