Huawei P40 Pro+

The Huawei P40, Huawei P40 Pro, and Huawei P40 Pro+ are high-end Android-based

smartphones manufactured by Huawei.[1][2] Unveiled on 26 March 2020, they succeed
the Huawei P30 in the company's P series line.[3][4]

Design[edit]
The P40 and P40 Pro are constructed with anodized aluminum for the frame, while the
back uses Gorilla Glass. The P40 Pro+ uses ceramic for both the frame and the back. The
display is flat on the P40 or curved on all sides on the P40 Pro and P40 Pro+; Huawei calls
this a Quad-Curve Overflow Display. The top left corner of the display has a pill-shaped
cutout for the front-facing camera and ambient/proximity sensors; it also accommodates
the infrared face unlock system on the P40 Pro and P40 Pro+. As on the P30 Pro, the P40
Pro and P40 Pro+ replace the traditional earpiece speaker with an "electromagnetic
levitation" speaker that vibrates the top of the phone's screen, and have an IR blaster on
the top edge. The 3.5mm audio jack has also been omitted on all models. A rectangular
module houses the rear cameras, which protrudes slightly from the back panel. The P40
and P40 Pro is available in Silver Frost, Blush Gold, Deep Sea Blue, Ice White and Black,
while the P40 Pro+ is available in Ceramic White or Ceramic Black.

Specifications[edit]
Hardware[edit]
The P40 series is powered by the HiSilicon Kirin 990 5G processor, meaning that all
models will have 5G connectivity standard. However, only "sub-6" 5G is available, meaning
the P40 series is not compatible with ultra-fast millimeter-wave (mmWave) networks. The
Kirin 990 5G is assisted by the Mali-G76 MP16 GPU. The P40's display is carried over
from the P30, a 6.1" (154.94mm) 19.5:9 1080p (1080 × 2340) OLED with a 60 Hz refresh
rate. The P40 Pro and P40 Pro+ use a larger 6.58" (167.13mm) 19.8:9 OLED with an
unorthodox resolution (1200 × 2640) and a 90Hz refresh rate, as well as support
for HDR10 and DCI-P3. The P40 has 6 or 8 GB of LPDDR4X RAM, while the P40 Pro &
P40 Pro+ have 8 GB of LPDDR4X RAM. All models have UFS 3.0: the P40 has 128 or 256
GB, the P40 Pro has 128, 256 or 512 GB and the P40 Pro+ has 256 or 512 GB. Expansion
is supported up to 256 GB via Huawei's proprietary Nano Memory card. In addition to the
infrared face unlock system, all P40 models have an optical (under-screen) fingerprint
sensor; Huawei claims the sensor is 30% larger and faster than the P30's. The P40 uses a
3800mAh battery, while the P40 Pro and P40 Pro+ use a larger 4200mAh battery. Fast
charging is supported on all models, however the P40 does not support wireless charging.
The P40 can charge wired up to 22.5W while the P40 Pro and P40 Pro+ have a max rate
of 40W. Both the P40 and P40 Pro are also capable of reverse wireless charging at 27W,
but the P40 Pro+ can charge faster wirelessly at 40W whereas the P40 Pro can only
charge wirelessly at 27W. Additionally, the P40 has an IP53 rating while the P40 Pro and
P40 Pro+ have an IP68 rating.
Camera[edit]
The Huawei P40 series features Leica optics, and the wide lens on all models is a new
"Ultra Vision" 50 MP sensor. Like the P30, the wide lens uses a "SuperSpectrum" image
sensor, whose color filter array uses yellow sub-pixels instead of green. Huawei stated that
this would allow more light to be captured, and enhanced absorption of red and green
colors. The P40's rear camera array consists of a 50 MP wide lens, a 16 MP ultrawide lens
and an 8 MP telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom. The P40 Pro increases the resolution of
the ultrawide sensor to 40 MP, replaces the standard telephoto lens with a 12 MP
periscope sensor capable of 5x optical zoom, and adds a time-of-flight sensor. The P40
Pro+ has two 8 MP telephoto lenses, a standard sensor with 3x optical zoom and a
periscope sensor with 10x optical zoom while retaining the time-of-flight sensor. The front-
facing camera uses a 32 MP sensor which has autofocus on the P40 Pro and P40 Pro+; an
additional depth sensor allows for the face unlock. For both photo and video, pixel binning
is used for improved low-light sensitivity, and video can be captured from the wide-angle
and telephoto sensors simultaneously with directional audio computed from three
omnidirectional microphones. The cameras benefit from an XD Fusion Image Engine which
enables advanced computational photography, as well as an "Octa" phase-detection
autofocus system for faster autofocus and improved white balance sensors on the P40
Pro+. The software is also improved with a new Golden Snap feature that takes a burst of
HDR+ photos and automatically picks the best shots. A Profoto studio light will be available
as an accessory as well.
Software[edit]
The P40 series ships with EMUI 10.1, which is based on the Android 10 source code. Due
to the ongoing United States sanctions against Huawei, international models of the P40 will
not ship with or support Google Mobile Services — the proprietary software suite
(including Google Play-branded software) shipped on certified Android devices, and
Huawei is not allowed to market the device using the Android trademark.[5]
The P40 series support Huawei Mobile Services uses Huawei AppGallery as its main app
store. Furthermore, a new app known as Petal Search was introduced, which includes web
search via France-based Qwant and Russia-based Yandex, as well as the ability to search
for third-party apps via other Android app stores and APK mirroring websites.[6] The P40
series introduces a new in-house voice assistant, Celia, in selected markets, which also
includes integration with the device's AI Lens features. [7]

Reception[edit]
The P40 Pro gets a Photo score of 140 points and a best Video score of 105 points
from DXOMARK.[8]
