I thought manufacturers deliberately make protruding cameras due to almost all consumers are putting their phones on some kind of protection

Ianchiang200605, 10 Nov 2020Yep, on Standard, Pro and even Porsche Design version u only get a 18mmf/1.8 wide angle lens, ... moreMaybe it's a typo? Porsche camera setup looks identical to the plus. Or it is only misleading.

Nick.B, 05 Nov 2020Hmmm only on mate40pro+ is the free form lenses ? hmmmYep, on Standard, Pro and even Porsche Design version u only get a 18mmf/1.8 wide angle lens, Huawei only uses software to offset the distortion. Only the Pro+ u get the 14mmf/2.4 bonus. And that really makes it difficult for me to decide whether to pursue the Porsche version.

Still, the end result of processing is still too "artistic" compared to detail from P40pro superwide, 20mp may be too much of resolution for enjoyment at 100% pixel lvl, should stay at 10mp or improve it to look less "wormy".
Its kind of inconsistent compared to other lens, it's a wonder.

Woo, 04 Nov 2020Simple, Huawei are too good and is not American company. Must me ban to protect middle range c... moreSo true man. I just bought a brand new P40 Pro today at a very good price and the build quality is simply stunning. I am never going back to Samsung. Hope They will continue to make phones. I have all the apps I need, banking, everything, so no GMS for me doesn't bother me at all.

It would be so much easier if somebody came forward and just said "we discovered this and this" rather than playing hush-hush.

when nobody said that means that is nothing there, just US trying to control everything, facebook sell all ur info buts okay, android ( google ) track u even with gps off but thats okay
