There is a pill-notch to the top left corner of the device, and the display is same OLED panel with above 90% screen-to-body ratio.
In the hardware department, the Huawei P40 Pro is powered by same HiSilicon Kirin 990 with 7nm+ EUV processor, comprising of a dual-core 2.86 GHz Cortex-A76, dual-core 2.36 GHz Cortex-A76 and a quad-core 1.95 GHz Cortex-A55 CPUs, along with Mali-G76 MP16 GPU. There is a single 8GB RAM option, but storage starts from 128GB to a staggering 512GB internal memory, which can be further expanded via a Nano Memory (NM) slot.
As for the optics, the Huawei P40 Pro has four camera modules at the back. The main sensor is a 50-megapixel unit featuring f/1.9 aperture, OIS and omni-directional PDAF. The second sensor is Periscope 12-megapixel telephoto lens with OIS, PDAF and 5X optical zoom. The third sensor is a 40-megapixel ultra-wide angle lens with f/1.8 aperture. And finally, there is a fourth TOF 3D depth lens. At the front, there is same 32-megapixel selfie sensor, kept alongside an TOF 3D sensor for both depth sensing and bio-metrics scanning.
The battery that powers the P40 Pro is a 4200mAh unit, and it has support for 40W fast wired charging and 27W fast wireless charging. The device comes with an in-screen fingerprint scanner, and available in Silver Frost, Blush Gold, Deep Sea Blue, Ice White and Black colors, with either a single or dual SIM card along with IP68 certification. The device boot Android 10 based on EMUI v10.1 with Huawei Mobile Service (HMS). Other key specifications and silent features of the Huawei P40 Pro are contained in the specs table below.
