Huawei P40 Pro Plus Review: Camera Tech Is A Generation Ahead Of The Rest 

Please read my written review! www.forbes.com/sites/bensin/2020/06/17/huawei-p40-pro-plus-review-camera-tech-is-a-generation-ahead/#513c9b08624b

How come Microsoft's software is installable but not Google's? They are both American companies.

One thing have learnt ,is the western part should rethink and may be put an end to most of the prejudices towards Chinese tech , such like , "Chinese are very good at copying", "that Chinese can't produce anything new",that they are only good at mass production etc , that fact is Chinese products are actually good more than those that are always over hyped ,the only thing is the west to collaborate with China in terms of technology advancement.. otherwise Chinese technology will take over,, because these guys are really good.. indeed

Here in Italy the Huawei p40 Pro is actually 750€ thanks to sales. And you also get their Bluetooth earbuds and speaker for free

Ben, you're crazy, man! It's a pleasure watching your videos! Excellent videos, great material and a lot of informative content. Keep enjoying us!

To be honest if i could buy a p40 pro + i would. But it's not available in my country . Because i am a strong supporter to huawei's effort on taking a good worldwild market share in terms of mobile services. We should stop Google's monopoly cuz it's rediculous. Anyway great amazing review love your work. Stay safe

When Huawei's HMS gets mature enough, it's bye bye GMS and USA!

as a p40 pro owner, i can agree, 2 weeks owning the phone and still cant believe how it can see in the dark. They still need to up their game in the video department but for me, i use 95% the camera for photos so it doesn't affect me that much. videos are good too but i would say is 1 generation below iphone and samsung in some situations. Also there's a bit of color differences between main and ultra wide that they can hopefully fix with an update. Other than that i love it, ditched samsung after 8 years, sold my s10, best decision ever, p40 pro fingerprint and face recognition is out of the world comparing with samsung.

great review Ben, as always. well the thing that most people forget to mention and i believe it's the best thing about Huawei cameras is Raw image stacking, while all the other Oems use jpg stacking, Huawei approach gives more natural look and it eliminates the hallow effect around objects which was single handedly ruining computational photography for me. i only wish they kept the muted color look they had on the first software iteration.

Your quote "In Europe, I think 1600 Euros is going to be a hard sell." Yes, and no. I think a lot of people, all over the world, are starting to realize that Huawei is in another league when it comes to smartphone cameras. If someone is looking for the absolute best camera hardware available in a phone, a Huawei is really a decent option. That's not to say it's going to consistently take the same "decent" photos that an iPhone will, but if you want a phone that can take some absolutely striking photos, a P40 Pro/Pro+ is a top notch device.

Lmao the people staring at you on camera. I'm worried that you rarely wore your mask in the video.

Hey man audio sounds great edit: don’t ever change your vlog review style it’s awesome!

I enjoy watching all your reviews and videos, you do an excellent job on them. I like the P40 Pro, the only thing that I don't like is that the apps don't come on it. I still give it 5⭐ cause it's not there fault that it's not on there. POWERHOUSE!!!

At 5:44, when you went outside on the boat, the colours are just amazing!

Wish u can also review the connection, as I heard Huawei is excellent. Maybe if HK already support for 5G

Man you're one of the best tech reviewers out!

The only issue i had with my p30 pro was that the 2x zoom shot was a complete different colour temperature to the one shot on 1x and 5x.... And all the were totally different. After seeing reviews of p40, the trend continues sadly. Most importantly, hdr had to be manually enabled each time buried in the settings

Can i suggest ? Can you use that phone as your Vlogging Camera for a day

brother your channels amazing we must follow you more people like 1Million followers

This phone is super awesome. I love how you go into details explaining everything. Nice content Ben.

Those cameras are amazing, but that front cutout is way too big for my liking. I hope the s21/note21 can get that zoom lens because after the s20+ that i have now, zooming is awesome.

Ben, your reviews are amazing. You're not biased. Keep it up.👍

Great no nonsense review and very comprehensive, good stuff!

Wow the huawei p40pro seem run longer than Ben himself, after the half you seem on a marathon, take care, drink water, buy a watermelon, try another format in the hottest time in hk, that could be helpful, like mckinnon or dpreview, they found places, like breweries just to make some pictures and viral presence, to get another perspective of hk, like dragon brew or gwei lo, just an idea, thanks for such a dedicated review keep hydrated brotha

Great review as always! I don't want to politicize your tech channel or anything, but driven from the fact you do your reviews in HK, I hope the latest developments in China-HK relations do not affect your life significantly there. Anyway, keep up the good work.

