    Huawei P40 5G FAQs

    What is the Huawei AppGallery? What are its functions?

    Huawei AppGallery is the official app distribution platform for Huawei smartphones and tablets, it is the 3rd largest app marketplace in the world available in more than 170 countries. An app store where users can easily and securely discover, find and download thousands of apps from around the world.

     

    How do I get my apps onto my Huawei device without the Google Play Store?

    First, we recommend you transfer most of your existing apps such as WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook and Spotify via the Phone Clone app from your current handset to your new Huawei device. 

    Secondly the pre-installed HUAWEI AppGallery has a lot of the top apps available including Depop, TikTok, Microsoft Office and many more. It also includes download links for apps such as Facebook and WhatsApp.

    Please note that not all apps will have been optimised by developers for non-Google Mobile Services (GMS) devices therefore individual app experiences may vary depending on the level of GMS integration into the app.

     

    What is the difference between Huawei Mobile Services (HMS) and Google Mobile Services (GMS)?

    Both HMS and Google Movie Services (GMS) are running Android Open Source Project (Android system) and they both support Android apps. However, some Android apps that require Google support won’t work properly on the Huawei Mobile Services (HMS) platform.

     

    How big is the Huawei P40 5G display?

    The Huawei P40 5G has a 6.1-inch OLED display, meaning that the Huawei P40 5G screen size will be big enough for watching movies, gaming or working.

     

    What is camera quality like on the Huawei P40 5G?

    Huawei has made its name with excellent camera quality and the Huawei P40 5G is no different. Its main camera is a big 50MP Ultra Vision Camera and it also boasts a 16MP Ultra-Wide Angle Camera, an 8MP Telephoto and a 32MP Selfie Camera.

     

    Does the Huawei P40 5G come with a headphone port?

    The Huawei P40 5G doesn’t have a traditional headphone jack but it does come with a USB type C input for compatible headphones.

     

    How much internal storage does the Huawei P40 come with?

    Out of the box, you can expect Huawei’s P40 5G to come with 128GB of storage as well as 8GB RAM memory. There’s also the option to add more storage for all those games, movies and pictures.

     

    What is the video recording quality on the Huawei P40 5G?

    Huawei P40 5G video recording won’t disappoint – as it supports 4K 60fps video. The 4K resolution you’ll get on your Huawei P40 5G should give you smooth, high quality video.

     

    Does the Huawei P40 5G come with a voice assistant?

    There’s currently no support for a virtual assistant like Bixby, Siri or Google Assistant but there’s some speculation that Huawei will be launching its own voice assistant - so it’s worth looking out for updates.

     

    Is the Huawei P40 5G water & dust resistant?

    The Huawei P40 5G is dust and water resistant supported with a rating of IP53. This should give you plenty of protection against what life throws at your P40 5G.

    Huawei P40 5G is rated 3.5 out of 5 by 18.
    Rated 5 out of 5 by from Happy with the switch I have now had a few weeks with my device and I will be honest, the lack of Google did concern me to begin with when I was looking at buying but after a small amount of research it completely changed my mind! The ability to get apps is super easy but what really stuck out to me was the use of phone clone thats built into the devices natively. A ton of apps that aren't currently available on App Gallery actually moved over and still logged in! Huawei are always known to have great cameras so that was a huge reason I wanted to grab this phone and I haven't been let down. I have grabbed some great photos already and highly recommend it on this front. Overall it's a superb piece of kit and I recommend it to anyone who wants some top tier tech.

    Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent hardware, that's worth the extra work... So over the years I've always shopped around for different brands and phones, and my Huawei devices were the only ones that seemed to last the full 2 year life cycle (my Mate 10 Pro is still fully functional with healthy battery) and so I was keen to stick with the brand despite their lack of Play Store access, as long as I could get the apps I needed. So I took a gamble and went with the P40 this year, only half knowing what to expect. I knew there were some Apps that weren't going to work, but as long as I had my essentials I could live with that, knowing the hardware is superb and will last the 2 years while Huawei work to improve their software ecosystem. Through using AppGallery and Petal Search (which I wish was better advertised initially) I've managed to get 95% of my daily apps up and running - this includes YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, WhatsApp, Waze, Deezer, Zoom, GMail via Huawei Email etc. The only app that is yet to work is my Barclays banking - which I now access via the DuckDuckGo privacy browser with VPN built in (created a shortcut onto home screen for ease of use) A lot of apps function perfectly fine but will still show messages saying they won't fully function even though they do - this is the only time I really remember the devices don't run via Google Services. Some apps like RingGo have limited functionality but once again do work (will have to manually enter car park number as opposed to using location to find where you are) To my surprise most Google Apps still function too and/or are accessible via the browser. Being forced away from Google has allowed me to discover alternative apps I actually prefer! Waze, YouTube Vanced, DuckDuckGo are just a few examples. To summarise - If you want incredible hardware and are happy to explore the possibilities of Android outside Google, and are willing to put in a little extra work to make the device truly feel like YOURS, then go for it. No regrets.

    Rated 5 out of 5 by from Guys, Use Petal Search I just received my P40 recently and was looking for ways to update my apps. I have gone through Phone Clone, as recommended on the huawei uk official website. Managed to get most of the apps cloned. So its ok. BUT! I found out something interesting a few days ago. Apparently, there is a new thing released by huawei called Petal Search, said to be an alternative for google app search where you can find the apps you need/want. Yesterday, I tried downloaded from huawei app store and installed on my phone. Surprisingly, it works!! Haha! There are facebook, watsapp, instagram, bbc and etc. *P.S Carphone should have told us about this trick, instead of me having to go online for the details myself

    Rated 5 out of 5 by from Brilliant phone Really love the design and color! Decent battery and amazing display. I thought it could be a little bit hard to get my apps but it really changed my mind when I got the petal search that Huawei published last week. It looks like a magic box I can find the most of my favorite apps, which did really solve my major concern.
