Editorial report
Huawei P40 4G 8 GB / 128 GB / China / AL00 technical sheet
The Huawei P40 4G suits people who want a relatively light phone and put photography first: it weighs 175 g, and its camera system is among the best of its time. The main camera pairs a 1/1.28″ sensor with optical image stabilization, while the telephoto camera adds 3x optical zoom. Its main camera's f/1.9 aperture is less bright than that of most phones of its time, a specific limitation in an otherwise ambitious camera setup.
The 6.1″ OLED display has 422 ppi, a density among the highest in phones of its time, but its 60 Hz refresh rate is lower than most. Its 8 GB of RAM and connectivity stand better than those of most phones launched around the same time. The listed features include Wi-Fi 6, NFC, and Bluetooth 5.1, and storage is expandable.
Its 3,800 mAh battery has less capacity than most phones of its time, while its 22.5 W wireless charging power is among the highest. The phone runs Android 10 and has no Google Services, an important point for anyone who relies on them. Overall, its strengths center on the cameras; the display combines high pixel density with a modest refresh rate. With a NeoScore of 6.3, it is better than most phones of its time and best suits people who prioritize photography and optical zoom over a large battery.
