The Huawei P40 series of phones are here, and as usual, they are equipped with some of the best cameras in the industry. However, the big question from the crowd is if the phones can do just fine without Google services. And the answer is a mixed bag because America’s ban has really crippled Huawei sales, and the other day, Xiaomi shipped more phones than the Chinese leader in telecoms.
That aside, the P40 comes in 4 variants: there is the Lite version that went live earlier, the normal P40, P40 Pro and P40 Pro+. Here are their specs, side by side:
