Why We Love Huawei P40 Pro Specs (And You Should, Too!)
Huawei is currently a troubled smartphone company. The brand has been targeted by the US as well as other countries since 2019. In fact, Huawei is currently banned from using technology or components from any US companies, including software from Google.
This caused some trouble for the world’s second-largest smartphone maker. But it’s not as bad as you think.
Huawei was the only major Chinese smartphone brand to grow in sales in the first quarter of 2020 in China, though Chinese smartphone sales dropped by an unprecedented 22% during the same period due to the Covid-19 outbreak. Amazingly Huawei saw a 6% rise to 28.7 million phones, capturing a 39% share of total smartphone sales.
Huawei P40 Pro Display
The display of the P40 Pro looks amazing right from the start. Huawei designers redesigned the curved edges for maximum display coverage. They call it the Quad-curve overflow display. The selfie cameras have an excellent aperture of f/2.2 and support auto-focus even in 4K video.
The Huawei P40 Pro specs a 6.58-inch OLED display with a 2640 x 1200 resolution, which is close to the 2K resolution and much better than 1080P smartphones.
Huawei P40 Pro Hardware
The Huawei P40 Pro specs run on Huawei’s latest Soc, the Kirin 990 5G.the P40 Pro is able to make full use of the 90Hz display in some games.
it supports the 90fps mode and in our gaming test, it did run an average framerate of 89.5 without obvious jank problem.
And then we moved to the 3D mark tests to check out its GPU performance. The results showed that the P40 Pro can defeat 98% of all the tested phones. From the tests we did, the P40 Pro did match our expectations for a 2020 flagship.
Huawei P40 Pro Cameras
The most important selling point of the P40 Pro is still the cameras. And this time the camera setup is a bit aggressive. 50MP customized main camera with a 1/1.28 inches sensor the 40MP ultra-wide cine-camera is another important upgrade. It is designed not just for wide-angle photography but also for movie filming.
If you want to take some zooming shots, just make sure that the zooming range stays from 0.8 to 8.5 times, or it stays over 8.5 times. Because you will notice the change in resolution when you switch between these zoom ranges.
The 40MP wide-angle cine camera also did a good job as the main camera. The wide-angle image quality was even better than some other flagships’ main camera.
Huawei p40 pro Battery Life
he P40 Pro is also at the flagship level. 25-min charging with the included 40W charger can bring back 50% power, and it took only 1-hour to get it full-charged. And it also supports up to 27W wireless charging.
