Editor Rating
3.4/5

The HUAWEI P40 comes in five monochrome colourways that were chosen to evoke the simplicity and purity of nature: Deep Sea Blue, Ice White, Black, Blush Gold, and Silver Frost. Grace and tranquilly are present in every tone, and they are emphasised by the matt reflective surface. Whether you’re shooting in low light or broad daylight, up close or far away, the Ultra Vision Leica Triple Camera is there to help. Don’t stress about it; just snap some photos of whatever it is that makes you happy and use those to represent how you’re feeling.

Bottom Line

In general, the new smartphone performs admirably. It comes with a high-quality camera that gives you a wide range of shooting options. The battery life, however, falls short of expectations.
