Huawei makes phenomenal phones each year. This phone is simply excellent.

Lack of Google Play is the only problem. I would like to learn if there is a way to install Google Play apps on this phone.

Why does the USA lick it spitting by bashing the principles of free trade? Can't the USA compete with rivals in tech in a chivalrous manner?

In New Zealand, the Huawei P40 is being offered for $1000 with Bose Noise Cancelling Headphones 700 as a bonus. Is it worth it?

First of all I do not own any of these phones. Personally, I would go with the P40. The camera is insanely good, and while the P30 Pro already has a great camera, the P40's is even better. It also includes video recording @ 4K 60 FPS. P30's Kirin 980 doesn't support 4K 60 FPS video recording.
S20 is just overpriced in my opinion, it's not better than the P40 at all. In fact, the camera is worse and the battery life is terrible from what I've read. The P40's battery life is pretty good according to GSMarena testing. The S20 does have a higher refresh rate, but you didn't mention it as your priority, so I'm guessing you don't care about that.
I would completely eliminate the S20 from consideration and choose between the Huawei P30 Pro and P40. IMO the P40 is worth the extra 100€. I hope I helped a bit.

Please help me decide:
I have an option for buying p40 for 520€, p30 pro for 420€, and s20 for 690€. My top priorities are the camera, phone design and body size.
p30 pro has its obvious advantages with its price and camera, but i find its design to be the worst out of the three, and it is larger than i would like it to be. s20 is a too hard for my wallet, but it has everything. p40 is an interesting one because its probably worse than s20 but its 170€ cheaper, and its 100€ more than p30 pro, but im not sure how much better is it.

What do you think about these prices? Are some of them cheaper/more expensive than they usually are? I am from europe(Serbia). Please be objective, and thank you for your paitence and time :)

Nebula, 09 Apr 2020Expect aggressive app management. well the app managment wont be any problem at all. U have an app called AppGallery wich u can download regular apps and u have 3rd party app called ApkPure. On ApkPure u can download google apps and get updates for them. U can also use the app MoreApps wich will guide to download the app u want.

Nothing new and innovative. The same screen resolution, same camera. There is no 8K support, no 10x optical zoom, no super slow motion fps around 1000 or more in 4k. I can't see one reason to change my old phone.

3800mah battery an ip53 a 5g cabability also nice design
n a mere us$590 n no gms which many couldnt care less

n u dont have to sell your old phone as it has depreciated
a lot or just buy a secondary cheap phone for other apps

n u can find almost any apps in hms n it would nt be long
where all d important apps will b available in huaweiapps

my attention n preferences have turned to china phones
without made in china n their rich in features phones too
the world has little but no choice on expensive mediocre
smartphones at least not anytime soon n perhaps never

but what has happened n do state it so that we all know
also dont forget to give credible proves n links is a must

like it or not the whole technology is stored in China and to buy a product that you think is not from China, it will have chinese parts inside of it or to be assembled into China, so they become major in the world because they have the technology and now they make the products themselves they have long been in space with more than half of the satellites they orbiting the earth and they go further
