The color on the back panel is absolutely beautiful!
Looks like a white Kia optima 😂😂
That ceramic. It like white cream yeah it gorgeous

@Daniel Charles no one cares

Politics is the greatest hindrance to innovation.
True, but the two actual statistically accurate culprits are lack of access to education and intellectual property rights. Preventing the sharing and spread of new ideas is a really fascinatingly stupid and obstructive aspect of capitalism.
They're still innovating it's just banned in the US
Hopefully they come out with a better OS than android in the future.
Google is bound to crash one day with its free speech banning in UA-cam and running big pharma etc... It's all too much power for 1 company.. I hope the sheep wake up soon and we all can ditch alphabet.
@@australianoutback it's gonna have a hard time competing with Android and iOS and Huawei releases a ton of phones it's gonna be a struggle for them tbh
They knew Huawei is going fast in innovation with great devices so they started restricting Huawei sales
I agreed.
both of you sound crazy
@@samme-ds7ib it's crazy when you only see present but US see potential future and that's why they try to prevent from now
@Leo Lei I hope the new president brings everything back to normal. Hopefully not another 4 years with trump 😂
Nah. It's because Huawei Is owned by the ccp
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 🙌
How?

What about carriers in the US?
i know right? the guy is makin such a big deal out of google when it took me 15 mins to install all google apps on my p40 pro.Such a terrible way of distorting the truth .
@@120HEAT using my p40 pro on TMobile
I’d get it just for the camera.
The reality is affordability is an issue!
Just like lumia 1020 was good camera but no apps
There's no issue just buy it from the site they'll deliver it
Kanny boy I can’t afford it 😂😂😂😂 that’s my biggest problem. And at the same time for the price of the phone one can get a good DSLR or Mirrorless camera
Did you guys watch SuperSaf review where he said that the 10x lens do not work with video... This could be easily seen from the comparison to S20 Ultra. In 10x photos P40 Pro+ won but in video (no movement) it lost by a mile.
@@shivsankermondal this phone is still running on Android and there are a ton of loopholes to sideload apps.
Man this guy is a photocopy of Quentin Tarantino.
I prefer the term bootleg
@@AndroidAuthority Self destruction 100
Younger * better looking
Lol
Huawei version of tarantino pro plus
America was very Scared because Iphone can't event think about catching up the huawei camera tech 😥
No one really cares about that narrative anymore, seeing as Samsung is benefiting WAY more than Apple (or any other OEM).
Joke of the day
You are wrong, it wasnt because of camera tech, its Huawei has the ability to track you even when you are not using ur GPS, it cant be turned off either unless you don't have any batt left in the phone.
Huawei stole their 5G technology from Nortel, it is controlled by the Chinese Communist Party which also control the Coronavirus research lab in Wuhan. Use Huawei phone = support Coronavirus = support Communazi
@@aczbdk stop spreading lies and refrain yourself from commenting on the internet ever again, please
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.
Watching u since last 6 years grt content
You’re an OG ❤️
i luv huawei phones, theyre jus such dope hardware dat u cant find anywhere else
11:15 Did he just say "as"trocious?
Definitely sounds like he did. Is this one of those situations when a person never knew that he's misspelling some basic word because no one pointed it out? :D
@@mumblefluff I record these videos mostly off the cuff so sometimes I fumble my words :p
Glad that you change the format to 18:9
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.
Like ur new hair. And the wider aspect ratio videos finally
Yeah I kinda realized everyone is on 2:1 now.. time to jump in
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
One of the best videos in this channel, awsome job!
Thank you sir! - David
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. 😍😘
Trump: Ban Huawei from USA!
China: release the dragon..
Bad boiiii
Battery, camera, design, processor, softwer all so good and so many alternatives to get google on your phone. Phone just shine!
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.
The Phone is great with or without play store.
Daniel Charles you do know most things are made in china right?
@Daniel Charles maybe start with this instead of #boycottchineseproducts
This makes a lot of sense unlike the hashtag without context or explanation
@Daniel Charles absolutely an idiot, if you boycott China, the factories will go to (and going to) Vietnam, then India, they'll just be more expensive with lower quality.... face the reality, manufacturing will never come back to the states, and that's probably a good thing
@@ShortTube Thing is, living in China, China is soon to become a service based market as we're almost developed meaning all our factories will move to India and soon we will be the companies giving factory jobs to other countries
Actually yea
Well you can also flash gapps in 3 minutes, and you'll have the play store ! (No root needed of you're asking)
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.
Excellent vid David. Great job!
Thanks Drew! 👊
in the app gallery there's a app with apks for all the normal Android apps (Instagram, WhatsApp....)
Wish they would commit to Harmony as a mobile OS. Android doesn’t need to control every phone that’s not an iPhone.
The thing is, app developers will have to take a shift. Which is very difficult to accomplish. Widely used services in Android such as Firebase are not easy to implement by other companies except Google. Firebase is very wide.
True af
They are... And I wish them every bit of success. The latest bans on their chip supply will make it very difficult though for Huawei to produce anything... I hope the orange idiot is replaced quickly so things can stabilise again, we do not need another cold war in this age
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.
I got google play store installed and its google services in my huawei P40 Pro..It works flawlessly! I love the smartphone!
I wish this was available in the US!
