The color on the back panel is absolutely beautiful!

Politics is the greatest hindrance to innovation.

They knew Huawei is going fast in innovation with great devices so they started restricting Huawei sales

I’d get it just for the camera. The reality is affordability is an issue!

Kindly note that this is an Android phone. With a one extra click, you can install anything you want in your phone, even the mighty play store!. There is a workaround for every single apps that's available in the market. I wonder why US reviewer's are not even mentioning that?!. It's not that difficult or we are not compromising security in that process. Include everything In the review and Keep up the good spirit 🙌

America was very Scared because Iphone can't event think about catching up the huawei camera tech 😥

Man this guy is a photocopy of Quentin Tarantino.

Honestly: I am tired of software processing. I recently bought the Lumia 1020 and the Nokia 808. and with a gimbal the shots feel so natural. In spite of grain more natural than my iPhone 11. Facts. Huawei is taking steps back to the roots somehow. I like it.

Trump: Ban Huawei from USA! China: release the dragon..

11:15 Did he just say "as"trocious?

Watching u since last 6 years grt content

i luv huawei phones, theyre jus such dope hardware dat u cant find anywhere else

Wow awesome upgraded cameras and also other features. Completely speech less with no flaws in it. Thumbs up to Huawei. Great & good explanation of this phone. Keep up the good work brother.

Glad that you change the format to 18:9

Wish they would commit to Harmony as a mobile OS. Android doesn’t need to control every phone that’s not an iPhone.

I have been using a P30 pro since it was released, hopefully Huawei will be allowed to have Google on their phones again soon. I really want my next phone to be a new Huawei P phone

The Phone is great with or without play store.

One of the best videos in this channel, awsome job!

Oh my gosh! That is a beautiful device. Hope they bring it in Philippines. My contract will expire in a few months. Need something new. 😍😘

Like ur new hair. And the wider aspect ratio videos finally

Great review as always, with a lot of needed detail. Given the Entity List/GMS/app situation, what other phones would you say are a suitable option, specifically in the camera dept, and particularly in low light. As a user of the P20 Pro, I can say that when it comes to low-light photography, even the best flagship phones, are still not comparable to Huawei.

The camera is insane, dark become light and the sharpness is beautiful

Got the P20 rn, getting the P30, and then P40 great power life plus it looks awesome.

Excellent vid David. Great job!

in the app gallery there's a app with apks for all the normal Android apps (Instagram, WhatsApp....)

Well you can also flash gapps in 3 minutes, and you'll have the play store ! (No root needed of you're asking)

I wish this was available in the US!

Well done David 👏

I got google play store installed and its google services in my huawei P40 Pro..It works flawlessly! I love the smartphone!

I have the P40Pro for two months now and I really find it great. Im not really that much hooked into Google because I dont really play much games or use much apps other than Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and Spotify. But here's my honest take about the fone. Camera-wise, its great. Speed-wise, its great. Design-wise, easy to hold and great aesthetics. With regards to using apps, I use APKPure and Amazon Appstore for the apps that are not available on Appgallery. Surprisingly, these two app stores update their apps as frequent as Google Playstore.

Its so beautiful 😍 especially that ceramic back

Twitter, Instagram, Spotify ...that u mentioned are not a "ton of apps missing" and frankly, they r not so important as others that DO exist already in Huawei store. And if u really want them u can get them from elsewhere than Google Play. Anybody can live w/o Google Serv. as they enjoy the plethora of pluses this phone has which gives you an unparalleled experience!

Finally, a good review on the P40 Pro Plus..

A pretty accurate review and really honest. Thks man! That's why I'm keeping my P30 pro 😁

@David Imel Nice review. Makes more sense coming from an actual camera enthusiast. That device looks a lot better than even Samsung's if I'm being honest. Btw, loving the Boy Band look. 😆

Beautiful review 😍

Wow! Shane West reviewing phones. Awesome!!!

Could you please tell me if the p40 pro best moments feature is the same concept as the s20+ single take feature? Thanks

Man that panda colour is just so beautiful!

Just for your info, besides Google Play Store, there's a very popular appstore from Amazon in the US, in which all the popular apps that you've mentioned can be downloaded from. Beyond US, there are dozens of appstores including Huawei Appgallery around the world where Android users have accessed to either for their availability, accessibility or simply for local contents.

To call it P it's understating..to have a phone w/ a camera system that intricate = Wow!!

Who on earth thought that that front camera design was a good idea

Great thorough review David. I think a major Canadian carrier has decided to not use Huawei for their 5G network already. Great hair btw! :D

You can use Instagram, Twitter and Spotify on the P40 Pro... what are you saying bro

That color on the back is SICK !!!

How well does it work if you install the APK pure app store and download the APK files of the missing apps?

I have p40 pro plus but I did not find Remove Passersby can you help me ???

Good review!

Have you try VMOS to use the apps that require play services?

Wow! It looks really nice.

Best camera phone in night vision, Always keep smiling bro

Ich habe den Bildstabilisator getestet und war vollkommen verblüfft 😱 wie eine Spiegelreflexkamera ist das💪🏼

Beautiful Design 👌👌 Awesome Camera Quantity 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

May i know is huawei can play pokemon go and using google maps without any problem?

My dream phone! Watching this with my P10 plus. Gotta hustle hard to get this! I don't mind the "no google playstore" hiccup whatnot since I like to tinker my phone anyways

Look around KZfaq. There are plenty of videos that show how to install GSM on Huawei phones. I have it on my Mate 30 pro and it's faultless. Same can be done on this device. I would strongly recommend it.

Is there a way to use the P40 pro with your Chromecast (without any jailbreak stuff)? 🙏🏽

I saw some youtubers have shown google apps installed on P40 pro but i'm not sure if it's reliable/stable. I really love Huawei phone.

