The huge curved edge screen + no volume rocker is a big letdown on Mate 30 Pro.
But lets not forget Mate 30 Pro advantage are better UWA camera + 7680fps slow-mo, IP68, IR blaster, faster charging + wireless charging & a more point & shoot camera like rear design...

In my country the P40 & Mate 30 Pro are almost at the same price. Which one is better? I like the design of the Mate 30 Pro, is it a good decision to go for it or the P40?

Steve, 12 Apr 2020You can get almost the same specs on the Xiaomi Mi 9 SE. for 1/3 of the price. Is the P40 wort... moreI have a Mi 9 SE in front of me. I think the P40 is overall, better, but there are some trade-offs. Huawei doesn't allow bootloader unlocking so you'll pretty much never ever get a custom rom on this. The P40 does have considerably better cameras, a significantly faster SoC and the ToF for face unlock. From a hardware aspect it's considerably better, but the software side is lacking if you want Google or custom roms. Or both. 🤔

Liv, 26 Mar 2020Not much of a difference compare to p30 spec except it has 5g now. It has the ToF sensor for secure face unlock and the cameras are better. The design is also a lot nicer IMO.

I've been using mine for over a month. Got it for $400 brand new and it's a great deal. Most things have been said but here are a few of my tips:
- there is a mistake in GSMarena specs, there is no OIS on main camera. You can check out by yourself and on huwei page
- i was worried ab battery life, but after flashing the latest update and hard reset, debloat unnecessary apps, i can achieve up to 10h SOT. That's n excellent result.
-cameras are stunning. Didn't get to play a lot with ultra wide tho
- using aurora store you can now have almost all apps you want, no more restrictions
- screen is not the greatest , it's good but my $350 xiaomi mi 9t from 2019 has a better screen. This one can show green tint under angles and the colors are not the most vibrant
- I'm not sure the back is made from glass. There is no mention of tht on huawei page , some reviews say it's gorilla glass on the back but it does feel cheap and plastic-like.
Overall, it's a great purchase

Bad News: EMUI 11.0.0 Bug. No Google Services (I wouldn't mind about it) Good News: Better camera. Big Storage capacity. High end processor. Fastest Network 5G (4G,3G,2G). Good screen quality. 4k@30/60 fps. Good for gaming (PUBG,League of Legends, CodM, AoV, GFF, Asphalt 9, Heroes evolved, Avengers 5v5 Mona, etc). High quality chipset.
I totally would rate it 6.5/10.0 due to lack of Google Services and the EMUI 11 BUG. But still it's a good phone based on my experience, it has good camera, big storage, fastest chipset, could run mostly all apps available, etc,etc. What makes it interesting is it's design it may cost every penny available on your wallet, still worth it. May not surpass to Samsung S21 and Apple IPhone 12 PRO, Mini. Stoll recommend it though. Its a little expensive. (This is my Secondary Phone as I'm currently using Samsung Galaxy Fold) Good job huawei :)

Warning to P40 users:
Do not update to EMUI 11 if u care about camera quality. Somehow the quality decreases (low light, zooming - both on photo & video). Wait for another EMUI 11 OTA update for the fix.

Girlie , 20 Jan 2021The battery capacity seems bad for me. I havn't owned this brand before.Try checking comparison on youtube.
The capacity should be enough for most people.
It's like similar to how iphone manages to do well with small battery