Huawei stole their 5G technology from Nortel, it is controlled by the Chinese Communist Party which also control the Coronavirus research lab in Wuhan. Use Huawei phone = support Coronavirus = support Communazi
5G was not even a thing when Nortel was bankrupted. How could Huawei stole something Nortel didn't have.
@@datageekz8446 exactly, hauwei has way more patents than anyone else in the 5g space. you cant steal tech and have it patented and most patents are outside of China
@@NickNov most patents are in china zte and huawei are top leaders
@@aczbdk Legit brain dead take. Huawei are banned because they were ahead in 5G and the US doesn't want to be behind in a future Trillion dollar industry. So they're doing what they can to delay them until they can catch up or other 5G vendors like Eriksson or Nokia can be just as good as them in terms of tech. It's all about the money on the table and nothing about spying or whatever other bullshit lie is being spread as a smokescreen. Remember the weapons of mass destruction in Iraq? It was all about oil in the end... Follow the money.
Its so beautiful 😍 especially that ceramic back
Wow! Shane West reviewing phones. Awesome!!!
Man that panda colour is just so beautiful!
That color on the back is SICK !!!
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 😁
Same here
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.
To call it P it's understating..to have a phone w/ a camera system that intricate = Wow!!
Look around UA-cam. 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.
Apart from google services, u did mention about FHD display, but didn't mention bout stereo speakers?
U can use ACMarket to get the apps
Have you try VMOS to use the apps that require play services?
Could you please tell me if the p40 pro best moments feature is the same concept as the s20+ single take feature? Thanks
@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. 😆
Hahaha, thanks man! Yeah hair is a little out of control but I’m stuck with it until the city opens back up 😅
That antutu is for performance mode turned off , you can turn on performance mode and unlock true antutu score
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
I think so! And haha thanks man! Hoping the barber opens soon 😅
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
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.
Spot on!
👍
Where do u get amazon appstore
Pls review the Huawei Nova 7 Pro if it releases Global
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 ...
Wow! It looks really nice.
Beautiful Design 👌👌
Awesome Camera Quantity 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Will it be yellowing for long term usage?
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.
Ich habe den Bildstabilisator getestet und war vollkommen verblüfft 😱 wie eine Spiegelreflexkamera ist das💪🏼
Best camera phone in night vision, Always keep smiling bro
I'm still waiting for a successor to the Huawei Mate 20X. Cmon!!!!
God will always be there for you
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.
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?
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
You were in the mobile review. From michael fisher's mr mobile
When did Quentin Tarantino start doing smartphone reviews on UA-cam?
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!
Is there a way to use the P40 pro with your Chromecast (without any jailbreak stuff)? 🙏🏽
Still using my P20 Pro but considering getting the P40 pro plus or waiting for the P50 next year hmmmm...
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.
You can use Instagram, Twitter and Spotify on the P40 Pro... what are you saying bro
please can we have more eye straining blur shots i love watching videos that give me headaches and ocular problems
you could use aurorastore, microg, and fakeappstore. think that should do it
Was it the snapdragon ultra or exynos?
Thank god i completed the video tell end, i would've buy it, but twitter and instagram is really important
How well does it work if you install the APK pure app store and download the APK files of the missing apps?
I have one, awesome camera, speed, and so many things. Thank you, Huawei!!!
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, UA-cam... 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
Skype is still not available in Huawei AppGallary
Ok I see you IMEI! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Mark!!!!
My man 👊
I would get the p40 pro and I still want it but the only problem is price I'm not willing to pay that much money as my p20 pro still works perfectly after more than 2 years of everyday heavy use
Well done David 👏
Beautiful review 😍
I am only one who did that home guesture after hearing it from him about the curved surface
May i know is huawei can play pokemon go and using google maps without any problem?
U can install google play store and all google services not a problem
Imagine if this thing came packed with google play....yessss
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.
Who on earth thought that that front camera design was a good idea
just install the apk, from aptoide or apkdown, if u root it u can install play services
You don't even have to root.
I kinda like Android Authority using 18:9 aspect ratio in this video. Someone needs a haircut like i do haha
Oh yeah. Hair is getting to uncanny levels 😬. And thanks! I decided to get us on 4K 2:1. Probably about time haha
@@AndroidAuthority thumbs up you guys! Haha
Who is this zoom feature for? Cause I don't know anyone who zooms in while taking pictures
Full of facts....and intelligently, presented. *****
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.
1 year down, what's your verdict? Still buy or dump?
Google play survices can be installed easily
Im gonna buy one used for over 500€ less than the launch price...just like i got the P30 earlier.
STAND-BY ALL TIME RECORD IS?
i have it...absolute beast....no wonder they are 1st...and u read my mind brother...everybody tryies to copy them...and they fail badly
You forgot to mention they switched from a micro SD card to their own more expensive proprietary memory card
Good info abt the camera but why ? Just why you like that design on the front?😂
Technically it's not the screen that's curved at the bottom but the bezel glass
*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.!?
This is called an “Embargo”. We get the device early for review and can only release at a specific time.
