Hi Guys,
my wife is still using her p20 pro and she likes do upgrade it.
Use Case: Facebook/Messenger, Line App, Youtube (mybe google maps but thats rly kind of optional)
98% front camera
So I was looking for the best frontcam or selfie camera I can find, regardless of price.
p40 pro+ seems to be the best (checked s20 ultra too).
She does not need any more apps (maybe some kind oof photo editing but not soecial ones)
Would you recommend upgrading to p40 pro+ ?
Thank you
BR, Konz
I too have a P20 Pro and what an excellent phone it has been. I bought a P40 Pro + in October last year and it took me a very long time to get GMS sorted out on the phone.
My phone arrived pre-installed with 10.1.0.176. I achieved installing GMS by downgrading to 10.1.0.145; whilst I was finally able to install GMS, I have achieved it at the cost of losing OTA updates. I am currently looking to fix this (see this thread) but it seems the firmware I need is no longer available - so I am stuck again.
Yes, the phone & hardware is great but Huawei are doing their level best to make sure you can't use that hardware in the way you might want.
If you are willing to go through a whole lot of pain, then you *might* end up with a great phone. It's March 2021, six months down the line and I am still not there.
Huawei could have stuck the big finger up at Google & poured their immense dev effort into contributing & sorting out MicroG, but it seems that's far to altruistic for Huawei. They could have unlocked the bootloader but again that's far too altruistic for Huawei, for whom it seems to me your very expensive phone is simply a doorway into your private life and as a customer you really don't matter at all.
Looking back and considering the stuffy response I received to my support request, I'd advise your wife to hang on the her very decent P20 Pro and wait for another company to include a 10x zoom.
In short, in my humble opinion Huawei does not deserve your wife's custom.
With my best regards, Kitty Cat.

Don't ever buy a phone without a bootloader unlock option if you're a XDA user.
I'm returning my P40Pro+, felt completely trapped with critical apps unavailable (2FA Authenticator, Banks...).
SAD, but Huawei is becoming a software provider, so...

These applications run without the express need for GMS.
However, GMS can be installed on the P40 pro without any problems, I don't see why this could not be done on the P40 pro + as well.
With GMS installed you will have a 100% functional phone with no GMS restrictions.
Contact @ badmania98 and he will clarify in detail, what can be done and what not. But I think so, that GMS can be installed without problems and she will be able to use the phone at full capacity, without restrictions.
@RedWave31,
I don't think the P40 pro + is too different from the P40 pro ...
I installed GMS on the P40 pro since I bought it and used it without any problems, including NFC payment (in the meantime I switched to Mate40 pro, P40 pro remained with my son).
Hi, everyone!
Is there a way to run GMS on a (obviously Chinese) Mate 40 Pro Plus, preferably natively without using any virtual machine?
I was searching for an answer on the forum but I just can't find a definitive answer. I have seen comments about it being possible on Chinese versions of the Mate 40 Pro (and Plus) but I can't tell if it's true and can't find any tutorials on how to make it happen.
I would be very thankful if anyone could help me.
Thanks a lot!
Hey mate,
I don't have a Mate 40 Pro+, however, from what I read, it should be possible on Chinese variants. How? Well, apparently the LZPlay which allows to install Google services only works on Chinese variants. It used to work on devices like global Huawei P40 series, but on OLDER firmware. Kinda got out of topic here, but I just wanted to explain a bit.
Not a fan of this guy's videos
But if you follow the steps he showed, you should have GMS working on your Mate 40 Pro+. Again, I do not have this device, so I can't test it myself, but according to many people's experiences online, LZPlay, or in this case, "OurPlay" does work on Chinese variants of Huawei phones. Not sure if you gotta downgrade to a specific firmware, but probably not.
To people reading this: if I am wrong at any point in my post, feel free to point it out.

how can I flash Funtouch OS on the China variant of Vivo X70 Pro Plus, please?
It's not possibile.
I can't seem to find video bokeh mode on my X70 PRO PLUS.But most of the video on YouTube showed it's possible. What am I missing ! Also my phone is running most recent version of OS.
@Kotin89 Do you have funtouch or OriginOS version? There may be a difference. Almost all youtubers get the funtouch version.

