Have the Mate 40 pro since some weeks, and I'm loving it. [...] I love the software (who cares about google), most of the apps i need and use work perfect. [...]
[...] Amazing hardware quality and unbelievable battery life. And I own a cheap one (Mate 20 Lite)! [...]
Typing this on my Mate 40 pro, I have tried replacing it several times but every shortlisted candidate comes up short in one way or another especially on usability (face id, gestures...). My next phone will definitely be from the Mate series, just waiting for the new Huawei processors to get better and maybe for the price to drop a little.
Using phone mate 40 pro Suparsaf style love you bro ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️. [...] Suparsaf style lover😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎.
I have owned a Samsung Galaxy since the very first on I now have Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra. I recently Took out a contract with the Huawei Mate 40 Pro and believe me it is the best phone I have ever had I am sticking to Huawei from now on.

i have a mate 30 pro and love it, my issue is the price of the mate 40 pro .... given its lack of google should it be that expensive?
Though slightly technical Google Play Store can be installed (side loaded) on the Huawei Mate 40 Pro. I'm currently using a Huawei P30 Pro and had no problem installing the Google Play Store on this device, same configuration as the Mate 40 Pro.
I can't speak about the Mate 40 Pro, but I am an owner of the Mate 20 Pro and a Matepad Pro and I can vouch for Huawei's ecosystem. [...] Also I have Gmail on my phone and use Huawei mail on my tablet and I honestly feel like Huawei's mail app works better and also looks better, but that's just my opinion. [...]
I honestly am considering buying a Huawei mate 30 pro and using it as a daily driver Amd the reason? There's literally nothing on the market that is even close to my wallet being able to afford and me actually liking it that's newer
I've got the Mate 40 pro for 1 week now. All I can say is how good the camera and AI do, this is insane. However without Gapps it's sad, I cannot access photography apps I bought on the store. [...]
I am interested in the Mate40 Pro+ and you have just pushed me to the buy button.. O M G I just found out the the NEW phone I was looking at was a knockoff fake. [...]
