You won\u2019t be surprised to hear that the P40 Pro meets all of the expectations we\u2019ve had from Huawei so far \u2013 it\u2019s the kind of phone that sits in the upper tier of flagships, and you can tell just by looking at it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It has a 6.58-inch bezel-less display with a 90Hz refresh rate, a Leica quad rear camera, and up to 50x hybrid zoom. The phone is powered by Huawei\u2019s fastest homemade processor, the Kirin 990, along with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage (expandable with Huawei\u2019s Nano Memory cards).

Huawei calls this a &#8220;quad-curved&#8221; design, as the 6.58-inch screen wraps around not only the sides of the phone, but also the top and bottom. The curvature isn&#8217;t as great as the 88-degrees on the Mate 30 Pro, and I don&#8217;t think there&#8217;s any real benefit in terms of usability, but it&#8217;s a pleasing design decision regardless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Huawei P40 Pro review: Performance and<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><u>Huawei P40 Pro&nbsp;phone&nbsp;battery<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Life<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, the P40 Pro is powered by Huawei&#8217;s fastest mobile chipset ever, the Kirin 990. It&#8217;s a new octa-core chip built on a 7nm manufacturing process &#8211; something we first saw in the Huawei Mate 30 Pro &#8211; with the cores grouped into three groups: two performance-based Cortex-A76 cores running at 2.86GHz, two more mid-power cores running at 2.36GHz, and four Cortex-A55-based cores running at 1.95GHz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How do these numbers translate into actual performance? In testing, I found the Kirin 990 to be about 18% faster in multi-core processing compared to the previous-generation Kirin 980 (which powers the P30 Pro). Huawei\u2019s own app store may indeed be limited at the time of writing, but the P40 Pro will be able to run anything you throw at it with ease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I had worried that&nbsp;<strong><u><a href=\"https:\/\/www.batteriesfast.co.uk\/smartphone-battery\/Huawei\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Huawei phone battery&nbsp;<\/a><\/u><\/strong>life might suffer due to the 90Hz screen, but ultimately, this phone performs very well. At the phone\u2019s native screen resolution, with the high refresh rate setting turned on, the P40 Pro lasted 21 hours and 36 minutes before needing a recharge. That\u2019s pretty good by any standard, and better than the performance of the P30 Pro and Mate 30 Pro \u2013 both of which have regular 60Hz screens. Huawei P40 Pro review: Camera<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before we get into the pros and cons of the software package, it\u2019s worth taking a close look at the real star feature: the quad Leica camera array. First up, the main camera is a 50-megapixel (f\/1.9) flanked by a 12-megapixel (f\/3.4) 5x telephoto zoom lens. Both are optically stabilised and use the less commonly used RYYB filter, which replaces the green element of the filter with a yellow Huawei P40 Pro review: Conclusion<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What I do know is that buying the Huawei P40 Pro is a risky move. Launching a high-priced flagship phone without access to popular apps is not an attractive move, and if the Mate 30 Pro was released to a lukewarm reception last year, then I find it hard to imagine Huawei benefiting from it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.batteriesfast.co.uk\/smartphone-battery\/Huawei\/HB536378EEW\/1741698\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><br>3.85V 4.4V 4100mAh\/15.79WH Replacement Smartphone Battery for Huawei HB536378EEW<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Huawei HB536378EEW battery are sold directly on the network, without other agents profits included, the HB536378EEW battery price that you see on our website will be 20-50% lower than our competitors in general.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Find the best Huawei Smartphone Battery price!
