Huawei
P40 5G

The Ultra Vision Leica triple camera on the Huawei P40 has a primary 50MP lens with an ultra-sensitive sensor that takes in huge amounts of light for increased brightness and exceptional clarity. The sensor blends four pixels into one for 45% better colour accuracy and precision, especially in low light, to reduce image noise for sharper results.

The Huawei P40 also has an 8MP telephoto lens that offers a 3x optical zoom through to 30x digital zoom. And it doesn’t stop there. A third 16MP ultra-wide lens is on hand to capture full landscapes or tiny, up-close details in 2.5cm macro photos.

Selfies certainly haven’t been forgotten, not with a high-resolution 32MP portrait camera on board. Intelligent light adjustments make your selfies look natural, no matter what time of day you shoot. Two new features include Huawei Golden Snap AI and Gallery Edit. The first takes a moving picture and recommends up to three of the best results. The second feature allows you to remove reflections and clean up the background by removing passers-by. No more photo bombs.

It’s a high-quality 6.1-inch OLED display with a Full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2340 pixels, which is plenty for enjoying photos, videos and apps in super crisp colour and detail.

Huawei P40 is designed with a premium matte finish on the outside and a powerful 5G Kirin 990 chipset on the inside. The chip produces fluid graphics and enables you to live stream in fantastic 4K quality, while also retaining high energy efficiency so your battery doesn’t bail on you.

WiFi 6 Plus is a great feature when you’re in the comfort of your home, better penetrating floors and walls for a more reliable WiFi connection. What else? The P40 5G runs Huawei’s EMUI 10.1, which is based on Android 10 and includes Celia, an assistant that can reply to your messages, control your music, and help you shop online, all through voice commands.

The phone is unlocked with a fingerprint or a smile, using Face Unlock, which now works even in dark environments. The Face Unlock camera also cleverly detects if someone is trying to look at your private notifications, and instantly hides them. You can download new apps onto this splash-resistant phone from the world's third-largest app store, Huawei AppGallery.

Note, Huawei P40 does not support Google Play Store apps and services.

The Huawei P40 has a 3800 mAh capacity battery, and AI allocates resources to ensure you get through a full day. You can boost your charging speeds by purchasing the Huawei SuperCharge wired or wireless charger separately.

To begin, you should use Huawei’s Clone Phone app to transfer over apps that you have on your old phone. You can bring over all sorts of apps, including WhatsApp, Instagram, Spotify and Facebook. You should visit the Huawei AppGallery to download other apps.

You can use the browser version of applications such as Gmail or YouTube. You can also find apps in the third-party app market.

The Huawei P40 does not have Google apps, and instead, has a set of bespoke apps made by Huawei. Huawei apps include Huawei Cloud and the fast Huawei Browser.

Apps in the Huawei AppGallery are protected behind four-layer security to ensure the apps and your data remain safe. Runltime defence protects you from any possible malicious behaviour.

Many of the same features exist on both Huawei phones. The primary camera and selfie camera on both have the same resolution. The telephoto and ultra-wide cameras have a lower resolution on the Huawei P40.

If you want to save money, you should opt for the Huawei P40. The Huawei P40 reduces cost by having a slightly smaller screen and battery, as well as a slightly lower resolution on the ultra-wide and telephoto camera lenses.
