REVIEW

VERDICT

If you’re picking the P40 Pro Plus up, it’ll be for that camera, and specifically, the 10x zoom, 240mm equivalent telephoto lens. Virtually everything else about it is almost identical to the significantly cheaper P40 Pro - from the great design, screen, and main camera, through to the software limitations that result from no Google services. If you’re a Huawei fan and you aren’t swimming in cash, definitely get the P40 Pro. That said, the Pro Plus is the new best-in-class smartphone camera to beat.

FOR

• Best smartphone camera system out now
• Premium design and finish
• Punchy and smooth 90Hz screen

AGAINST

• No Google Play Services
• No Wear OS watch support
• Expensive
