About the Huawei P40

The Huawei P40 is the standard model in the P40 series, sitting below the P40 Pro as a compact flagship with a strong main camera and a sensible size for one-handed use. Its 50MP main sensor uses Huawei's RYYB colour filter, which pulls in more light than a conventional filter and makes a genuine difference in dim indoor and evening shots, backed by a 16MP ultrawide and a modest 3x telephoto for portraits and everyday zoom. The 6.1-inch OLED display is compact by modern standards, which UK buyers who dislike oversized phones will appreciate, though the 60Hz refresh rate feels dated next to newer rivals. The biggest catch, and it is a significant one, is the total absence of Google Play Services: no Play Store, no Gmail app, no Google Maps out of the box. Huawei's AppGallery has grown since launch but still lacks many mainstream UK apps, so this is only a sensible buy today for someone who either does not rely on Google's ecosystem or is comfortable sideloading alternatives. Battery life is average rather than exceptional, and software updates have effectively stopped.

Frequently asked questions

Is the Huawei P40 worth buying in 2026?
Only with serious caveats. The camera hardware, particularly the RYYB main sensor, still performs well in low light, but the phone has no Google Play Services and has not received meaningful software updates in years. It suits a buyer who is fully aware of the Google app limitations and wants a compact, capable camera phone at a low price rather than someone expecting a mainstream Android experience.
Does the Huawei P40 have Google apps and the Play Store?
No. The P40 shipped without Google Mobile Services due to the US trade restrictions in place since 2019, so there is no Play Store, Gmail, or Google Maps pre-installed. Huawei's AppGallery is the default app source, and many popular UK apps and banking apps are missing or require manual sideloading.
Does the Huawei P40 support 5G?
Yes, the P40 runs on Huawei's Kirin 990 5G chipset and supports 5G connectivity, which was one of its strongest selling points at launch given how few phones offered 5G in early 2020.
How long will the Huawei P40 receive software updates?
Huawei's official update support for the P40 has ended. It launched on EMUI 10.1 and received EMUI updates for a couple of years, but it is no longer in active security patch rotation, so buyers should expect no further updates.
Is the Huawei P40 camera good?
The 50MP main camera with RYYB filter and OIS remains genuinely strong for low-light photography, a highlight of the P40 series at launch. The 16MP ultrawide and 3x optical zoom telephoto round out a capable, if not class-leading, triple camera system for everyday shooting.
How does the Huawei P40 compare to the Huawei P40 Pro?
The P40 Pro adds a larger 6.58-inch 90Hz display, a bigger 4,200mAh battery, faster 40W charging, and a more advanced quad-camera system with a 40MP ultrawide and 5x periscope zoom versus the P40's 3x zoom. Both share the same lack of Google Play Services. Compare Huawei P40 Pro deals.
