I use this phone with HarmonyOS 4 and GMS installed. It is truly wonderful. The camera is excellent and if it doesn't take pictures the way I wanted, they aren't too difficult to edit since Huawei phones don't really have a signature saturation on pictures.

      I have had this phone for well over a year. It's specification is superb! I don't miss Google one bit, in fact I'm glad to be without it. I am able to use the phone without resorting to Google apps and find I have everything I need. Bully for Huawei!

        I paid for this phone 300 euros, used. Downgraded to EMUI 10 from EMUI 12, installed GMS thru LZ Play, excellent upper mid ranger in 2023

                One of the best phone ever release by huawei is P40 Pro. This is a masterpiece. I even junk my P50 Pro for this.. P40 pro is much better than the latest of huawei nowadays.

You didn't know that when you bought it? Too fresh information for you?
                      PS: it was launched without google services, didn't loose support, so it is like buying an iPhone and giving it bad review for not having google play store, as you do not like app market.

                          I will not recommend bcoz I bought it and doesn't support Google play services. Second Huawei have its out app gallery where you will not get all the apps. Apps updation issue is there. Third when we are playing some video and there is some message in background in some other app for 2 seconds sound of that video like got muted. I approach them they said we are trying to increase sound transfer rate in our devices. In the nutt shell choose other device than Huawei

                            Smartphone users need more OS's than just that android.

With NewPipe you don't have possibility to login with your account and look for the videos you stored within your library. Just playing videos, so you need to decide which one suits you better.

                                    never tried this brand because no rooting. i have tons of software requiring root, starting with AdGuard (VPN already allocated), AppOps, enable call recording, f-droid, debloat, xposed etc.
                                    but I admire they are without Google, great advantage.
                                    sadly i will never try them because of noroot.
