P40 Pro Vs P40 Pro + - Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers

Is there really that big a different between those two??
So far I can see there is no big different between the camera ??

999 euro for the pro.
1399 euro for the pro plus.
5 things are different:
The pro+ comes with 256gb extra storage, totalling 512gb. Since neither phones support microsd cards, it might be worth to upgrade for extra storage.
The pro+ comes with a ceramic back, instead of glass. So it wont shatter or break like glass, and can also apprantly be even more scratch resistant, while retaining the smoothness of glass.
The pro+ comes with a extra camera, that does 3x optical zoom.
The pro+ replaces the 5x optical zoom of the pro to a 10x optical zoom camera.
The pro+ comes with a little bit faster wireless charging.
Earlier post suggested that it also comes with 4gb extra ram, totalling at 12gb, this is not the case.
It's really personal preference if you want one of these features. Since the p40 pro and pro+ do not support microsd, i might need the extra storage for the games series and the lot of photo's i take. I'm quite a power user.
The extra zoom will also be quite special and certainly unique in a phone, until a competitor ofcource adds it to their phone as well. But i can see it staying a premium feature at a premium price for the whole of 2020 and first half of 2021.
The ceramic back is also welcome, since i shattered the back glass of 2 phones already while riding a rollercoaster, while i never had this problem with the iphones i owned, but never shattered front displays on any phone. I don't like to use cases. i have good insurance.
I can't care much about the extra wireless charging speed though.
So for me, while it is a extreme price, i will get the pro +. But...only if i see the normal pro thats almost released can properly handle google apps with everything working. Time will tell when users get their hands on the devices.

You can also add an NM card in the second SIM slot. The biggest you get is 256GB. If you want to add the NM but also need two SIM-cards, there is the option of using eSIM. Thirdparty NM just go up to 128GB for about 40€ and Huawei itself produces 256GB for 100€.
I think it isnot worth to pay an extra 400€, if you don't need the camera and the wireless charging with 40W but the extra space.
Just my opinion.

you need a new reader then as well(unless phone-only usage), and NM cards are double the price of microsd cards, and dont come in higher then 256gb at retail stores at least.
No i'd rather go for 400 euro more for 256gb extra AND then get the other features as well.

Mate 9 Pro released today in Scandinavia

If you as me is loving the design of the Mate 9 Porsche but not the price, there is good news. The Mate 9 Pro has been released today in Scandinavia at a event held in Copenhagen. The Mate 9 Pro is basically the Mate 9 Porsche without the Porsche branding, and at around half the price.
The Mate 9 Pro was released in China a few weeks ago, but it is great to see it released in Europe.
Avalible for preorder now, delivery starts on 20. of december.
Price 5.999 DKK (appx. 800 EUR) for 128 GB version. Preorders includes a pair of Huawei AM185 Active Noise Cancelling earphones.
Full specs: http://consumer.huawei.com/dk/support/products/technicalspecs/mate9pro-dk.htm
It's a nice phone but the screen size is to small for my tastes. Hopefully they will still release the same specs with a 5.9 inch form factor.
Sent from my Nexus 6 using XDA-Developers mobile app
Yep, 5.9 a must have!

Please post sample photos when you receive it [emoji6]
I like a Mate series screen to be big ha ha
Quad HD would have been nice but full HD is good too in real life if you don`t use VR.
Any online shop taking preorders?

Currently it is only available for pre-order. It will be delivered from december 20. It can be pre-ordered from most of the mobile service providers and a few tech-shops like http://www.elgiganten.dk/product/mo...T9PGY/huawei-mate-9-pro-smartphone-128-gb-gra and http://www.wupti.com/produkter/mobil,-gps-og-foto/mobiltelefoner/huawei/huawei-mate-9-pro-gold. I don't think they ship internationally thu, and the mobile service providers definitely dont.
The phone will probably be available from more shops after it becomes available for delivery.
It doesn't support SD card slot though. Neither does the Porsche edition apparently. They claim it's due to support for 3G/4G on the second SIM but from what I understand the regular Mate 9 does support both. Just wanted to throw that out there.
I'm currently strongly considering picking it up but I'm deeply concerned about dev support considering the Kirin SoC, multiple SKUs with varying specs and potentially few devs picking up the device due to price and availability.
The pro variant including porsche design scored less in performance and graphics compared to the full fledged Mate 9.
So choose what you want in your Mate 9. Performance or Looks.

