First Huawei P40 Pro photos surface

22 January 2020
The phone is inside a custom case meant to conceal its identity and tries especially hard to hide the camera.

Sort by:

I hate curved edges, notches, round corners, tall-narrow screens. So Meizu 16T is my phone

    Hmm, at a glance it looks similar to my Huawei Mate 20 Pro. But we'll see when it arrives!

        very well simply just dont buy it then n no one is forcing u to
        it was not solely made for u rather than for those who want

            and buttons usually just work with one action and immediately,
            This crap of having to double tap an area to activate first , then look to find the location of the on screen slider and then adjust is just utter rubbish.
            sometimes being trendy is just change for the sake of change and not good progress at all.
            No buttons, no buy.

All the buttons , only the headphone jack is worn out (that should tell you how much music i listend to on it) and i changed the battery in it once. And if this keeps up I will stick with my phone some more ...

                Peachy001, 22 Jan 2020Agreed. Can't stand curved screens. well said they suck

                  Don't mind me, just a rare specimen that actually likes the design

On Mate 30 Pro Huawei should've at least added pressure sensors on the edge of the display if they would go for a completely button-less experience, but they didn't. Having tried Mate 30 Pro in the store, while I liked the fact you don't have to click the specific part of the side frame to to open the volume menu, occasionally the display doesn't register my double tap trigger action and overall it wasn't something I would call super reliable.

                            I mean think about it, if they think removing buttons is a good idea then why are they bringing them back in P40 series?

I'm not Japanese by the way, I assume that you guessed so from my username but "Tagataka" is a random word that popped up in my mind when I was deciding my nickname for my GSMArena account.

                                impossible that im the only one who thinks this way

                                if i were to press 10x for the volume rocker buttons in a day for say
                                a total of 2years n which means 365x10x2=7300x buttons pressed

                                i dont think the buttons will survive for another 1-2years
                                in fact was hoping for this thing long before being done

                                i was hoping that one day there s no physical power at all
                                which simply means that my phone can last much longer

                                  P series are great ... but insanely over priced. I'm out ...
                                  It's silly to pay more than $300 for flagships.

                                    patiently waiting for the word "leak" to die.

                                      Nick Tagataka, 22 Jan 2020"huawei fans said it was too ugly" I mean, when S20's firs... moreI mean they still said that after the leaks with correct arrangement (without dual-tone however) it's a rectangle in the corner not a square in the middle that's like saying the mate 20 pro took after the lumia 1020 but with a square.
                                      I don't support the whole copy argument I'm just calling out the bias of huawei.
                                      If they call themselves trendsetters for the note 10+ similar layout to the p30, Samsung has the right to call themselves their sun god.
                                      Anyway enough of this pointless squabble may I know if you are an indigene of Japan?

                                        [deleted post]"huawei fans said it was too ugly"
                                        I mean, when S20's first leaked render came out, everything inside the camera bump was misaligned and it did look absolutely terrible, so it wasn't just Huawei fans criticising its design but literally everyone with decent aesthetic sense. But then the following leaks proved the first one to be inaccurate and the latest design leak (or concept? Idk) now shows that it will actually look more like Mate 20 Pro's square camera + a periscope lens underneath, hence is more or less comparable to what Huawei is bringing with P40 Pro. In most cases if one doesn't like S20's camera design he/she doesn't like P40's as well - at least that's what I'm seeing in the tech community.

                                        "the s20u looks better than the p40 pro or premium"
                                        I disagree, but you're entitled to your own opinion.
