We could have this phone all over the world with Google on it if it wasnt for Trump .

You're right Ben, Google Play is going to be main deciding factor for most people in buying the p40 pro or any recent Huawei/Honor devices. The Huawei app gallery still cannot replicate the apps in Google Play. I for sure don't want to pay so much for a phone only to download apps from 3rd party stores. This phone will however do very well in China as they don't use Google Play. Yes, the cameras do look awesome though.

There was an article that said Google may soon start adding its apps on the App Gallery. The ban was against using GMS but the actual apps (running on HMS) should be fine. So Google can still use the app gallery but then they need to come on board to be willing to develop it for HMS core. If they can do it for Apple's ios they can do it for Huawei. You can still access Google stuff on a website. So an app is then possible just using HMS. Google should just do it still since the apps then reach a wider audience.

Your right, US monopolies are scary. Google took GMS from Turkey(an entire country!) because they didn’t want to pay the fine for anticompetitive behaviour. They are also working on a law that allows the us to decide to whom and how much every chip manufacturing company on the world using US equipment(and that’s everybody!) is allowed to sell. They can completely control foreign companies that way.

But I wouldn't trust a government that blocks any kind of social media because they don't want people to know the truth or communicate with each other freely. I personally couldn't imagine living in that kind of society. If someone made a comment to the president of China that person would probably disappear or be killed or even imprisoned. But the news media here can make fun of the president in belittle him and they have the right to because it's called freedom of speech. A lot of people don't like the USA and I can say that probably goes for a lot of other countries but something we have that a lot of other countries don't have is a constitution with states we have freedom of speech in a right to bear arms. I'll take that any day over a communist or socialist government.

Huawei phones are locked and use Kirin so having custom development will never happen unless Huawei (they totally can..) release an opensource dev kit with unlock access.

Heyy brooo.... such a love time.... im happy to seems you again with full tech.. 😊😊❤️❤️

Hey man, great review!!! Please, answer me some questions. How can you alternate between recent apps, is there any gesture to do it? And about the navigation bar from android 10, is there an option to activate that feature on P40 Pro? What you did to deal with google services lockdown? Is that ok doesn't have it? I really loved that phone, but I use all services from google, like gmail, calendar, productive suite, keep, maps, drive, youtube, and so on... Is there any advantage in have an android phone without google services? Maybe could be better for me buy another phone or is this way to skip the google lockdown definitive and debbuged? Thanks

So the only upgrade is the better camera with 100x zoom and a Kirin 990 that supports 5G right? I ask because I currently have the P30 Pro and I'm wondering if I should upgrade

Impressive design and camera 👌

Great channel ben

i totally agree with you, azmaing phone without google. US is making things difficult for people who wants to use huawei phone

hey Ben, I am and have been an iPhone user since the 3GS device was out. I'm thinking about getting the P40 pro as I'm getting bored of using apple. Do you think this wouldn't be a good time to get Huawei as they're just starting to expand and I've never used google services or would you recommend I go the Samsung route?

did you got google voice match working? or google maps on background usage?

Quick question... I played some games from play store which I know the games can also be installed and played without GMS... But if I need to purchase the in-game content...will it be problematic? And I'd so love to own this but the fact about GMS is really slowly fading my interest for it...either going to go between P40 Pro or Find X2 Pro.. i just love the display and the camera is great too despite the lacks of wireless charging...

Any chance of a P40 Pro+ vs Oppo Find X2 Pro (my next likely Note10+ replacement) but which?

staroceanxc I don’t think it’s brainlessly bashing - I’ve heard this advantage of swiping from the edge of the screen for other phones and products from other reviewers. Personally (as the owner of a phone with a curved screen) I don’t find it advantageous for swiping and I would prefer if we went back to flat screens again, as I find using apps like KZread a pain when a screen is too curved. It’s hard to pick up and put down your phone without accidentally activating UI elements on the screen when the glass is curved. Add to this that decent curved screen protectors are expensive and harder to fit than a glass screen protector for a flat screen, and the displays themselves are also more expensive to replace.
