    Emeline Shaw, 27 Mar 2020Wow that's amazing! I use the Galaxy Note 8:)You'll get massive improvements in low light image quality with gcam almost rivaling that of last year flagship models.

      Am i the only one that prefer Huawei p30 pro's notch over this massive punch hole?

        gustavecrocodile, 27 Mar 2020It is P40 Pro+ not P40 ProMy bad;)

          Anonymous, 27 Mar 2020Isn't this phone (Huawei P40 Pro) 999 euros?My bad this comment belongs to P40 pro+;)

            Why do you people like a massive hole in your display. It's just an ugly eyesore and even removing the front cameras would be better.

                Huawei P40 pro probably a half cooked phone, no wonder it didn't have a Dxomarks test yet, even if it test Huawei probably send Dxomarks a special camera firmware P40 Pro to test, just like last year P30 pro

I never h... moreEver since Google unveiled how they code their Portrait modes and whatnot, developers have been able to port the Google Pixel Camera app (or DARN near close to that particular app) to other phones. It has proven to improve drastically the cameras for phones like LG V20/30/40/50, Razer phones, Umidigi phones, and OnePlus phones. It doesn't require root and it's a simple download/install. What phone do you use? You can Google search if your phone has a GCam port.

                    Nick Tagataka, 27 Mar 2020Honestly I don't really mind about Mi Note 10's stock camer... moreWhat is this Gcam that everyone is talking about? I never heard of it but recently I saw it mentioned in many comments on the site.

GCam ports had some issues with colour processing and speed on Mi Note 10, but this one is a high end device with SD865 therefore should pack enough power to process 27MP photos in an instant.
                              Also coming from a regular P30, I never really cared about a video recording capability because I just don't shoot videos so often (and besides, when I really want to, I have S10 with me as a primary device). Proper flagships nowadays are way too expensive nowadays, and I'm ready to make some minor compromises for lower price.

                                Allergia, 27 Mar 2020Totally agree with you. All this go at 1200 EUR price level... moreI shall be go for a gaming pc and a good mid range phone for that money as I find it nonsense to spend that much money on a freaking phone:)

                                  So conclusion is that this phone is without google services (totally unusable) , mono speaker, has a SD quality in Netflix, and it deserved a score 4.4 and a phone (S20 Ultra) with google services, HD Netflix, and stereo speakers has a 4.0 score? Something is not correct here in the scoring methodology.

                                    Also the camera processing needs improvement.

                                    Hopefully the new upgrade fixes some issues.

                                        Hey GSMarena, this is not the first Huawei flagship with autofocus selfie camera. The Mate 9/ 9 Pro had it before.
