This is how much the Huawei P40 series will cost you in SA
Huawei recently launched its P40 range which consists of the P40, P40 Pro and P40 Pro Plus flagship smartphones.
These smartphones will be the first new high-end range that has launched in South Africa without Google Mobile Services.
The three devices will run on Android 10-based EMUI 10, HiSilicon Kirin 990 chipset with 8GB of RAM, WiFi 6, 5G and eSIM support.
The new smartphones feature Quad-Curved Overflow display that provides a bezel-less aesthetic.
This allows the OLED screen on the P40 Pro to wrap around the sides of the phone and make the display truly bezel-less.
This new range of smartphones will run Huawei Mobile Services (HMS) instead of Google Mobile Services (GMS) on the Android 10 operating system.
HMS is a replacement for Google Mobile Services, which runs natively on Android devices and enables certain features and services.
