The Mate 40 Pro is Huawei’s latest superphone, which the company hopes will go up against the iPhone 12 Pro and Samsung’s Galaxy S20 and Note series. Wrapped up in an attractive body, it’s packed with the latest top tech and 5G. But while it’s got solid specs on paper, it suffers from one major problem.
Due to the ongoing restrictions imposed by the US government, Huawei’s phones can’t use any Google services, including Gmail, Maps and Chrome and, most importantly of all, the Google Play store.
While Huawei has its own app store (which I’ll come to later) it’s nowhere close to rivalling Google’s and it makes this phone difficult to recommend over any of its rivals.
Here are the full specifications of Huawei Mate 40 Pro+ smartphone device and price that you need to consider reading before you proceed to buy one.
