Christian A Saputra , 24 Mar 2022Hi Huawei Lovers... Does anyone know how to change from ... moreHarmonyOS. But I believe harmony not released for global versions except tablets. Anyway there no deference between them.

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.

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.

HuaweiLover, 12 Jun 2021Hi I'm want to ask a question.
Should I buy the mat... moreIf you wanted to inject the GMS, then Mate 30 Pro or P40 Pro. Make sure the OS is EMUI 10. With Mate 40 Pro, there's no proven way to inject the GMS yet. If you don't care about the GMS, then get either the Mater 40 Pro or the P50 Pro Kirin.
Personally, I've used P40, Mate 30, Mate 30 Pro, and Mate 40 Pro. I'm keeping my Mate 30 Pro (with GMS) as there're flexibility of getting the apps from the Huawei App Gallery, Aurora Store, APK Pure and Google Play Store. The EMUI is getting Huawei updates too. All things being equal, I'd get the Mate 40 Pro.

I sold my iPhone 12 and bought this one.
The experience is quite fascinating with having no Google play services with this device it opened a lot of probabilities for me. I did not know that there are much better neo banks that exist which do not rely on Google's framework and there are tons of apps that are alternatives to that of Google's mainstream recommendations. The only downside that I see complication is Wear OS which I was planning to get and no alternatives for now with Huawei on that one.
Nevertheless, it's a good phone (much better than my iPhone 12 in all aspects) that lasts more than a day of usage. Camera is superb except for the video which is a love or hate situation. Design wise, it's a unique one and requires a case of you don't want the camera bump to be scratched.

The camera capabilities are top notch. I was recently at a tourist attraction garden at night, close to pitch black. This phone managed to capture excellent shots without the use of flashlights. I saw others with iPhone and Samsung using flashlights to be able to take a decent shot. Really feel lucky to have this phone.

Hi Huawei Lovers...
Does anyone know how to change from EMUI to HARMONY? Does anyone have experience it before? If so, please let me know in details. Is it better using EMUI 12, or Harmony OS?
Thanks so much.
