I thought well before I bought this phone. I wanted a top-notch phone on every basis: a big enough screen, a fast chipset, enough memory, a big battery, fast charging of the same. What the Mate 40 Pro is at is failing to connect to other devices. There are few people around me who have Huawei, and I don't have Huawei devices at home either (neither TV nor radio, nor anything else).
The quality of the phone is extraordinary, both the materials used and their assembly. Every time it is taken in the hands, the pleasure of touch is felt under the fingers. The only downside is the protective foil across the screen. It is not of the best quality, and it does not extend from edge to edge.
I expect at least 8/256 memory from an expensive phone, so all of the smaller capacity dropped out of the game. When I run out of free space, Huawei has a cloud at a cheap price.
The screen is very good. It's not the brightest on the market, but my eyes don't hurt when I watch it in the evening. Overall, I am pleased with the display of the image. The screen is too curved. Often the content is "curved" and not seen best. The worst is when the keyboard is turned on, so you need to press the keys on the edge.
The battery lasts up to three days, if I don't use it at all. With a little use, I charge it every two days, and if I really use it, I charge it for a day and a half. Charging is lightning fast. For up to 40 minutes from 0 to 100 percent.
The camera is great. I haven't made a bad one yet, and I've made a few hundred of them, in various conditions.
As for apps..., the vast majority of them are available on AppGallery and APKPure. If they are not there, then they cannot be installed. I know there is also a routing option, but I didn’t go that route. And this is how everything works for me. Okay, Google apps don't work, but the rest works.
Overall, I am satisfied with the choice.
