For whatever it is, internationally, P40 Pro+ are the best smartphone has to offer from Huawei. Variable focal of length. Mate 40 Pro no OIS, worse UWA, omit the 7680fps slomo. Mate 40 Pro+ are the best theorytically, but only available in China, so I minus that one.

For sure u love to complicate things, actually I just repeat from the previous answer. 🤦

      Go for P40 Pro+. Its the best what Huawei phone camera got to offer (internationally) today, instead of Mate 40 Pro. Whole range of focal length (x3 & x10 optical), OIS on main camera, better UWA with 7680fps slo-mo. Mate 40 Pro is the inferior camera.

I'm torn between the Mate... moreas to this day, Huawei failed to fix the colors in the pictures...except from the wide mode, all other cameras on this very phone produce fake colors, they are quite a lot off, so much that after watching the pics on a PC, you can clearly tell the colors are not right.
        Can't compete to any phone that has a 108MP camera, but the video quality is very good.

        Sound quality is not so awesome either, in fact the under screen speaker requires squishing the phone to your skull in order to make somewhat proper phone calls - for which i don't care actually;

        Battery life is however quite nice as expected from Huawei, the phone unlocks with face/finger very very fast, one of the fastest phones out there, fingerprint unlocking is as fast or almost as fast as on the Mate10pro - and i know no phone that can unlock faster.

          Hi Guys, need a little help. I'm torn between the Mate 40 pro and the P40 pro+.
          I'm leaning towards the P40 pro+ because of the more flexible camera hardware and 512 GB storage. But the Mate 40 pro has a lot going for it like stereo speakers, faster charging, and faster chipset. I'm just not a fan of extreme edge curves. Having said that, I think I prefer better handling and camera hardware over than other features. Should I go for the Mate 40 pro instead?

            no stereo speaker why

              Kev, 21 Apr 2021I am a Huawei user with a P30 Pro; and yes, I also dislike ... moreFrom what i can tell, the only mode that can take pics with almost right colors is the 'wide' mode (the slighder on the right shows '1x' if you slide down you get to 'wide');
              now don't get me wrong, i tried everything i could, and still can't get the colors on the pics to what i see with my own eyes;
              yes, but to compare pics across the phones, i use the PC, so, any setting that alters phone screen colors has nothing to do with my comparison; yes, i tried the camera app filters on the photos, still no use, in fact if i use that on MiNote10, then it destroys any competition;

              i did compare all phones i have on different settings, i tried auto, but most of the time i tested the Pro mode, bcoz the MiNote10 did set a quite extreme standard, of which i had no idea until i bought other flagships;

              yes, P40Pro can take awesome pics at night, if the object is let's say not further than 10~15meters away, then the pics look as if they were taken with daylight;
              but, for any other objects at night, Pro or Auto mode, doesn't matter, the pics have tons of artifacts and colors i don't know they came from;
              best result was in Auto mode, but rather by coincidence,50MP, ISO 65535 @1/17sec;
              even Samsung S20Ultra beats P40Pro at taking pics at night, and both phones have difficulties with focus at night;

              and then comes Xiaomi, not only the pics are better, you can zoom in too, and due to few artifacts the file size is way smaller at 108MP than P40Pro does at 50MP , we are talking here about 25% in file size difference;
              Xiaomi beats also the S20Ultra in file size and quality, daylight pics will be up to 30% bigger in file size on the S20Ultra;
              meanwhile S20Ultra can keep up with MiNote10 in daylight pics...but still not in the file size;

              guess i will have to waste some of my time and make a video comparing the pic and maybe video quality, this will make quite a lot of ppl cry :))

                  krissy, 18 Apr 2021ahh the feature that works with extreme low resolution and ... moreI am a Huawei user with a P30 Pro; and yes, I also dislike the smudged colors now and then.
                  What I tend to do is take RAW images, or with the Master AI switched off. Such images tend to look natural. Also, when you are taking night mode photos, Huawei totally nails the colors when you stick it onto a tripod, as it uses 12 to 25 seconds on the exposure. You can be impatient and use auto, and get a photo that can occasionally look totally wrecked, such as the colorful but smudged images at 409,600 ISO.

                  Xiaomi gets the colors right due to it preferring to adjust the images and take its time. However, Huawei likes to take the photo as fast as possible and many times forgets image colors. You can always tinker with the settings to counteract this.

