Huawei P40 Pro — Full Specifications, Features & Price in Pakistan

The Huawei P40 Pro was Huawei's 2020 camera king: a 50MP UltraVision main sensor, a 40MP cine ultrawide, and a 5x periscope telephoto in a curved-glass flagship with 90Hz OLED and 40W + 27W wireless charging. It remains one of the most capable camera phones ever made — with one defining limitation: no Google apps. This guide covers the verified specifications, listed Pakistan prices, and how to decide whether the camera is worth the software trade-off.

Key Specifications at a Glance

Design and Build Quality

The P40 Pro is a classic curved-glass flagship: 158.2 x 72.6 x 9.0 mm, 209 g, with a glass front and back, aluminium frame, and a quad-curved "overflow" display. IP68 dust and water resistance (up to 1.5m for 30 minutes) is included — a genuine flagship credential. Colours: Silver Frost, Blush Gold, Deep Sea Blue, Ice White, and Black. The in-display fingerprint sensor and infrared face recognition both work well. It feels dense and premium, exactly as a 2020 flagship should.

Display Features

The 6.58-inch OLED (1200 x 2640, ~441 ppi) with 90Hz refresh rate, HDR10, and DCI-P3 is superb — sharp, smooth, and colour-accurate. The quad-curved edges give an immersive, bezel-less look, though they complicate screen protectors and can cause accidental touches. The dual punch-hole houses the 32MP selfie camera and ToF sensor. Even in 2026, this display holds up against mid-range panels.

Processor and Performance

The Kirin 990 5G (7 nm+) — octa-core up to 2.86 GHz with Mali-G76 MP16 — was Huawei's finest chip, and it remains smooth for daily use and gaming in 2026. The integrated 5G modem covers SA/NSA bands 1/3/28/38/41/77/78/79 per spec listings. EMUI's aggressive background management is the main software quirk. Performance is not the reason to hesitate on this phone; the software ecosystem is.

RAM and Storage

8GB RAM with 256GB of UFS 3.0 storage is the standard configuration (a 128GB variant exists in some markets). 8GB is still comfortable for multitasking, and 256GB suits a camera-first phone that shoots 4K video. The Nano Memory slot (up to 256GB, shared with SIM 2) adds expansion at Huawei's proprietary-card premium.

Camera Features

The Leica quad camera is the P40 Pro's reason for existing: a 50MP UltraVision main sensor (f/1.9, 1/1.28-inch, OIS, octa phase detection) — one of the largest phone sensors of its era — a 40MP cine ultrawide (f/1.8, 1/1.54-inch) that doubles as a superb video camera, a 12MP periscope telephoto (f/3.4, 5x optical zoom, OIS) with up to 50x hybrid zoom, and a ToF 3D depth sensor. Night photography, zoom, and 4K video (up to 60fps, HDR, gyro-EIS) remain exceptional — this system still embarrasses most 2026 mid-range phones. The dual front camera (32MP + ToF) enables secure face unlock and strong selfies.

Battery and Charging

A 4,200mAh battery with 40W wired SuperCharge, 27W wireless charging, and reverse wireless charging — the most versatile charging package in this guide. Battery life covers a full day of typical use when healthy. On a used unit, battery health is the key check: test wired and wireless charging, and budget for a possible replacement. Wireless charging coils can fail invisibly, so test with an actual wireless charger before paying.

Software and Updates

Android 10 with EMUI 10.1 on the open-source Android base plus Huawei Mobile Services — no Google Mobile Services, no Play Store, no Google apps. This is the P40 Pro's defining limitation, and it is absolute: sideloading Google services is unreliable, and banking and government apps are the usual casualties. Huawei's AppGallery is mature, and Petal Search fills gaps, but if your work or banking depends on Google-dependent apps, this phone cannot be your primary device. As a camera-first secondary phone, the trade-off is manageable. Official updates have ended.

Connectivity and Additional Features

5G (SA/NSA) + 4G LTE, hybrid dual Nano-SIM (or Nano-SIM + eSIM per spec listings), Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax), Bluetooth 5.1, NFC, USB Type-C 3.1, and even FM radio per WhatMobile listings. Sensors: in-display fingerprint, infrared face recognition, accelerometer, gyroscope, compass, proximity, colour spectrum. No 3.5mm headphone jack. This is the best-connected phone in the guide.

Variants, Colours and Availability

The standard variant is 8GB + 256GB; 8GB + 128GB exists in some markets. Colours: Silver Frost, Blush Gold, Deep Sea Blue, Ice White, Black. The P40 Pro launched March 2020 and was sold officially in Pakistan in limited numbers; today's market is used units. Do not confuse it with the P30 Pro (2019, Kirin 980, Google apps) — the names are similar, the software situation is opposite. Verify the exact model and test the cameras thoroughly: periscope zoom mechanisms are the most failure-prone part.

Price in Pakistan and PTA Information

Listed prices for the Huawei P40 Pro in Pakistan: Rs. 179,999 on priceplace.com.pk and tribune.com.pk (8GB + 256GB, verified 2026-10-11); pakistani.pk lists Rs. 164,400; hi94 shows a starting price of Rs. 100,800. These are dated listing estimates, not current market prices — our catalog reference is Rs. 164,999. Used units trade below these figures depending on condition, PTA status, and camera health. Confirm the actual current price with Zohaan Mobile Gallery before buying.

PTA: PTA approval applies per device and IMEI, not per model. Before paying, send the phone's IMEI to 8484 and confirm "Compliant" status. What is PTA approval | How to check PTA approval | How to check IMEI.

Main Advantages and Limitations

Advantages:

• Exceptional Leica quad camera — 50MP main, 40MP cine ultrawide, 5x periscope zoom
• 6.58-inch 90Hz OLED; IP68; 40W + 27W wireless charging
• Kirin 990 5G still performs well; 5G hardware included

Limitations:

• No Google apps or Play Store (HMS only) — the central caveat
• Banking/government apps may not work; no official updates
• Used-only market; periscope and battery health must be tested
• Easily confused with the P30 Pro (which HAS Google apps)

Who Should Consider This Phone?

Good fit: mobile photographers who want one of the best camera systems ever put in a phone and can live without Google services — ideally as a camera-first secondary device, with every lens and the battery tested before purchase.

Look elsewhere if: you need Google apps or a primary phone with current software support — the P30 Pro (full Google apps) or options in the all mobiles collection are safer.

Final Verdict

The P40 Pro is Huawei's camera masterpiece and its software tragedy in one phone. No other device in this guide matches its photography — the 50MP sensor, cine ultrawide, and periscope zoom remain world-class. But the HMS-only reality is non-negotiable: buy it as a photographer's tool, test everything, verify the IMEI — and never as a blind primary-phone purchase.
