Huawei P40
Overview
The P40 Huawei’s new flagship range of smartphones under the P-series. The device comes as the direct successor of Huawei P30 of 2019, and as you would expect, lot of things has changed. Although, while the display remains 6.1-inch with 1080 x 2340 pixels resolution, there is a switch in the type of notch, to a new pill-notch, instead of the U-shape notch used in the predecessor.
In the hardware department, the Huawei P40 is powered by HiSilicon Kirin 990 CPU. This is a 5G Chip, and makes use of a 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, 6/8GB of RAM and 128/256GB internal storage, expandable up to 256GB via Nano Memory (NM) slot.
On the camera department, the P40 pack 3-lenses 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 an 8-megapixel lens with OIS, PDAF and 3X optical zoom, while the third lens is a 16-megapixel ultra-wide angle lens. On the front, there is just a single 32-megapixel selfie sensor, kept alongside an IR TOF 3D sensor for bio-metric FaceID only.
Whats more? 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 IP53 certification. Battery power comes from a 3800mAh battery with 22.5W fast charging. The phone runs on Android 10 based on EMUI v10.1 with Huawei Mobile Service (HMS). Other key specifications and silent features of the Huawei P40 are contained in the specs table below.
