Huawei‘s global release schedule has no doubt been affected by the US ban especially the lack of Google Services on its recent phones. Nevertheless, the company still strives to maintain its market dominance. To this end, the company has unveiled the P40 Pro 5G in Japan.
Of course, due to the US ban, the Huawei Pro 40 Pro 5G cannot use Google Mobile Services and as such the Play store is unavailable. However, the P40 Pro 5G comes pre-installed with Huawei Mobile Service in Japan and users can download applications through the AppGallery App Store.
The phone is scheduled to go on sale in Japan on June 12 and will cost 108,800 yen (~$1,000) for the 8GB + 256GB variant. Huawei is also bundling the Watch GT 2e with each unit purchased.
To recall, the Huawei P40 Pro features a 6.58-inch 19.8:9 aspect ratio display with 2640 x 1200 resolution and 441 PPI and 90Hz refresh rate. The display houses a dual punch-hole comprising a 32MP AF camera and another IR camera for Face Unlock and depth sensing.
The Kirin 990 5G processor powers the P40 Probringing support for dual-mode SA/NSA 5G networks. The device also has a 4-layer VC Liquid Super Cooling system to ensure that the smartphone stays cool, even under heavy load and usage.
For photography, the P40 Pro features a quad-camera setup on the back which includes a 40 MP f/1.8 Ultra Wide Cine Lens, an upgraded 50MP RYYB f/1.9 sensor with OIS, a 12 MP Periscope Telephoto camera, and a ToF depth sensor.
The smartphone comes with Wi-Fi 6+ support with transfer speeds up to 2600Mbps. It runs EMUI 10.1 out of the box with the latest Android 10 operating system.
