HUAWEI P40 Pro Depicted

A Deep Dive Onto the Groundbreaking Innovations that Make it the Latest Smartphone King from Huawei

Huawei recently launched globally the latest addition to its HUAWEI P series, the new flagship HUAWEI P40 Pro. Following its tradition of being a powerful smartphone with beautiful design, the HUAWEI P40 Pro packs powerful hardware and software along with an Ultra Vision Leica Quad camera system into a premium handset that is both elegant and functional. Each of its innovative features are designed to give consumers the most out of their smartphone, so let’s take a deeper look at them all. The HUAWEI P40 Pro will be available on shelves in Saudi Arabia on the 15th of April with pre-orders already started on the 5th of April.

Immersive ID Design
One of the most identifiable features of the HUAWEI P series has always been design. Available in a unique matte finish of Silver Frost and a gloss Black, the HUAWEI P40 Pro brings about an elegant simplicity.

The front of the phone is also a treat to the eyes. With the new HUAWEI Quad-Curve Overflow Display, the HUAWEI P40 Pro enjoys a display that is curved on all four sides, including the top and bottom, which is reminiscent of a water on the brim of overflowing from a cup, a futuristic design that seamlessly integrates into the phone’s unibody design. The craftsmanship also paves the way for more streamlined round corners for a more comfortable using experience, while the thin bezels allow for a more immersive viewing experience. 

The display is also a visual treat, thanks to its 90Hz refresh rate and TÜV Rheinland screen certification, which not only allows for more fluid and smooth display, while also ensuring low blue light emissions.

Unprecedented 5G prowess

Huawei is reputed for its innovations in the realm of 5G technology, for example the Kirin 990 5G chipset. Housed in the heart of the HUAWEI P40 Pro, this dedicated 5G chipset is one of the most sophisticated chipsets today. Manufactured with a cutting edge 7nm process, this chipset is responsible for providing highly competitive performance, energy efficiency and transistor density, while also ensuring efficient power management. Its unique architecture also provides support for 2G/3G/4G and 5G networks in both 5G Non-Standalone (NSA) and Standalone (SA) modes. Non Standalone (NSA) networks are the first wave of 5G networks, which uses existing 4G infrastructure. However, moving forward there will be a transition to the 5G Standalone (SA) network which provides users with much faster speeds, wider bandwidth and lower latency. Support for both NSA and SA networks is therefore crucial if you plan on getting the most out of your 5G smartphone.

In addition to 5G solutions, the HUAWEI P40 Pro also supports WiFi 6 Plus for 160MHz bandwidth and advanced 1024-QAM modulation to achieve the industry-leading peak theoretical transmission speed of 2400Mbps

The Ultra-Vision Leica Quad Camera

With each model introducing new features that revolutionize smartphone photography and videography, the HUAWEI P40 Pro is also expected to continue in the same footsteps. To achieve this, Huawei has built into its latest smartphone the Ultra-Vision Leica Quad Camera setup, which focuses more on the quality of and power of each lens rather than simply adding more megapixels. This setup includes a 50MP Ultra Vision Wide Camera, a 40MP Ultra-Wide Cine Camera, a 12MP 5x Optical Telephoto Camera and a ToF Camera, each of which ensure perfect shots in every scenario.

One of the most innovative features of the camera system however, is the Huawei Ultra Vision Wide Camera sensor, one of the largest smartphone camera sensors in the industry which measures 1/1.28-inch. This sensor ensures that every shot taken maintains crisp and exquisite detail every time, while also paving the way for shallow depth of field effects and a dynamic range for both dark and light scenes, while also removing unwanted image noise. The new Quad Bayer sensor also simultaneously supports 4-in-1 pixel binning and Full Pixel Octa PD AutoFocus technology, which further enhances image quality. This feature also ensures that cropping out an image does not affect the quality, with each crop capable of standing its own.

The HUAWEI P40 Pro, takes it a step further for a more refined image and reducing blur issues while zooming. Its SuperSensing SuperZoom lens is a system of prism and precision-engineered zoom components that support 5x optical zoom and 50X digital zoom for a more refined zooming experience. This is further complemented by OIS and AIS stabilization on the telephoto lens which improves the stability of zoom shots.

Additional camera features also include Ultra Slow-Motion video at 7680 fps, which plays the video back at 1/256 the actual speed. On the other hand, the Ultra-Wide Cine camera also allows for 4K UHD time-lapse videos.

Meanwhile, up front the HUAWEI P40 Pro is equipped with a front dual camera, which includes a 32MP AF Camera and the depth sensing camera, which is perfect for selfies, groupfies and even bokeh effects. Additionally, it also enables for Air Gesture that allow you control the phone by just waving your hand or taking a screenshot by making a fist. The front camera can also record 4K UHD videos with crisp details including skin texture, hair and even eye lashes.

Efficient Performance with a long lasting battery

The HUAWEI P40 Pro is also a performance focused phone, which is why it comes with a large capacity battery of 4200 mAh for all-day performance. In addition to long lasting performance, the large battery can also be charged back up quickly with the TÜV Rheinland safety-certified HUAWEI Wired 40W SuperCharge. Alternatively, the HUAWEI P40 Pro also supports HUAWEI’s fast wireless SuperCharge technology. The phone also incorporates an improved generation of reverse wireless charging capabilities that can charge other compatible devices more quickly and more efficiently

Audio Zoom and AI Golden Snap

The HUAWEI P40 Pro comes with an innovative Audio Zoom feature that allows users to amplify the audio of a subject by zooming into them during recording. Other innovative features include the AI Golden Snap, which uses AI algorithms to pick the best postures and facial expressions before shortlisting one to three frames. New features also include AI Remove Passerby and AI Remove Reflection, which allows you to remove and unwanted passerby from your shot and even glare from reflections. This is done by collecting scene information at the press of the shutter, which is then compared by AI algorithms to make the necessary changes for a perfect shot.

HUAWEI AppGallery

The HUAWEI P40 Pro comes with Huawei Mobile Services and HUAWEI AppGallery. The AppGallery, Huawei’s official app marketplace, is one of the top 3 app marketplaces globally. It comes with a wide range of global and local apps that users can enjoy and also provides users with full-cycle security and protection system. The HUAWEI AppGallery is available in more than 170 countries/ regions with 400 million monthly active users globally.

The HUAWEI P40 Pro is packed with a wide range of powerful features that are aimed at improving user experience in all aspects, be it for performance, connectivity, photography or even design, making it one of the most innovative smartphones to be launched this season.
