Facing an issue of light flares when clicking a pic in night. Also the output of pics is ultra vivid , fake punchy colors and a bit dark .
Pleasing to eyes but they look so unreal and dark .
Dont know what's wrong with the camera ..
Anyone else facing the issue ?

GUNNERS, 03 Sep 2022Which phone to recommend between Mate 40 Pro vs P50 Pro
I ... moreThey were my daily driver previously (both the Mate 40 Pro HarmonyOS and EMUI versions, and P50 Pro Kirin 9000).
- If you can get P50 Pro the Kirin 9000 version, then get the P50 Pro. If you can only get the SD888 P50 Pro, then you're better off with the Mate 40 Pro as the SD888 will burn the P50 Pro battery. Very inefficient compared to the Kirin 9000.
- Performance (for Kirin), experience and build quality for both phones are similar, but the camera and display (variable 120Hz) are better on the P50 Pro. Mate 40 Pro is 90Hz.
- P50 Pro is also more manageable for one-handed use due to the more compact dimensions.
- Not 100% certain as HarmonyOS doesn't show the Android version anymore but I heard that the Mate 40 Pro is still based on Android 10, while P50 Pro is based on Android 11. We're soon heading to Android 13 this year. Not certain if their Android version will be updated or not.
- P50 Pro also has 4G connection only if that's a big deal for you.
- If you're getting the EMUI version, then both can't be sideloaded with GMS. The MicroG Framework is very handy for the EMUI version, yet the lack of Google Services Framework can be troublesome for some apps depending on your country. If your main apps are not relying on the Google Services Framework, please disregard this point.
Hope this helps.

I would go mate 40 pro for the 3d face unlock and features like eyes on display But you need to consider that the mate is 2 years old now and the p50 pro, globaly, only a couple months old.

Currently rocking this as my secondary phone alongside the iPhone 13 Pro as my daily driver. Also bought an S21 Ultra (Exynos) recently. Got to say that I didn't expect the Mate 40 Pro to still have the best image quality as it's gonna be a 2-year old device soon. Did some camera comparisons and the Mate 40 Pro hands down has the best dynamic range, exposure, and details even in low light among the three. It also has the best ultra wide image quality. The camera quality of the S21 Ultra pales in comparison to the Mate 40 Pro's.

Maxcerinsp, 09 Apr 2022Bullshit. Huawei without Google services is dead. You canno... morePlease name an app that is making your life difficult by not functioning at all and without a worthy alternative. Got like 140 apps in my mate 40 pro and (although it took some effort) i cannot complain. When i would think about complaining i take a look at my pics and think about the price i got it for.
I will though feel for you if you bought it new at full price tag. That, it is unfortunately not worth.

Just my two cents.
For those who are considering the Mate 40 Pro in 2022. It's only worth if you can get it for cheap, AND you know how to navigate life without Google using MicroG or Google in virtual environment etc. If NEITHER condition is met, and you're not willing to adapt or find it difficult, then you're better off getting other phones. The Kirin 9000 is an amazing chipset in 2020 (better than SD865), still a good chipset in 2021 (comparable or slightly better than SD888), but started to get left behind in 2022, although, the Mate 40 Pro hardware is still amazing even in 2022, and not many smartphones has the same premium built this.
Be mindful though, the screen is prone to scratches. Having screen protector and case are highly advisable. Not to mention the Android version underneath both the EMUI and HarmonyOS is stuck in Android 10. It's likely some apps won't be optimised anymore as we're approaching Android 13 this year.
