Unboxing the HUAWEI P40 PRO #HUAWEIP40Pro
What it’s like to unbox the Best Smartphone Camera in the World – the HUAWEI P40 PRO!
Content is king. As a journalist, blogger and digital content producer, I know that the quality of visuals I use directly impacts the quality of my work regularly. I’m always on the lookout for the best camera/phone (six of one, half a dozen of another). I know that the better my images/videos are, the better I will be to tell and share stories. I have tested out the HUAWEI P40 Pro in Silver Frost for the past few weeks and am impressed by the innovative, refractive matte glass finish that is both dust and water-resistant, and for those of you with kids, you’ll be pleased to know that it doesn’t hold fingerprints.
The phone will eventually be available in black as well.
Huawei is known for its leadership role in mobile photography. The HUAWEI P40 Series delivers another award-winning series of smartphones – named ‘Best Photo Smartphone’ by TIPA and receiving a top DxOMark score of 128 (P40 Pro).
I had heard fantastic things about the Huawei phones from my family that live in Pakistan and elsewhere in the world. Seeing the Quad Vision Leica Camera for myself, showed me exactly what the fuss was all about. The picture quality, depth perception and superior selfies (you all know I love me a good selfie) are impressive. You cannot beat the nighttime photography.
Inspired by nature, the Quad-Curve Overflow 90 Hz Display provides an immersive view over the entire OLED screen. Unlike other phones on the market, the Huawei P40 uses the whole screen and does not block out the bottom one or two inches.
I own a DSLR camera, but the picture quality does not even come close to the camera, not the HUAWEI P40.
I’d watch this company closely as they’re shaking up the Canadian market in a big way with smartphones, PCs, wearables, tablets and audio.
The HUAWEI P40 Pro features the Leica Quad Camera’s evolution with a more powerful Ultra-Wide Cine Camera and ToF Camera alongside 50x SuperSensing Zoom.
HUAWEI P40 Pro brings faraway subjects up close with 5x optical zoom, 10x hybrid zoom and 50x maximum digital zoom. For the first time, the 5x Optical Telephoto Camera in the HUAWEI P40 Pro includes an RYYB colour filter array to boost light intake and improve the quality of zoomed shots.
Battery life:
If you’re a SUPER phone user like me (it’s a thing, I learnt this from my phone company), you’ll know and appreciate how important it is to have good battery life. Do you want to know the craziest part? Ordinarily, when I plug in my phone, I’m accustomed to leaving it there overnight as I expect it to take hours and hours. I was downright shocked to see how quickly the HUAWEI P40 Pro charges with its 4200 mAh battery, which can be recharged from 0 to 70% in just 30 minutes + 40W SuperCharge. You HAVE GOT TO watch my video to see it for yourself.
The other epic thing I cannot stop geeking out over is that the Wireless Reverse Charge technology. That means that if I am out with the kids, the family or friends and someone else’s HUAWEI phone’s battery starts to die, I can wirelessly RECHARGE THEIR PHONE!!!! How insane is that?
There are so many amazing features of the phone that I’m still learning about, and it continues to amaze me. Last night, I learnt that I could measure distance and height by clicking from one point to another. This type of thinking-outside-of-the-box innovation continues to impress me.
One concern I had was switching over from another phone brand, is my ability to get my apps on this device. There are three main methods with Petal Search, Phone Clone, and the Huawei AppGallery store.
Be sure to watch the video below and share this blog post with your friends/family/followers, and when you decide to jump ship from whatever device you’re on and switch to a HUAWEI P40 Pro… I’ll just say you’re welcome! If you would still like to LEARN MORE about the HUAWEI P40 PRO, click here.

Wow! There are so many incredible side to this phone I never knew about. I always heard the camera was amazing but I learned a lot from your post. I’m due for a new phone soon and I’ve been looking at different brands. Thanks so much Fariha for this great and detailed review and awesome unboxing!