That's a given. HIgher resolution display and the same chip in a bigger device usually gives a higher thermal headroom resulting in better benchmark scores but the difference should be negligible.

You know , I sold my Mate 9 for the only purpose of buying the Pro variant with 6gb/128 configuration.
Well until someone confirms that we can get a pro with Google play installed officially.

Well, as this thread indicates, the Pro can be bought with Google Play installed
(However, it will be released on December 20th, so that's a long way to go if you intend to install the Scandinavian ROM on what I assume is a Chinese variant?)
In fact, If I buy the Mate 9, I can only buy the Pro unless I buy from another EU country. The regular Mate 9 has not been launched in Scandinavia which disappointed many and they said at the time that they had no intentions of bringing it here. Fast forward three weeks and the Pro was announced to launch and the Pro will be the only Mate 9 variant in the Scandinavian market. So I'm guessing that the Pro might only be on the market in China and Scandinavia which makes me question the development for the device :/
It saddens me a bit that the Pro will actually be a step back in some regards compared to the regular variant: no SD card slot and slightly decreased SoC performance (as you mention), fewer color variants (only two colors for this market: gold and grey) - and some would say the fingerprint scanner moving to the front is a downgrade as well. I also saw some disappointment in the AMOLED display not being a 6" (or larger) one; the complaint being they wanted an actual big phone but I don't mind too much personally. I have a 5.2" device now and it already slips out of some of my pockets due to the size, so a 6" behemoth wouldn't help in that department
They probably couldn't source a decent AMOLED display at that size although I'm curious as to how well calibrated the display is. Huawei and other Chinese manufacturers haven't been known for their attention to that kind of detail. Samsung, the Pixel and the OnePlus 3(T) have well calibrated AMOLED displays but the rest of the market seems to neglect that.
Call me guilty, I put my Pixel XL for sale and bought a Mate 9 (second time after the gold M9) with my favorite color Space Grey (no more silly black borders).

Congratz! I knew you would come back...
Well, I bit the bullet and pre-ordered the Huawei Mate 9 Pro in Space Grey. So I'll be getting a nice Christmas present.
I just hope development for this device will pick up because it will certainly prolong the life of the device; however it does seem from reviews that it's a great device.
I'm coming from an LG G2 which has been somewhat of an underground success with a fantastic developer community around it, so I doubt any non-Samsung/Nexus/Pixel/OnePlus device can live up to that but hopefully it will be enough
I have the Porsche Design and placed alongside my mate 9 the screen size difference is negligible due to the on screen navigation buttons on the mate 9.

More than 6GB, it's the memory upgrade to 128 GB that I'm more interested in. Although it has expandable storage, the MMC cannot be formatted as exfat or NTFS. Hence, file size is restricted to below 4GB which means we can't store any 4K content on the card. Similarly, due to that restriction, we also cannot make the MMC behave as internal memory.
But man, the phone feels so good to hold. The steel colour reminds me of my old Nokia N8. I'm half tempted to buy it immediately but then think about Nokia 9 that may release in 2-3 months. Ah choices, choices.

This is so true. The phone actually reminded me of the N8 too, metal and sturdy. Nostalgia. You are very right about the internal memory too but i dont think i would put any 4k content on my phone
The N9 is probably more than 2-3 months away. They may announce it in MWC, that in Feb end. Considering HMD's time to market add two more months to that. Also i really dont like the finger print reader on the back one of the reason i am not looking at the Galaxy or the Notes of this generation.

Yeah, you're right, it makes more sense to release it in MWC or even later with the 845 chip. They definitely can't sell a flagship with 835 in 2018. So unless they can release it by Dec end or max, early Jan, it should be pushed back for 845.
You can still store 4k content, just that you can't keep it on your SD card. That's what I'd do as well, keep all the HD content on the SD card so that phone memory is empty for 4k.

