The most recent flagship from Huawei, the Huawei P40 series, is set to launch in Kenya soon. The company is yet to share the official date or price as it is still early for that.
The launch of P40 series in Kenya is expected to bring the Huawei P40 and the Huawei P40 Pro. The company is yet to confirm any of this but this is what we expect. There is also the Huawei P40 Pro+ but I am not sure about its availability in Kenya.
The Huawei P40 series builds on the success of the P30 series from last year. The company hopes that the new device will navigate the market well despite the current issues it has that prevent it from using Google Mobile services as well as pre-install Google apps on its devices.
The Huawei P40 series comes with a plethora of flagship features and specs together with the next generation “ultravision” camera system. The series is well placed to rival some of the latest devices from Samsung and Apple.
The P40 Pro and P40 Pro + come with a 6.58” 90Hz Flex OLED display with 2640 x 1200 resolution, offering a 441 PPI. The display supports DCI-P3 HDR, which promises high saturation and contrast. Putting all of these together, it makes the best display from the company so far.
The Huawei P40, on the other hand, has a smaller 6.2” display.
The design is well done with smooth edges both on the screen and the chassis, narrow bezels all around the device, as well as the nicely placed dual selfie cameras on the hole punch notch. The P40 series should also offer an easy time while handling due to the compact-nature, according to Huawei.
On the camera front, the Huawei P40, P40 Pro, and P40 Plus have triple, quad, and Penta camera systems, respectively. To start with the P40, it sports a 50MP f/1.9 primary camera, a 16MP f/2.2 ultra-wide lens, and an 8MP f/2.4 3x telephoto lens with OIS.
The P40 Pro has a 50MP primary camera followed by a 40MP ultra-wide lens, a 12MP f/3.4 telephoto lens (offers up to 5x optical and 50x hybrid zoom), and a ToF sensor for depth sensing.
The P40 Plus features a pretty identical setup like the P40 Pro for the Main lens and the ultra-wide lens. Its telephoto lens is an 8MP f/4.4 lens offering up to 10x optical zoom instead of 5x. Plus, you also get a ToF depth sensor.
Huawei P40 series hardware specs include Huawei’s in-house Kirin 990 processor, which supports 5G, at least 8GB of memory, 128GB onboard storage minimum, an in-screen fingerprint reader, WIFI 6, Bluetooth 5.1, and NFC support.
The standard P40 has a 3800mAh battery while the Pro and Pro+ have a slightly large battery, which tops at 4200mAh. All three models support 40W fast charging technology and 27W wireless charging.
With the launch of the Huawei P40 series in Kenya, the company would have launched 4 devices since the beginning of the year. The other three are the Huawei Nova 5T, the Huawei Y6s and the recently unveiled Huawei Y7p.