@Ben, your review is refreshing seeing you sweating it out to vlog! 🤭 One thing to add though, the ceramic back cover is in fact , one of the major differentiators between P40 Pro+ and P40 Pro. This unique opaque looking white (or black) ceramic built back is not just gorgeous to look at, but also very resistant to scratches due from sand & dust, even coins & keys. It's made of a type of ceramic compound with a MOHS hardness of 8.5, which is harder than those quartz (MOHS of 7) normally found in the sand & dust. Besides, it's also lighter in weight than the normal glass back cover of P40 Pro. That's the reason why Huawei doesn't include a clear case in the box simply suggested that you don't need one anymore.

Love your trips through hong kong 👍👍 Lets see what the mate 40 pro brings to the table.

First time here i but my hat down for u . U reviewed everything in the camera section not like other RU-vidrs do thanks for this review and keep up the good work❤️bro

Hi, I'm from Brazil and a subscriber. Just wanna say you do great content, we really see your thinking and opinions on technology. Because a lot of youtubers are a little standardized, let's say, in the occidental side. Kinda biased. Great stuff Ben. All the good wishes, stay safe man.

The review that I have been waiting for, thank you so much, Ben.

Great review 👍👍. You've clearly shown the P 40 pro plus camera capabilities. Which are truly mind blowing.

Major looooove you review. One of the polite and professional reviewers around. 👍🏻👍🏻

Next level smartphone 🔥🔥🔥

Since I won't be getting this phone I live vicariously through you.😂😂

4:30😂 really love when this scenes happened

I hope Huawei can complete their harmony Os soon and take all the chinese phone brand to join that Os.

Thanks Ben, another great review. Released in the UK soon. There are lots of videos on RU-vid with Google services running no problem... have you tried any of them?

Do a side by side comparison of the camera of S20 Ultra with the Pro Plus pls. :D

Ben, please start your lifestyle channel too😊 In this vlog, I got review of P40 pro plus + tour of HK

I hate that the U.S. government won't allow Huawei phones to be sold here. Great videos!

Review Sony Xperia 1 Mark ii camera pleaseeeeeeee!!!!

Great video as ever from Mr. Ben. I like your photo comparison style. Would you mind make a photo comparison video between Mate 30 Pro with P40 Pro/Pro+? I would love to see the side by side compariosn in low light since P40 Pro series primary lens sensor size is bigger than Mate 30 Pro, but the aperture is quite much narrower, I'm talking about f/0.3 difference. Hope my request will be fulfilled. Finger crossed. Stay healthy!

Great video rundown. Last one i had was P20 Pro. Next time I vist HK from Korea will pick one up.

Hey Ben 😊 Thank you for this, great video! I'm waiting for this phone P40 Pro+ in the UK 🇬🇧 it should be released here this week, love Huawei phones and with phone clone and Petal, the lack of Google apps won't be an issue, it's all scaremongering! Cheers.. 👍🏻🦋

Great review Ben..... as usual , unbiased , informative and very interesting 😅😂👍 I see it listed at 2070$ aud on aliexpress ..... seems reasonable for sure 👍👍👍

This is such an intriguing review. Makes me wanna get my hands on the phone and see it myself =)

Wow, impressive camera! I am equally impressed with your presentation. Great job, Mr. Ben

As iPhone user myself, I like they way Huawei approach to camera tbh. They literally pioneer lowlights photography for other manufacturers. I think RYYB is very good idea,it’s not exclusive to huawei though. There’s the reason why other manufacturers don’t use RYYB in their camera. To change the fundamental of how sensor works like that required you to write everything from the scratch. So basically you need to develop new algorithm for everything from white balance to EV. And I also saw a lot of camera expert said that RYYB camera is very hard to get white balance right, this is also why we don’t see a lot of DSLR with RYYB sensor.

I see nothing wrong in having night shots that looks like day, this phone shows it way ahead of its generation, up huawei for winning the smartphone award 2020

Awesome camera and great design..

Yeah Ben I am getting a P40 to replace point and shoot. Its sensor basically has the same sensor as the RX100 and Insta360 One inch. The reason I am not getting the P40 Pro is that I don't care about using a bigger "camera" on the gimbal. I don't care about the telephoto lens that much either, maybe next gen.

Great review mate, love the detailed explanations about the technology the camera.

Great review as always. Hope at some point it will be available with gms and it's a definitive buy!