Wow, I always wanted to buy an 808 but felt there's no point having two phones. I switched on my N8 after years sometime back and it still works so well.
Man, Nokia 8 sales are driven mostly by nostalgia! You should read the reviews on Amazon, full of Nokia fan boys. Takes me back to the previous decade.

In my case I went for the Nokia 8 on a bang for buck basis. Got it on a 4gb unltd minutes and texts contract for £22 per month. That works out at £528 for the phone and contract, unbelievable. Also the speedy updates and near pure android sold it for me.

The 808 camera was magnificent but the Symbian OS was showing its age, there are many things that didnt work properly out of the box. As a phone and a camera rock solid, as a smartphone it failed.
From what i understand the Nokia 8 works good and all. The camera app still needs to heavily improve

Yup. There's a long thread here about the camera and how the Google camera apk is improving image quality. But it comes with the trade-off of not being able to use the second camera and no video recording as well.
TBH, though N8's greatest selling point for me was its camera, 7 years down the line, camera isn't what I look for in a smartphone anymore. So even if Nokia 8's camera isn't the best, I'm ok as long as performance, battery and other parameters are top class.

I guess those would be the HTC U11 Plus and OnePlus 5T. Former would be crazy expensive and the latter wouldn't have QHD screen, SD card slot, USB 3.1. Meh, other than 6GB RAM, Nokia 8 trumps the rest of them.
Btw prices are not stable as is the case for S8 etc. I've seen retail outlets quoting as low as 35.5k. So there is a scope for bargaining!

Is the Huawee Mate 30 Pro value for money compared to other flagships?

In my country it is a challenge to get new flagship phones shortly after launch. For that reason, I tend to resort to eBay.
At this stage I can get a 256GB Galaxy Note 10 with 8GB RAM for U$900 or the 256GB Note 10+ with 12GB RAM for U$1030. (shipped)
In comparison, the best price I can find on the Huawei is the 128GB Mate 30 Pro with 8GB RAM in black for U$1100. (shipped)
The Huawei Mate 30 Pro has better camera hardware and Face ID technology but otherwise the Note 10+ has more storage, more RAM, MicroSD slot, dual speakers, higher resolution display, S-Pen and Google Mobile Services.
I really would like a Mate 30 Pro but I honestly think that Huawei is just asking too much. The phone is great but it isn't the best in every aspect of the hardware and it's unfortunately unable to use Google services.
It is not reasonable to ask U$1100 for the Mate 30 Pro.
If it was priced at U$850 - 900, I would probably have made the purchase already but instead, I'm contemplating the Note 10 despite having my heart set on the Mate 30 Pro.
Do you agree?
Wait a bit more time to buy it. HW sell at much lower price in China and Malaysia
Sent from my YAL-L21 using Tapatalk
Seems China price is about 30% less than Europe($810USD). If you can get someone buy you one and send to US, you probably end up paying $920-950USD(shipped) for 128GB 4G version.
And don't treat this piece of electronics same as other cheap product you found in Walmart made in China.
price on aliexpress with the Broken screen insurance
Honestly, if it's going to be hard to get Google services on this phone, then it can't compete with other flagships. Would need a massive discount for it to be considered good value.

Is it worth it?

Hi,
So, I was planning to go for the Note 10 plus but it's price has not decreased much even after the launch of the S21 series https://www.samsung.com/in/smartpho...y-note10-plus-aura-glow-256gb-sm-n975fzsdins/ Is the Note 10 lite worth it's price? It is about 20000 inr or $265 usd cheaper than the plus one. I can live with the plastic body (as a case will be used), the lower end camera is fine but the processor and no ois is a big turn off. Also I read somewhere that the note 10 plus is more 5g ready than the note 10 lite meaning the plus one supports more 5g bands. Is it true? Ofcourse a "pure 5g" phone is months away. Any suggestions?
Thanks

Question Huawei P50 PRO where to buy?

