Forget the trade war with Trump, forget the lack of Google apps, forget the impact of Covid-19: Huawei is carrying on like nothing’s happened, and in the P40 Pro it’s delivered a powerhouse phone that ploughs its own path.

Working glass hero Wrapped in glass and metal, the P40 Pro has a 90Hz 6.58in Quad HD+ OLED display. It’s edge-to-edge, includes an in-display fingerprint sensor and has a 32MP punch-hole selfie-cam. Round the back there’s a rectangular camera unit that protrudes a bit but should sit flush with a case.

All of the light Leica is back on lens duty, but Huawei has turned its focus from zooming to low light: the 1/1.28in 50MP unit matches many ‘real’ cameras and is designed for maximum light intake, higher dynamic range and lower noise. You also get a 12MP 5x telephoto, a 40MP ultra-wide and a ToF sensor for depth. Everything is supported by a high-definition engine with oodles of AI and neural processing to assist with image stacking and sharpness.
