While not a ‘feature’ as such, the main thing we want to note here is something the Huawei Mate 40 Pro doesn’t have – namely access to the Google Play Store or Google’s apps. There’s an alternative app store on the phone that has many of the apps you’ll want, but the selection isn’t as good as what you’ll find on most Android phones, and no access to things like Google Maps also hurts. Along the phone’s bottom is a loudspeaker, a USB-C port and a SIM tray, which doubles up as a nano memory card slot. You’ll find all the buttons along the left edge, while up top is an infrared blaster and the second speaker. Read on for an in depth look at every key aspect of the phone, where we highlight its many good points and its single significant bad one. Screen

The battery capacity is 4,400mAh, which is about average for a flagship phone, but we’d imagine the real reason the phone lasts a long time is some smart software optimizations to keep the battery going longer. We say this because the company has used similar optimizations to give its wearables fantastic battery life. As noted, the Huawei Mate 40 Pro has steeply curved sides on its screen. It’s called a ‘Horizon Display’ and could almost bring to mind a waterfall tumbling off the edge of your phone. It’s a striking look, and with minimal bezels above and below the display this phone also has an all-screen look. The Huawei Mate 40 Pro display looks pretty great, though the paucity of streaming service apps means that opportunities for enoying it are somewhat limited.The 256GB storage here feels more than enough for most people; if you’re not sure that will be enough, not many popular cloud storage options are available via AppGallery. We found ourselves having to plug the Mate into our computer to save photos and grab the photos for the camera samples section above. Software

As of November 2023, Huawei completed the rollout of EMUI 13 for global smartphones. This makes time for the company to move toward the next major software release. But we don’t have a clue about the next major software. Huawei’s latest, the Mate 40 Pro shows just how dogged Huawei can be. It upholds the highest standards with its photography and video capabilities while pushing through from a software point of view to deliver Huawei’s best Google-free experience to date. The mere notion that any company could build a software ecosystem to substitute Google’s from the ground up seemed like lunacy when the ban was made public, but two years on, and Huawei isn’t too far off succeeding. Given that this is a Huawei phone, there’s probably something you’re particularly interested in: and yes, the camera performance here is fantastic. Head on down to our ‘Cameras’ section for a more detailed breakdown, but, long story short, the phone takes great pictures, especially portrait shots, zoomed-in images and low-light snaps. If this camera performance came from a phone with a bigger and better selection of apps, it would be a five-star device.

Why is The Big Phone Store the best place to buy a used Huawei Mate 40 Pro?
