Editorial report

Huawei P40 6 GB / 128 GB / China / AN00 technical sheet

The Huawei P40 suits buyers seeking a compact phone with a versatile camera and broad 5G connectivity. Its main trade-off is the 3,800 mAh battery, which holds less capacity than most phones of its time.

Its 6.1″ OLED display delivers 422 ppi and an 86.3% screen-to-body ratio, while the 175 g body keeps the format light. The drawback is its 60 Hz refresh rate, lower than most phones of its time. IP53 adds resistance to dust and water.

The main camera combines 50 MP resolution, a large 1/1.28″ sensor, optical image stabilization and an f/1.9 aperture. The sensor size and 3x optical zoom are among the strongest specifications of their time, although the aperture is less bright than most. 4K recording at 60 fps and an ultrawide camera add flexibility.

The Kirin 990 5G, 8 GB of RAM and an AnTuTu score of 649,400 put performance better than most phones of its time. Connectivity is among the best, with broad 5G band support, Wi-Fi 6 and Nano-SIM + eSIM options. This version has 128 GB, expandable storage and no Google Services. Overall, it is better than most phones of its time; its 6.1 NeoScore makes it especially appealing for photography and mobile networks when battery capacity and 60 Hz are not priorities.
