The P40 Pro + was an amazing phone and I got GMS working on it fine (struggled without it at first for a couple of vital APPS!) I then moved to the dark side and currently have a Note 20 Ultra, but I miss the Huawei camera.
Questions for when the answers are available....
The Pro is announced for UK I believe, does anybody know if/when the Pro+ will be?
What do you guys think of a GMS option for the new Mate 40 range... do you think one will come fairly quickly?
Are you getting a Mate 40 in any spec?
I ordered mine, white from Cina.
Which model? And excuse my ignorance but does one from China cause any UK issues with language, side loading Google or updates?

I was contemplating checking out this phone, but I looked up the 5G NR bands and it doesn't include the bands used here in Canada. Telus, Bell, and Rogers all use N66 and Rogers also uses N71. Neither of those are included in the Mate 40 *.
Make sure you check the bands for your country and carrier before ordering.
OK, I've found a company I can buy it from but I'm finding scary stories about buying a chinese (rather than UK) phone -
"Updates will be OTA, however you may not receive updates correctly as you will be using a UK SIM, not a Chinese SIM"
I have no experience of ever buying a non-UK, sim free phone.
Help really appreciated please.
Hello I bought it on tradingshenzen day 2 November as available in stock 10 pieces Huawei Mate 40 Pro + Plus NOP-AN00 White color but the seller after three days from the order, told me that they had made a mistake on availability and between else you have to wait 1 or 2 weeks. But if anyone knows a place where it is available immediately, I'd like to have a link so I get a refund and buy it because it pisses me off that they tell you available and then you have to wait days and days. Huawei Mate 40 Pro + Plus and they are receiving the parcels and I don't understand why there is no availability at the moment for other sites Mah ....

Hello I have been buying Huawei Mate series for many years and only and exclusively with Chinese firmware but obviously multilingual and I can tell you the updates arrive without problems before the global version ones.

your best options are aliexpress xda wont let me post external inks so just remove the spaces from links below
aliexpress . com/w/wholesale-huawei-mate-40-pro.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.0.0.234c7a72rC5H7n&CatId=5090301
keep in mind prices will be higher than in local Chinese market but alot cheaper than trading shenzen giztop and other reseller sites
if you cheaper price buy it here jd.com or tmall.com
search . jd. com/Search?keyword=mate%2040%20pro&enc=utf-8
most of the cheaper listing are sold out right now but you can find some higher prices ones keep in mind on these sites you will need a shipping agent incase you do not have one just make an account ytaopal .com/ and paste the link you want to buy in your dashboard they will buy it and ship it to you I have used them before not for mobile phone but for other things do ask them about mobile phone shipping before placing the order sometimes battery goods cannot be sent from certain shipping companies if you do not want to do all this just buy it on aliexpress instead.
I would say go for mate 40 pro plus model as this time difference isnt just a 10x camera but alot more
1 . Extra 10x camera
2. SFS 1.0 ( 2 fold faster than ufs 3.1)* see the explanation below
3. 12 gb ram standard on both 256 gb and 512 gb
4. OIS built in 50MP camera not that mate 40 pro has the same camera but without OIS
5.Ceramic back
6. 3D Depth Sensing Camera instead of laser sensor which you get on mate 40 pro
all in all mate 40 pro plus is a different phone than mate 40 pro
price difference isnt much on JD.com mate 40 pro 256gb is 6999 yaun ( 1060$) and mate 40 pro plus 256gb is 8999 yaun ( 1360$) so for 300$ more you get so much more that matters alot.
Based on the results of measuring the homegrown Huawei SFS 1.0 flash module, it was possible to establish that it provides almost a twofold increase in the speed of operation in comparison with the UFS 3.1 flash memory.
According to reports, the sequential write speed was 1280 MB/s, and random 548 MB/s.
In comparison, these figures for UFS 3.1 are 700 MB/s, and 200-300 MB/s, respectively, GizChina reported.

Hi friend I know the features of Huawei Mate 40 Pro + Plus NOP-AN00 and I thank you for the detailed explanation you wrote. On all the sites you mentioned to me there is no availability, also on vmall.com or jd you cannot buy it but only in China. As for the Flash memory on the NOP-AN00 Huawei Mate 40 Pro + Plus model there is no 512 Gb version but only and exclusively 256 Gb.

Friend I tried to register on the site you just told me to make purchases and I put the link with the article taken on the jd.com site and it works but you can not recharge with paypal and I do not like this because when I pay large amounts I use only paypal and second thing by doing the accounts on tradingshenzen I managed to buy it even if I'm still waiting for it to arrive at 1369 euros (1,625.60 USD) including Dhl express transport + paypal commissions regarding the tax and therefore all included so I would say the price agrees for the amount that I managed to win Huawei Mate 40 Pro + Plus NOP-AN00. But checking in all the Chinese sites jd etc. etc. the fact remains that Huawei Mate 40 Pro + Plus (NOP-AN00) are not available especially the white color so this lack of availability is not new to what I am understanding but really right now there is no availability and maybe next week they will send me.

Friend thank you but I have already purchased Huawei Mate 40 Pro + Plus (NOP-AN00) on November 2nd and am just waiting for them to ship it to me as soon as it is available. On aliexpress in addition to the fact that it costs a lot compared to what I managed to get it, they tell you all those units are available but it is not true because they give you 15/22 days shipping time with Dhl Express so it means that they are not available because the express courier it will never take all those days but they say it on purpose because they take time until it is available to them to be able to ship it. Believe me I have looked for this model in all places but there is no availability in any place really.
I contacted customer rep back when it was on sale on Feb 13th to make sure I could price match, they said yes and to order and contact them once the device ships. However, due to the snowstorm in Texas, the phone wasn't shipped until now and the promo is gone. I was stupid and didn't take a screenshot and now they refuse to honor the original reference ID. Does anyone have a screenshot of the S21 Ultra 5G phantom silver when it was still $200 off on Amazon?
Thank you.
