Huawei launched the three Huawei P40 flagships on March 26, 2020. The Huawei P40 and P40 Pro went on sale globally on April 7. The Huawei P40 Pro Plus will go on sale in June 2020.
Both the P40 and P40 Pro launched with EMUI 10.1 based on Android 10. Like most flagships, these phones are expected to receive two major software updates in their lifetime.
The P40 series doesn't have any of the familiar Google apps or the Google Play Store owing to the ongoing US ban. Instead, the phones feature Huawei Mobile Services and the Huawei App Gallery.
The first update for the Huawei P40 and P40 Pro landed on April 8, one day after the phones went on sale. According to Huawei Central, the update brought the March 2020 security patch to the phones. It also added a Golden Snap feature to the camera which chooses the best shot based on facial and posture recognition. The mode also captures moving pictures in 4K and helps you edit out extra people.
In addition, the first update also optimized the video recording feature, added the Sound Booster and Find My Phone features, optimized fingerprint unlock, and enhanced overall performance of the phones.
A second update for the Huawei flagships reportedly landed on April 20. The OTA is 711MB in size and updates the P40 and P40 Pro to EMUI version 10.1.0.122. It added a new AI 50MP camera mode. With this mode, the 50MP camera on the phones takes a bunch of images and combines them into one for better quality shots. The update also added a new condensed color scheme clock style for the Always-on Display and brought other display and system stability improvements.
In May, the Huawei P40 and P40 Pro got the EMUI version 10.1.0.126 update. It added a telephoto picture-in-picture preview interface to the phones. The feature makes it easier to see what you're zooming into while clicking photos with the telephoto lens by adding a preview window to the camera app. This preview interface pops up when you zoom 15x or more.
On June 10, the company rolled out EMUI version 10.1.0.131 to the Huawei P40 series. The updated added a new Petal Search app on the phones to help users find apps that aren't available on the Huawei AppGallery.
