The Huawei Mate 40 Pro is a former flagship that still feels premium, pairing a Kirin 9000 5G chipset with a high-end triple camera system and fast wired plus wireless charging.

For buyers comparing older flagships against newer mid-range phones, this model offers strong hardware value, but the software experience is the main trade-off to evaluate first.

Value for Money

The Mate 40 Pro is best viewed as a legacy flagship: it can deliver premium-level camera hardware, build quality, and charging features that still compare well with many newer upper mid-range phones.

Design and Build

Huawei gave this phone a flagship-grade chassis with an aluminum frame, glass or eco leather back options, and IP68 dust and water resistance. It is not light, but the construction feels substantial and durable.

Display Quality

The 6.76-inch OLED panel supports HDR10 and a 90Hz refresh rate, with a sharp 1344 x 2772 resolution. Measured brightness around 807 nits is solid for daily outdoor visibility, though newer flagships can go brighter.

Performance and Gaming

The Kirin 9000 5G chip, Mali-G78 MP24 GPU, and UFS 3.1 storage keep the phone responsive for heavy multitasking and demanding games. Benchmark figures also show it still holds up well for a 2020 device.

Camera Capability

The rear setup remains the highlight: a large 50 MP main camera, 12 MP periscope telephoto with 5x optical zoom and OIS, plus a 20 MP ultrawide. Video features are strong, and the front 13 MP ultrawide plus TOF 3D sensor adds flexibility for selfies and secure biometrics.

Battery and Charging

A 4400 mAh battery paired with 66W wired and 50W wireless charging still feels fast in real use. Reverse wireless charging is also useful for accessories, and the tested endurance rating of 97 hours is respectable.

Software Experience

The key compromise is software: it runs Android 10 with EMUI 11 and no Google Play Services. If your workflow depends on Google-native apps and services, this limitation matters more than the hardware strengths.

Connectivity and Extras

Connectivity is comprehensive with broad 5G band support, Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.2, NFC, infrared port, dual-SIM or eSIM options, and USB Type-C 3.1. Positioning support is also excellent, including dual-frequency GPS and NavIC.

Who Should Buy the Huawei Mate 40 Pro

This phone fits users who prioritize camera zoom quality, premium hardware, and fast charging, and who are comfortable living without Google Play Services. If full Google integration is essential, a newer alternative will be a safer buy.

Conclusion

The Huawei Mate 40 Pro is still a compelling hardware package with standout cameras, design, and charging speed, but it is easiest to recommend only for buyers who can fully accept the no-GMS software environment.