I switched from IPhone to Huawei p20 pro 2 years ago and I was very satisfied. Till this day I don't have battery problems or software problems like my family has with their iPhones ( after a year or two the phones get slower and batteries go out ... Seems like apple trying to get you to upgrade by messing your phone with updates ) I really was looking to upgrade to the p40 Pro but unfortunately with the lack of Google services , I really don't think the money's worth the hassle to work around it. You need Google in the USA no matter how you put it.

God will always be there for you

awesome video as usual

Full of facts....and intelligently, presented. *****

Cant you dust download the apk of the apps frpm google or other app market and run on these phones ???

I'm still waiting for a successor to the Huawei Mate 20X. Cmon!!!!

performing a phone clone from p30 gets all the google apps to be transferred to the new p40 pro + with a very small limitation on a few games which needs google authentications. however most retailers here in hk can install GMS at the time of purchase with a small mark up of $40 and the phone works perfectly ...

That quarantine hairstyle 😬😂✌

Who is this zoom feature for? Cause I don't know anyone who zooms in while taking pictures

Ok I see you IMEI! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

That antutu is for performance mode turned off , you can turn on performance mode and unlock true antutu score

You forgot to mention they switched from a micro SD card to their own more expensive proprietary memory card

Imagine if huawei used only stock skin like motorola or OnePlus without all of those ban issues..man i cant think of better overall phone than this

Great take

I have bought a Huawei P30 Pro unlocked for my T-Mobile plan and had no problems with it. What am I understanding is if I get the P-40 Pro unlocked phone I can't use it for my T-Mobile account?

A world class , amazing smartphone it will be. There camera, display and charging speed just wow. So far I've seen the features suggested was unbelievable. i like it so much. Thanks to HUAWEI to bring such kind of smartphone phones in this era.

Can you use the 40W wireless charger in the Huawei Mate 30 Pro 5g?

I’m waiting to buy this phone in the UK, wish they’d hurry up, I love Huawei phones best I’ve ever used. Cheers for this! Google apps won’t be a problem for me.....😉

I am only one who did that home guesture after hearing it from him about the curved surface

Will it be yellowing for long term usage?

For the app gallery thing , can't you just use uptodown and get the .apk file from there ?

What!!! Incredible!! Amazing

Use APKPURE for finding apps not available in the app gallery and use Petal Maps for Google maps alternative and KZfaq Vanced for KZfaq Alternative. Games and Spotify and more are all available in APKPURE use this app store alternative until HarmonyOS comes and app gallery has all the apps. Huawei is excellent and I'm using Huawei Mediapad M6 and also Huawei P40. I'm living life without Google as a gamer and as a person who is actively addicted to social media. Give it a try.

When did Quentin Tarantino start doing smartphone reviews on KZfaq?

You were in the mobile review. From michael fisher's mr mobile

*Mr.Mobile**, Android Authority, Android Central, GSM Arena, Tech Spurt, Ben's Gadgets* All released the reviews of the P40 pro + at around the same time..!!! Coincidence.!?

And we all know the other way if getting apps outside the Google playstore. Actually i'm finding lately a lot of new apps, on their sites offer a direct download link for the latest apk archive to install it instead of using the playstore. I guess Huawei really saturated the market to the point where a developer cannot afford to lose these users. I'm still waiting for the launch of that phone here and will get it asap just because of the camera. I'm still rolling my 2yo P20 Pro (again bought it because of the camera and the color of the panel) and with my hand on my heart i can say it's the best phone i've ever had. It's the only one which didn't have a single, even a tiny problem or issue for that time. Over the years i've tried almost every major manufacturer's flagship phone - Samsung, Sony, LG, HTC ... all of them started developing some sort of minor problems and issues within 6 months, but this one has been bulletproof. So as far as i am concerned Huawei are the good guys. And the best part is the accessories for it are a fraction of the price i used to pay for the Galaxy ones. Also, not long after me, my dad got a Mate 20 and to this day is still beyond impressed with it. So yeah, i can say i'm satisfied from my Huawei experience. Edit: Also forgot to mention if you have an old Huawei phone which has all the google apps you can copy them on your new phone. Maps, KZfaq... everything in just under a minute, so not such a big problem. Just get an old phone for $30 an use it to install whichever app from the store you like.

Wide angle came is crazey

Imagine if this thing came packed with google play....yessss

The pinkish hue seen in red images is ultraviolet radiation/light and the Samsung has a UV coating on their lenes to block that spectrum of light so, a small uv filter attached will fix this issue.

Apart from google services, u did mention about FHD display, but didn't mention bout stereo speakers?

Missing an app store is not the biggest problem. The problem is missing the Google Play Service framework, which is required for pushing notification even if you're able to sideload all the apps you need.

Was it the snapdragon ultra or exynos?

Given the situation, it would great if Huawei made a bare bones version of this phone but keeping the same camera stuff and make it like $400-500. I would use my current phone for day to day stuff and have that as my camera phone.

Good info abt the camera but why ? Just why you like that design on the front?😂

Every Google apps I had on my Samsung Note 9 that was transferred to Huwaei works, although some of them carried a note saying that they require Google Services to work! even the legendary Google Maps works like a treat! I am sure that amongst the billions of apps on Android some might not work, but who really cares if you have such quality at a reasonable price.

Thank god i completed the video tell end, i would've buy it, but twitter and instagram is really important

please can we have more eye straining blur shots i love watching videos that give me headaches and ocular problems

Can you Jailbreak it and put on android? (just until they finish their appstore.)

I have one, awesome camera, speed, and so many things. Thank you, Huawei!!!

Man, i love the color on that phone 😎

Watching a review to a phone i cant even afford to buy
