HUAWEI Mate 40 Pro review: keeps getting better and better It’s the software and ecosystem efforts of HUAWEI that allow me to finally recommend a flagship like the Mate 40 Pro without reservations. 8 minute read If you’ve been following HUAWEI and its development over the past quinquennial, you know very well that the two flagships, the spring P-series, and the autumn Mate-series are two different animals. The P40 – which earned our Road Warrior award for the Pro version, and the Best Camera of 2020 for the Pro+ variant – is aimed towards the creative, focusing on multimedia and photography. The Mate-series is the one pushing the limits of performance. It is also the device that usually introduces the latest iteration of the Kirin chipset, and other advancements.