Hey,
Do You know when and in what online shops will be available to buy? I'm waiting for European premiere, but if it will be online - i can buy from China.
Greetings
From what I read it will be available starting August 12th. Most likely only for China, and the global variant should be released some time later.
I'll wait a couple weeks for user reviews, mainly to find out whether it's possible to install Google services on HarmonyOS. Apparently it's possible on CHINESE variants of the Mate 40, with the Lzplay app (or whatever it's called). For global variants, gotta use GSpace which is not ideal.
EDIT: pre-order available on aliexpress HERE. Price is a bit high though.
Hello. Any news about Chinese variant and harmonyos running or not Google? I'm crazy about this phone.

Are you saying that with the mate if you wanted google you were better off with the Chinese version? i see the Chinese version is available but was afraid to buy it for compatibility in the usa
Hi.
I live in Sanya, China.
I recently bought 2 Huawei P50 Pros here to send to my friends in Russia and while testing them, I got quite disappointed. I even made a short review on my youtube channel (Mark Victorson).
They're overheating crazily, and in general, while cameras are the only reason one might want a Huawei phone, the video performance is seriously underwhelming.
And I don't recommend getting the China version with Kirin.
Wait for the global release. Or PM me if you can't live without the phone, I'll give you contacts of ppl who can buy and send the phone from China

1. Harmony os - hopefully the global version will have full fledged android 11 not the piece of android 10 they call a new os
2. Camera is underwhelming. Omnivision sensors are inferior to Sony. The quality and color science difference between the wide, main and tele lens are not in sync - shooting with all three makes you feel like you shoot on three different devices, so great the difference is. Video is still 30mbps in 4k...srsly? SONY gives 85!
3. Heat dissipation on Kirin is terrible, it drops from 300gips to 100gips in 9 minutes of CPU throttling test.
Hopefully the global version with Snapdragon will result in a better experience.

Which of the 2 devices would you recommend for overall everyday use (camera, speed, battery life, Heating). You mentioned the p50 pro gets hot, is that the same with the honor magic 3 pro plus?
Mate40 pro is not a better choice ??

Overall I'd recommend honor. It shoots better videos, its screen is better, it never heats up, its face id works in darkness. The only downside - it's a step behind p50pro in photography. Battery life is not bad on the both, but I can't say anything particular because i only had the devices for a week, and then sent them to Russia.

I appreciate that response thanks bro !
Lol wow. I have the phone, it's typical huawei goodness.
Hot? Not at all, it's same as any other normal phone concerning heat, camera is excellent! As expected, slightly better than by mate x2 camera which was also great. P50 pro ain't seen as the best phone camera right now for nothing.
Battery life again is typically great! It's a small battery, 4360 I believe, but it's roughly 8+ hours on screen time for a complete full charge.
I'm amazed at these statements

I do. It's nice. Surprised by how really flat and thin it feels. Wish it was thicket. Feels much better with the amazon case I got for it

The comments bashing it above are not true for me at all.

How much did you pay for it?
I've been told that photos are excellent but video recording is underwhelming, can you confirm?
Is there a 90hz option or only 60hz/120hz?
How many updates have you received so far ?
Does that 8 hours sot involve gaming or just normal usage?
How much battery do you lose overnight/idle?
8 hours is decent SOT, but I'm used to my 14 hours on the Rog 5 unfortunately there's no reviews on the p50 pro so I'm still undecided.

Paid about £870 from Alibaba
Pics are the best, full stop! Videos are good, iPhone still king
No it's only 60hz or 120hz dynamic. No 90hz
I think its been about 2 updates since I bought
It's 8 hours very conservative. Uses about 10% per hour
Losses about 3% overnight

Thank you again for the info !
I've just had a look online & it's looking likely that Huawei will launch the Mate 50 pro on October 21st
I'll wait for that if they don't end up releasing the mate 50 pro I'll just buy the p50 pro, prices will be lower too. I was hoping for the p50 pro plus version but doubt that will ever come out

You might as well wait the mate 50 Pro. Probably coming around the same time
