The Huawei P40 Pro + has been on the market in China for a few days. And despite various legal problems, the handset is set for international availability on June 25. Given that the company has everything to do with it, it should come as no surprise that availability outside of its home country will be limited to select markets, including the UK and Europe.
It will of course not be available through the standard channels in the USA. In addition, given the hardware manufacturer’s ongoing struggle with the U.S. government, there will be no Google services. Instead, like other Huawei flagships, it will fall back on the company’s own version of Android, without major applications such as Gmail, Google Maps and the Play Store.
However, for most other purposes and purposes, Huawei has failed, but has not failed. Despite the enormous pressure, the company continues to produce some of the most advanced mobile hardware on the market. The most important thing here is a fantastic camera module. As in almost every other part of the smartphone ecosystem, it is becoming increasingly difficult to stand out from the crowd in terms of imaging. In most cases, Huawei did it with the P40 Pro +.
For starters, there is a 10x (!) Optical zoom (with up to 100x digital printing and all associated image problems), which extends the limits of the possibilities of a handset considerably. There are a total of five cameras, including the 10x 8 megapixel lens. The others include a 50-megapixel standard, a 40-megapixel ultra-wide, an 8-megapixel standard with triple optics and a flight time sensor for an increasingly important depth detection.
The handset will cost ~ $ 1,658 if launched later this month. This is the latest sign that Huawei will continue to progress even as international pressure increases. However, until the company manages to completely replace Google’s in-house offerings, the current setup will likely be too much of a compromise for many potential buyers.