                  Also.....what color temperature setting is your Huawei phone on? As Linus Tech Tips pointed at some ASUS phones, he hated their cameras until he realized that it was the default display color that was messing the photos up, colorwise.

                  To address the slow motion.....Well, there isn't much to say apart from that it's equally terrible across any phone, due to the incredibly fast speed the shutter has to take the frames at.

                    Shui8, 18 Apr 2021Again, your understanding & statements are very funny. ... moreahh the feature that works with extreme low resolution and requires a supernova to light up your moving target;
                    yea, totally useful in daily life, unlike getting the right colors in pictures - no one needs that right?

                      What the other guy mean are slow motion video, where P40 Pro can provide 7680fps & 1920fps @ 720p & 960fps @ 1080p. P40 still hold the top spot on that regards.

                        yea, only the thing with the sky can not be done with MiNote10 as it allows only 30sec exposure, and nothing beyond that;
                        but with the water, set the exposure time to let's say 1sec, and ISO....well depending on the light, 100 to 400, and you will get your silky water effect;

                        yea, just the software, all phones can do that...that is why neither S20Ultra nor P40Pro can use the full resolution that much in Pro mode, not as much as MiNote10 allows that, if only that phone could take as good videos as the P40pro or S20Ultra;
                        it is funny that p40Pro gets the colors right in videos, but can't in photos 😅
                        that is one of the reasons i can't use it for pics, bcoz then i would have to adjust all pics

                              the second closest phone to obtain quite good quality at night pics, would be the S20Ultra which slowly catches up to the quality level of Xiaomi Mi Note10;
                              if not for the videos that seem to stutter, MiNote10 would beat both of the other mentioned phones taking videos at night in 4K!
                              bcoz if i pause the video, MiNote10 has best quality, altho none of the phones takes a reasonable video at night;

                              i went for the P40pro thinking it can really take better pics than MiNote10, but the truth is, even phones with same camera can't 🤣 S20Ultra users will be crying right now, phone twice as expencive, not only takes worse pics and videos, but it's full of failed updates.
                              Yea, and P40Pro get's literally no updates.

                              Ofc i have to mention: P40Pro takes awesome videos at 4K, that video stabilization is out of this world, while it doesn't seem to have a setting for it 🤨. Unlocking is extremely fast, with same speed at night as on day, only the Mate10pro can unlock with it's finger print ID with same speed, but not face ID, P40Pro is number one.Unlocking S20Ultra is like a game of luck, it may unlock or it may not unlock, and the Face ID....is a joke.

The P40 is better at selfies and takes better photos in low light in automatic mode. On the other hand, the night mode of the P40 denature the scene. Once the night mode is activated on the Mi note 10, the quality of the photos is excellent in low light. So I tend to agree with your analysis.

                                      Cons :4200 mah battery only for a weight of 209 grs. No stereo speakers for a flagship. Selfie cam is ugly too long like s10 plus.

                                        pane, 26 Mar 2021Samsung s20 ultra and Mi 10 Pro features a similar 108 MP s... morehmm, yea i lived for a short while in the misconception that the S20Ultra uses the 12MP to take pics in 'photo' mode, but it seems it indeed uses the 108MP instead (if set to 'x1' which is default), and you can even watch jerry tearing down both S20ultra and Mi Note10, and he actually couldn't tell the 108MP cameras apart 😅 pretty much the exactly same senor, lenses may be different but who knows;
                                        yes, 12MP by the S20 vs 20MP by the Mi Note10 vs 8MP(or 10MP, one of those was 16:9) by the P40Pro;
                                        in daylight i have not noticed any probs with focusing on any of those phones, but at night only Mi Note10 could focus on objects - or rather light sources that are kilometers away;
                                        P40Pro takes okish pics at night if the objects are close range (max 10meters? less?) , then pics look like taken in daylight, but everything else looks extremely bad.

                                        What i would do, is to put the 108MP into the P40Pro instead of 50MP, reconfigure the camera app from Xiaomi to work on Huawei, and use speakers from some SONY phone = perfect phone;
                                        S20Ultra needs updates, if it gets those, it will be number one along with Mi Note10 if it comes to pic quality at day and night. Too bad i can't put here any samples of the pics.

                                        need to add, the video quality and stabilization @4k on theP40Pro is awesome!
