Its a looker
First things first, the Huawei P40 Pro is a gorgeous.
It’s free, every week, in your inbox.
I also dig how camera bump on the back looks.
The only thing I have an issue with is with that aforementioned camera area.
A minor grievance, but still a grievance.
But, its important to note, this is only without the included case.
When I put that on, the bump was far less pronounced.
The set-up process is dire
Basically, it was too long, and unwieldy.
This though, was simply an inconvenience.
It feels downright spammy and not what I want from a premium smartphone.
This same issue was repeated when I opened up the AppGallery (Huaweis answer to the Play Store).
Im sure some people dont mind this, but I found it incredibly off putting.
This feels pretty intuitive, but isnt quite as smooth as the iPhone 11 or the Pixel 4.
The Huawei P40 Pros waterfall screen feels odd
First off, the screen itself is delicious.
It delivers a crisp and rich viewing experience thats the equal to any phone display Ive used.
Im still on the fence about the waterfall element though.
Again, this is something I could get used to, but it doesnt feel quiterightat the moment.
You know, we are living through a lockdown after all.
This could well be the best camera weve ever seen in a smartphone.
As bad as this is, its also not the entire story.
In the future, this could be possible.
Its important to note things arentterriblethough.
The problem is the software, and not just the fact theres no support for Google services.
Compare to devices like the iPhone 11 and Pixel 4, the P40 Pro isnt as slick or seamless.
This doesnt mean its bad, just that its not quite at that level.
Software can be worked on and improved, something I expect to see happen soon.
