Hi Huawei Lovers...
Does anyone know how to change from EMUI to HARMONY? Does anyone have experience it before? If so, please let me know in details. Is it better using EMUI 12, or Harmony OS?
Thanks so much.

I looked it up and it is still based on Android 10 though... That's kind of a bummer, seeing as this year we will see the release of Android 13. But with all tge regular security patches and how it performs, I don't mind the android version. Android since version 10 is already pretty finished, nothing new is actually added now.

As for browser, the built-in browser is perfect, or u can download chrome, but again, no sign in is allowed.
If you really want google apps, then download Gspace, or Dualspace.. these apps works flawlessly. im using gspace and so far, no complaints at all.. perfecto..

Guys.. i got this phone and if you want google apps, jus head down and down Gspace.. or even Dualspace. it will automatically install playstore and u can have a fully functional google apps on ur Mate 40 pro. No issues at all. only thing is that the apps installed from these places will open slightly slower as it will first open gspace, and then the app. As of now, all the apps on my phone (on gspace) works flawlessly..
Also, if you have any apps that require google sign-in, it will not work, as the phone doesn't have GMS, but if you login thru gspace, then viola, works flawlessly. so if you guys are thinking that the apps are keeping you from not buying the phone, think again. u will get fully functional google apps phone with this. Im loving it...

Hello, I thought I should do a personal review of this phone, as I ordered it last week and came 3 days ago. Here are a few of my thoughts:
I had this unit for 3 days now and so far so good, the Google problem doesn't affect me (I use the App Gallery and I downloaded the APKPure app store which has everything I want and brings regular updades), all my necessary apps are on my phone now.
The battery life seems decent, lasts me 1 to 1,5 days, depending on the use (I use my phone with the max resolution and always 90 Hz screen refresh). For example I charged it to 80% yesterday at 22:00 and it's at 57% today at 14:00. It's obviously not a battery champion, but it lasts enough and it charges really fast (~ 40 min to full). My wife has the iPhone 13 pro max, and I wouldn't change this Huawei for that one ever, even though the 13 pro max has incredible battery life, it charges soooo slowly.
Regarding the design: the phone looks and feels INCREDIBLE! I had so many people asking me what phone this is ajd complimented it for how fancy and futuristic it looks (i have the black one and put an orange leather case on it from Amazon, the combination of orange and black is pure awesomeness). Ok, back to the design. Regarding the question of the screen curvature, it has been a pleasure to use with absolutely 0 touch issues. U can literally hold it any way u want and it won't mistouch. There is a slight green tint at the extreme edges where the glass curves (but that is just how physics work, not the displays fault), but I find it adds character and I love to use something that breaks out of the ordinary boring phone designs. I find the colors not as vibrant and saturated as other phones from Samsung or Xiaomi, it tends to look more like the iPhones screen with more natural colors that are easy on the eye. Although when you look at photos or videos they are simply stunning, specially when you tilt it and see the curves
