Hi I have this phone 2 years (got as a present) and I love it very much. GMS is not problem for me.
A Question if someone can assist....
What might be the reason that I do not have an eSim option in that phone? I see an IMEI, MEID but not an EID!. Nothing to give any option to set the eSim as demonstrated all arround. The phone is running HarmonyOS3. And I do not know where it was bought from (present). Its factory name is ANA-AN0. Thanks in advance

I had this phone for around two years now and it is still comfortable to hold compared to newer phones that are ever-growing in size. It is very easy to hold and use as it is so compact.
The screen size is just enough for me, it is good outdoors and can be dim enough for bedtime browsing. It is OLED so it has perfect blacks. 60Hrtz is fine, too, it saves up battery. The pill size cutout is negligible when gaming but can be noticeable when watching videos in landscape. I forgive it since it is used for IR-face scanning which works even in pitch-black environments as opposed to what GSMArena said in its review.
The cameras are hands-down great, it takes very good photos regardless of the situation. Oddly, it is better to use auto mode when taking pictures of dark or nighttime environments as it is much better, the night mode doesn't take better pictures. Sometimes you just need to toggle off the AI feature to keep it from switching between the cameras for a photo of something.
The speaker is not bad, it is loud but I have used other phones that can be louder, the haptics are nice, too.
Battery life is very good, after making sure to charge when 15-20 percent and unplug after reaching 80-85 percent, it still shows 95% on the maximum capacity in the settings app. The good thing is that it has some nice battery settings where you can disable app launches which does help.
I received and installed the latest security update dated July 2023. I'm not sure if they are going to work on upgrading the EMUI on this phone.
I used GBox to access Google Photos and Maps, Chrome can be installed directly to the phone, I used the built-in email app and logged my Google accounts and I haven't had issues with syncing emails, and I used Smart Launcher instead of its own launcher. It can be annoying for some but there is a way to use the apps that you need, if you know what you are doing, like syncing contacts and so on, there are many tutorials and videos online.
The best compact phone that I used so far, the small Zenfones are nice but this looks way better and more premium in my opinion.

Hi, almost all praise this mobile phone which is indeed very much right, great camera, hardware, screen, compact size, 5g, dual Sim with SD card all 3 to gather if esim is activated out of 2 physical Sim. Had this phone got Google play store, it would had surpassed lots of other mobiles. I am using it for almost over one year. No issues till todate. U can use Google apps through Third party but one still genuinely misses Google.
Any idea when P40 global is getting EMUI 13.

Nik, 08 Aug 2022One question for all, Huawei p40 or Huawei nova 9? P40 why?
Because nova 9 is a midrange
P40 is a flagship, someone says nova 9 is an overpriced midrange

This has to be one of the last, best phones from them in a compact form factor. Good main camera, decent rest of the cameras, front has 4k, and IR, flat screen, good performance, and best of all, the last generation of Kirin available to all, gonna exclude the mythical 9000 one cause its super rare

This phone has the capability to take great photos but it needs your expertise for it to take those great photos. Anything than that, it's just a phone with good dynamic range.
