Huawei’s P40 Pro Plus review: Is this the best phone camera?

With a whopping 10x optical zoom, Huawei’s P40 Pro Plus can take some outstanding images, while its slick design and vibrant screen make it a pleasure to use. Too bad it doesn’t have any Google services.

    In the neither phone is worth $1400 competition, as much as I like p40 pro+ camera, the ultra is the better deal. More and faster ram, dual speakers, bigger screen, bigger battery, better processor, higher refresh rate, and gms

    “It seems like its no longer a smart buy” is a complete understatement.

    Don’t need Chinese garbage. This company is going to be bankrupt in a year. This company is corrupt and the world governments are in the middle of making them irrelevant. Wouldn’t buy it, customer service will be non existent soon.

    For anyone really uses a proper camera, digital zoom is not counted as zoom ability, only optical zoom counts. the Samsung telephoto lens is not a 10x optical zoom lens, it is not even the same category. With these telephones lens, you can achieve much better portrait with natural looking bokeh. Normal people don’t need these pro functions, if they don’t how to properly use it.

    Why did you shoot the S20 Ultra’s photos in 16:9 though? You’re aware 4:3 is its native aspect ratio, yes?

  20. Timothy Lam

    June 11, 2020 at 12:20 am

    what about the Sony Xperia 1ii??

    Dean Village was a nice place to walk around actually Edinburgh is full with beautiful places I miss all that. 4 years of my life I spent it there has and of course it has its ups and downs even though downs were more but still a nice place you really miss if you did visit it once. hopefully one day I’m gonna visit it again.

    Every Chinese Android phone without Google Services by default can have them installed without too much a hassle.

  26. Kenneth raiford

    so you gonna compare the Huawei 3x vs the s20 ultra 4x really and the s20 looked better

      Watch danny winget if you’re really into the comparison, he did it way more thorough out and much careful assessment

    Without google services, its just a point and shoot device. Google should completely ban Huawei from using their open source software or stop Android from being an open source. Let Huawei develop it’s own from the ground and see how it goes. They have the resources to build their own and should not rely on half bake Android

    • 黃郁棋

      June 11, 2020 at 12:08 pm

      But in fact, the open source Android developer is not only google’s member, but others. So it’s dangerous to make Android private.

    Watching Michael Fisher’s video first , make me realize people really need to appreciate the engineering marvel behind this and just appreciate how great is this phone, no one forcing anyone buying this phone but it’s just so good u gotta give it a chance even with the absence of google service (you can sideload playstore on the internet, although security “risk” is on your own)

  41. Wayfer Movies

    June 11, 2020 at 8:03 am

    What about Sony 1 mark ii dear

  42. Jamil Aboudaher

    I thought the S20 isn’t worth 1400$ until the P40 + came out.

    • Manny S.

      June 11, 2020 at 11:32 am

      S20 lineup is a big mess

  43. Ken Chen

    June 11, 2020 at 11:43 am

    2:47 why I think the zoomed 10x shot from samsung is much better? There are so many artifacts on shot from Huawei. The edges of the buildings are not straight anymore. samsung photo looks more like camera and natural.

  44. Lê Minh

    June 11, 2020 at 12:29 pm

    Best phone “non Google app” haha

    • Thugario

      Lê Minh why would u buy it then

    Penta + 10x 😲

  46. RaFKw

    June 11, 2020 at 4:50 pm

    Huawei’s got 10x optical zoom vs 4x optical on S20 ultra, and look at the difference between the build and these colours. It’s like beauty and the beast. P40 Pro plus all the way for me.

  47. noor

    June 11, 2020 at 6:07 pm

    I don’t use the official YouTube and other google apps installed with android phones, I try to disable them and use alternatives (better features and less load on the phone, beside: less data leakage).. for me I see this is a better phone than Samsung .. at least in term of security and pre-installed software.

    • Shabadoo Shabadoo

      June 11, 2020 at 8:04 pm

      Yes, but goodluck getting those other apps with no app store. You will need to hope to find an APK for literally anything you want to install, and then I imagine you need to manually update to a new apk when a new version comes out.

  48. Ahsan Ali Ali

    June 11, 2020 at 6:44 pm

    Not best camera phone

  49. Shabadoo Shabadoo

    June 11, 2020 at 7:58 pm

    At 2x and 3x zoom i thought you were a pervert so you’re right 10x optical zoom DOES make a big difference.
