DxOMark had recently unveiled a new ranking system for a different categories for smartphones. It is for the display, and now, the Huawei P40 Pro has also been reviewed and has received praises for its class leading motion control.
For those unaware, DxOMark generally reviews cameras and audio from smartphones, but has now diversified to include a display review as well. After a rigorous testing phase, the company gave the Huawei P40 Pro a score of 85 points on its display. This is among upper half of all its rankings and even edges out on last year’s Apple iPhone 11 Pro Max. While the device did receive the a relatively high score, it failed to reach the top 3 in DxOMark’s display ranking.

DxOMark stated that the score was largely affected by its readability performance where it was found too dark to read in both indoor and outdoor conditions comfortably. Although, the flagship from the Chinese tech giant did receive praises for its good overall color performance. Furthermore, where the Huawei P40 Pro stood out exceptionally was the motion sub category, which it was labelled as class leading.
The device was found to have excellent control of motion blur, and its video playback instantaneous. Another area where the smartphone struggled was with touch, and it also lost points for its obtrusive notch and poor handling of aliasing artifacts, which was particularly noticeable during gaming. In other words, the display was overall well received but had certain shortcomings that lowered its score. Despite this, it still managed to arrive in the top 5 spot of the DxOMark display rankings.
