this look like a fake phone when you look at the image or shine light on the cameras

So this phone was supposed to be the crown jewel of the Huawei empire, but got nerfed thanks to sanctions. Back then, the normal version, always got last years cameras with the main camera from the new generation, so if you had no need for zoom, the normal p40 had the same camera as the pro and pro+
The issue with it is age, and that it didnt get a single android update, sure emui upgraded to emui12 from the stock 10.1, but thats still Android 10, and porting to Harmony still locks it at Android 10 cause huawei didnt care to upgrade it, forcing you to buy the inferior 50 and 60 lineup.
tragic really.
also with updates, you lost camera quality, and since camera app is at service level, even if you downgrade to emui10.1, the camera will still be worse than it was, check internet, comparison pictures

After selling my Mate 50 Pro, I'm back to my beloved backup P40. Almost five years after buying it, it still works perfectly fine. Everything is a bit slower than it used to be (or maybe it is due to being used to 120Hz), but there is no lagging or slowdown. This is what I love about P40 series, they keep working just fine, my mom has P40 lite and it still works fine, although a bit slower than it used to, it never lags and becomes unresponsive like other ANdroid phones.
The camera is still relevant on P40, with natural colors, and good lowlight performance and I again enjoy the small form factor. I haven't decided yet on the new phone, but may keep using this one for some time. I also converted it to Harmony OS, which brought a new life to it, with some new features and smoothness, together with better working google services.

erezc, 30 Aug 2023Hi I have this phone 2 years (got as a present) and I love ... moreBecause either you bought it in China (Most chines phones do not permit eSIM) or someone installed the HarmonyOS Chinese version (which at the moment is the only one you could get after EMUI 12), which does not allow eSIM, but in the hardware eSIM module is built in non China P40

Anyone knows if charging is really 22.5W? I lost the original charger (I still have the USB c ) and I have another Huawei charger to temporarily replace it while I get another one, this one also has super charging and is 22.5w maximum. By the way, if somebody know the model of the charger I would be grateful.

Any current user here? What's your experience on newer version of harmonyos? I was thinking of buying this phone in the used market just to have a different experience, it's dirt cheap and I also like the simple design and small form factor since I always bring 2 phones. Btw I consider myself a advance user so don't comment something like (the lack of apps in app gallery or no google apps F! google actually, time to stay away from that monopoly) anyways share your thoughts.
