Software platform
At first glance, it seems that there is nothing to discuss here - both new products run on Android 10.0 with their own shells on top of the system. But not everything is so clear: the fact is that due to US sanctions, new Huawei smartphones are deprived of access to Google Mobile Services (it is thanks to GMS that Android smartphones have value). The Chinese vendor has been selling its Android smartphones in China for quite some time without support for Google services, which do not work there anyway. But in the Celestial Empire there are many alternative local services designed exclusively for the Chinese market.
However, the lack of GMS in Europe is a big problem. For example, although the Huawei P40 has an NFC module, contactless payment via Google Pay still will not work. Moreover, you will not even get access to your guatemala number data Gmail account. Instead of the Play Market application store, Huawei offers its own App Gallery market, which already has a lot of applications, although, of course, much less than Google Play. As for contactless payment, the company promises to launch its own Huawei Pay service at the end of 2020.
Resume
With an unrivaled camera quality, excellent screen-to-body ratio, waterproof case, and excellent computing unit, the Huawei P40 Pro should be named the winner. Although the Mi 10 Pro literally “breathes in the back of the head” of the winner, and in some parameters it is confidently ahead of it.
without Google Mobile Services causes mixed feelings. If you are used to the Google Chrome web browser, then in Huawei smartphones you will have to use the Huawei browser. And if you used to go to the Chrome browser and it pulled up all your settings, this will not be the case here. Well, you can mention many more advantages that access to Google services provides. Perhaps the Huawei P40 Pro would be a great choice as a second phone that you will mainly use as a camera phone or a game console. But how many people will be able to afford a second smartphone worth $ 1,000?
But there is one thing: a mobile gadget
