News & Reviews:   Huawei P40 review

Based on a statement by @RODENT950 on Twitter, it seems that Huawei’s upcoming P40 series could be priced cheaper, due to the fact that it does not come with Google Mobile Services. The tweet also mentioned that we can expect the aforementioned smartphone series, could be priced anywhere between RMB3599(~RM2116) to RMB6599(~RM3881).

Other than those new devices from the Samsung Galaxy S20 series, Huawei P40 series is also a highly anticipated smartphone series that we can’t wait to see in 2020. Earlier, the render of the P40 has surfaced on the internet, it revealed pill-shaped cutout for front cameras and a camera block at the back of the device. Now, different colours of the devices have been spotted in a new leak as well.

Last week, renders were spotted from Onleaks which gave us a clear picture of the design of the Huawei P40 and P40 Pro. Today, a render shows the P40 Pro design that is housing a Penta camera setup on the rear which has a similar design like the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S20 series. 

Based on a statement by analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, Huawei’s upcoming P40 series will most likely be the world’s first smartphone to come equipped with 10x optical zoom. Not only that, but it seems that the aforementioned smartphone series is expected to come with a “never-before-seen” design as well as four curved edges.

Recently, a bunch of images has been spotted on 91mobiles.com showcasing what could be the final design of the Huawei P40, as well as the P40 Pro smartphone. Based on the images, the Huawei P40 seems to come equipped with a flat 6.1-inch display while the Pro variant is will have the familiar 6.5-inch curved screen display found on the P30 Pro.

It seems that a bunch of images related to the Huawei P40 series has been leaked, which showcases the overall design of the upcoming smartphone. The images hint that the Huawei P40 series will come with a display with nearly 100% screen-to-body ratio, similar to that of the Huawei Mate 30 Pro.

A Twitter user by the name of @RODENT950, has recently tweeted stating that the Huawei P40 series could come with a 64MP main camera and up to 5 rear cameras. But that’s not all, the aforementioned device will also come with the ability to dual boot into either HarmonyOS or Google’s AndroidOS.

Huawei in partnership with Tencent, has conducted tests alongside smartphone vendors such as OPPO and VIVO, and has concluded that the upcoming HongMeng/Ark/Oak OS is about 60% faster, as compared to the Google Android OS based on results. While not much was known regarding the specifics of the tests, Huawei has been hard at work to accelerate the development of their very own operating system in the effort of reducing their reliance on US-made hardware and software.
