How Huawei P40 Pro’s specs compare to its rivals: Pixel 4 XL, iPhone 11 Pro, Galaxy S20
Huawei is playing to win with the abandon of its P40 Pro superphone. The hardware includes the phone-maker’s winning camera edifying of 10x optical zoom, a generously sized 6.58-inch veil and a 4,200-mAh battery, which is all impressively crammed into a comparatively compact handset. But it’s hardly the only high-end phone around. In fact, the premium smartphone playing field is only becoming more crowded.
Samsung released its boundary-pushing Galaxy S20 Ultra in February, which takes 108-megapixel photos and introduced 100x zoom to the humankind. Apple meanwhile released the iPhone 11 Pro Max last September, and it boasts impressive photo and video chops along with facial scanning. But the Google Pixel 4 XL has a pretty big designate advantage ($899 when it launched) along with comparable specs but a smaller veil and battery. Meanwhile, Huawei’s P40 Pro has a sparkling high price tag, starting at a converted price of $1100, £910 or AU$1,820. It shipped in June but isn’t available officially in the US.
Of flows, it’s difficult to talk about a new Huawei phoned without addressing the elephant in the room: the conspicuous need of Google Mobile Services and its suite of widely used apps such as Gmail and Google Maps, as well as the Play Store, which has been replaced by Huawei’s own fledgling ecosystem. For its part, the Chinese phone-maker has been racing to discontinuance the gaping void. The company says it’s making mountainous investments into developing its own Huawei Mobile Services, and has courted developers to get apps and services for its own app store. Meanwhile, the iPhone’s iOS 13 and the pure Android 10 of Google’s Pixel are the gold execrable for phone software.