Love your videos ❤️ Great job Appreciate it

Those night photos... Amazing sensor tech from Huawei. I like this vlog style review, feels natural and showcases the device in day to day settings. The lack of B roll on this type of review is justified since every bit of the scene is very to the point and clear about the camera only. Great job as always Ben.

Subbed. 👍🏼I have been waiting for a decent & detailed review of the P40 Pro plus. Some of 'em (like Mr.WhoseTheboss ) are still yet to release the video, due to the reason of having the early version of the hardware/software, somethn like that & This is the first video that i'm watching on your channel. 1st up, Good Work. Very well described, reviewed video of the device. I'm a P30 Pro user. I love tech and i admire the innovations that's been brought by Huawei. 2ndly, You deserve way more subs. ✌🏻✨ Keep up the good work.

Hi Ben from Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🙋🏾‍♂️

4:29 5:40 you're such a troll, that was hilarious :))))) Love your honest reviews, as always!

Deberías tener millones de suscriptores, ojalá siga creciendo el canal saludos desde México 🇲🇽

Really only one thing that bothers me. It's this selfie camera setup. It's just big no no for me! Other than that almost prefect phone.

Thank You for this, such a complete thorough and comprehensive review. Ive just purchased one is there any way to switch between front and back cam whilst vlogging?

Nice review Ben 👍 Love the background, good culture.

Always enjoy your review very very good.

You're like the 'Kai W' of mobile phones. Enjoyed your reviews. 👍🏼

Nice job bro Ben👍👍👍watch most of your video clip good work out Best regards from Malaysia

the noise cancelation on huawei P40 pro+ is amazing

15:48 "Diu lay" 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Brand new the price for P40 Pro+ is eye-watering considering the GMS debacle, but now the second hand units start to hit the market, pricing has become more palatable. I hope price on secondary market keeps on dropping and once day I will snatch this beast.

Still holdon with my white p40 pro+ in my profile pic..definitely can use it many years to come because just change the battery on april this year..

And by the way thanks that you point out that some hk people are behaving kind of....., keep your good work going man, be yourself the zv 1 is quite good

right now p40 pro only 798 on ebay in usa

5:41 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 they were like SHIT HE'S ON TO US 😂

04:30 hello people 04:30 05:41 hello people: chapter II 05:41

Best camera review 😍😍

Great reviews man how much is that phone in USA dollars

thanks for the review. hope someone can make a custom rom for this phone to flash it to android.

when we will see a full review of honor 30 pro+?

Very good test , thank you for thé vidéo . i am watching you from Belgium

Great idea to incorporate travel into your review! You should do more reviews and comparisons like this. This gives us an opportunity to learn more about the device and China at the same time. 👍🏽👍🏽

Great review 💪 keep safe and healthy sir Ben

Waiting for the day HMS excels GMS for use in Europe.

Hi ben nice review . Please you advise me to bay oppo reno 2 Or samsung s10 lite

Superb video quality

Insane phone.. esse é foda, o melhor!!

Ben nice review. What’s the model of the SONY camera you’re using for filming the video

Great review. Nice stroll around Hong Kong. Miss that place man.

That`s what I meanted some videos before this. Show us your Chinese World on your videos. Great job on nice locations ! Thank you Ben !! And Greetings from Germany !

Ben, currently I am using Huawei P30 Pro. I am thinking of buying P40 Pro Plus which is selling at around Usd950 or should I wait go for Mate 40 Pro right away? Appreciate your advice. Thank you. Mr Lim

Sup Ben. I watch all your reviews now. Super informative all the damn time. AHS bro!

Best camera smartphone

go go huawei 👍👍👍👍

Great review Ben...👍🏻👍🏻! . I love vlog + review style, knew the gadger and view at the same time.👍🏻😁

Tech: again P40PP'S mic is surprisingly good Non-Tech: man I enjoyed the travelogue more than the review itself

Really enjoyed the review. Nice one Ben

For huawei P40 +, my question is, Top APPS for Video Edit and Photo edit that can be found in Huawei App Store? Thanks for the reply sir

Great video, Ben!

I am wondering if P40 PRO or P40 PRO+ has better low light telephoto? Because P40 PRO has RYYB telephoto while P40 PRO+ don't, right? So P40 PRO telephoto should be better for low light than P40 PRO+, right?

Is there an option for whatsapp in the huawei appgallery ? Again a great video. Really like this video

Hello from Brazil, Ben.

Great video like always Ben, but why did you wear your mask on your forehead lol
