On 26th March 2020, Huawei had announced its latest flagship series, the Huawei P40, P40 Pro and P40 Pro+. Both smartphones arrived with top notch specs and pricing, with the top models crossing the $1,000 mark. But now, the pricing details for the Chinese launch have been leaked, which reveals pricing nearly 30 percent lower than its foreign launch in certain cases.
According to a new report, the Huawei P40 with 8GB of RAM and 128GB storage will sell for 4,488 Yuan (roughly 632 US Dollars). This is lower than the European pricing of 799 Euros (roughly 6,195 Yuan). Similarly, the Huawei P40 Pro 8GB + 128GB will sell for 5,788 Yuan (roughly 815 US Dollars) while the 8GB + 256GB variant will be sold for 6,288 Yuan (roughly 885 US Dollars).

Again, these prices are noticeably lower than the foreign launch that had the Huawei P40 Pro priced at 999 EUR for the 256GB models (roughly 7,745). Finally, the most pricey higher end model, Huawei P40 Pro, is reportedly priced at 7,988 Yuan (roughly 1,125 US Dollars), which is again lower than the 1,399 EUR price tag in Europe (roughly 10,845 Yuan).
This makes the Huawei P40 series about 30 percent lower in price when compared to the global launch variant. Notably, it is about 200-300 Yuan higher than the last year’s Huawei P30 series, although that is expected since the newer version feature 5G networking with the general pricing logic also being considered. Unfortunately, this has yet to be confirmed by Huawei. So, it is unclear if this is the official pricing from the Chinese tech giant. Thus, take this report with a grain of salt for now.
