Latest Price Update for Huawei P40 Pro Plus
Huawei's P series devices have always been top-notch in their segment. The brand consistently delivers outstanding performance, exceptional battery life, and notably, the most innovative camera systems in the market. The Huawei P40 Pro Plus is no exception.
The Huawei P40 Pro Plus 8G/512G variant is currently priced at 24,990,000 VNĐ.
With a relatively high price tag of nearly 25 million, is the Huawei P40 Pro Plus truly a worthwhile investment? Let's find out.
Evaluating the Design of Huawei P40 Pro Plus
The design of the Huawei P40 Pro Plus is strikingly beautiful, closely resembling that of the Huawei P40 Pro. It stands out with its curved edge display, surrounded by meticulously crafted aluminum frame, exuding elegance.
The overall dimensions of the Huawei P40 Pro Plus are quite large, measuring 158.2 x 72.6 x 9mm and weighing 226g. Therefore, it may not be the ideal choice for those who prefer smaller phones. However, due to its curved design, the P40 Pro Plus still offers a comfortable grip with flat rails and a relatively slim profile.
One of the highlights of the P40 Pro Plus is the material used on the back. The Pro Plus utilizes premium ceramic, which is durable and more luxurious, while the P40 Pro uses traditional glass material. Huawei also claims that the back of the Pro Plus is nearly as hard as sapphire glass, providing increased durability against impacts, several times over.
Additionally, the device is equipped with advanced IP68 dust and water resistance.
Evaluating the Display Quality of Huawei P40 Pro Plus
The display of the Huawei P40 Pro Plus employs OLED technology, 90Hz at FHD+ resolution of 2,640 x 1,200 with a 6.58-inch size, looking quite stunning. Despite the current trend of premium phones following the 120Hz standard, this doesn't significantly impact the screen experience of the device. The display quality on the P40 Pro Plus is highly praised for its wide and lifelike imagery, vibrant on every frame.
The screen design features a hole-punch, curved edge display with a hole-punch selfie camera at the top left corner of the screen. Due to the curved screen, it offers excellent viewing angles, as well as outdoor visibility and a luxurious swiping experience along the curved edges on all four sides.
Perhaps the only drawback of the P40 Pro Plus screen is the pill-shaped selfie camera, which may cause discomfort for some viewers and cut off a considerable portion of the displayed images.
Evaluating the Camera of Huawei P40 Pro Plus
It can be said that in 2020, the Huawei P40 Pro Plus was the best camera phone, and even now, the camera system of the P40 Pro Plus remains highly commendable. The P series has always been Huawei's flagship product focusing on photography. This is evident on the P40 Pro Plus with a total of seven cameras, each with its own focal point.
The main camera is 50MP, f/1.9 with OIS stabilization, capturing highly detailed 12MP sharp images by default, with natural and rich colors.
The ultra-wide camera, 40MP with an aperture of f/1.8, automatically focuses to produce sharp panoramic photos.
Unlike most other phones, the P40 Pro Plus features two telephoto cameras, both with 8MP resolution. The first telephoto camera has a 3x zoom and an f/2.4 lens, while the second camera has a 10x optical zoom, combined with an f/4.4 aperture. Both cameras have OIS and ToF, a 3D depth sensor.
Meanwhile, the front camera consists of 2 lenses with a resolution of 32MP each and a secondary depth sensor for impactful selfie photos.
The Huawei P40 Pro Plus excels in close-up and macro photography as well as capturing wide landscapes in various lighting conditions. Additionally, it boasts excellent low-light capabilities and a 10x optical zoom feature – something many other phones haven't quite mastered.
Regarding video recording capabilities, the Pro Plus supports 4K resolution and up to 60 frames per second.
Evaluating the Processor of Huawei P40 Pro Plus
The device is powered by the Kirin 990 processor with 8GB of RAM, enabling the fastest 5G network connectivity. The P40 Pro Plus outperforms the Pro series with up to 512GB of storage capacity and supports a Nano memory card of up to 256GB.
The Huawei P40 Pro Plus boasts processing speeds comparable to other flagship phones like the Galaxy S20 or iPhone 11. It can handle tasks efficiently for both work and entertainment without overheating.
Evaluating the Software of Huawei P40 Pro Plus
The Huawei P40 Pro Plus runs on Android 10 but lacks Google services, including apps like Gmail or Google Drive, due to restrictions imposed by the US government amid security concerns. For many users, this might be the primary reason not to purchase this phone.
P40 Pro Plus users will utilize Huawei's own ecosystem, where the AppGallery serves as a replacement for the Play Store for mobile apps. However, the number of apps available on Huawei is still quite limited.
Evaluating the Battery Life of Huawei P40 Pro Plus
The battery life on the P40 Pro Plus is excellent with a 4200mAh battery, ensuring extended usage time of up to 24 hours. Additionally, the device features AI technology to optimize power usage for better battery efficiency.
The P40 Pro Plus is equipped with 40W fast charging, supporting both wired and wireless charging, along with convenient reverse charging functionality.
Conclusion
Despite its outstanding specifications and excellent camera, the lack of Google Play services makes the Huawei P40 Pro Plus seem like less of a desirable choice in Vietnam specifically. Instead, for nearly 25 million VND, the Galaxy S21 Ultra or iPhone 12 Pro would likely be more worthwhile purchases.