Thank you for the reply @cmmdmx , I have funtouch OS. I did some digging around and it seems like its only available on the X70 pro and not not X70 pro plus. A very weird decision by Vivo !

Weird indeed, not available in my origin OS version either.
Could you do a quick check of the supported target fps on Funtouch? Vivo has limited 60fps support in external apps, which is a huge letdown.

Je voudrais acheter le téléphone en version indienne. Sur quel site puis je le trouver ?
I'm wondering whether people think it's a mistake to buy the Chinese version of the Vivo X70 Pro+.
I'm an English-speaker living in Italy, and the Chinese version is the only one available; I'd be buying it from Wonda. Compatibility with Italian networks doesn't look to be an issue. My concerns are the usual: bloatware, Chinese interface elements, Jovi instead of Hello Google, etc.
A couple of specific things: will this affect translation across apps (which is generally done via Google Translate)? I need to be able to translate stuff into Italian and Japanese, and from those languages into English.
And I'll need both Nova Launcher and WhatsApp. I do have a family member living in China, so if I have to sign up for things with a local phone number, that won't be an issue. Still, I worry I'm setting myself up for a major headache.

I buy my X70 Pro+ from Giztop eshop. No problems, the phone arrived in Ireland in about two weeks. No Custom payes. But I paid a lot, more than 900 €. Normally I always order from Tradingshenzen, but at that time they only had the most expensive version in stock. Today they are all available and 8 + 256 costs a great 827 €. With duty-free transport.
When unpacked from the box, it was already in the Google Play Store phone and the default English. Of course, there is bloatware (which mobile manufacturer doesn't?). Some Vivo applications are going to uninstall. The problem with Vivo apps is that they are 99% of the content is Chinese and I haven't found a way to change that. Actually, I'm not even interested, they just are there and I don't use them.
Origin OS settings are more difficult to understand. It took me a few days / hours to figure out how to allow various permissions and notifications for Google Play apps. The only problem still persists and that is that the phone does not notify me of received FB Messenger messages. In the settings, you can even click on the options "Default App Settings" and change Google applications to make calls for those from Vivo, etc. It's just still an Android OS. and the superstructure is inspired by MIUI and Oxygen OS for me. Google Assistant works when you press the microphone icon on the Google Taskbar, unfortunately it is written "currently unavailable on this device" for voice activation settings.
You don't need a Chinese phone number. You can create an account on the Vivo website via email and then log in to your phone with a password
@forgreenever Thank you! Very helpful. Sounds as if you don't regret not going with the global version.
Funny, I'm looking at Tradingshenzen now, and all of their X70 Pro+ models come with "Firmware: Multi - GE / EN /FR / ES/..." -- which sure sounds like global? (UPDATE: No, that seems to be the way they describe the Chinese version in many stores.)

Yes, these languages are in the official China Version of Origin OS. Few European languages.
I didn't seen nobody who can confirm languages inside India Funtouch OS
PS: Its actually my first phone with china version OS. And first Vivo and other BBK Electronics phone brands.
X70 Pro+ I choose because these great rated cameras. Its great experience for me. I worked before only with only Xiaomi and Samsung smartphones
I´ve got OriginOS version and I will be selling it.
All Google services work fine (Pay, Store etc.) but Android Auto does not work, battery life is poor and I do not get many notifications from messangers like WhatsApp or Signal (even if I set all permissions and disable battery optimization). The ROM is bloated with Chinese crap that cant be uninstalled and my network connection trough WiFi is very unstable.
The phone itself is great and the camera is amazing but OriginOS is complete trash and just not worth the trouble.

Bloatware can be easily uninstalled through adb command. To receive all notifications you have to remove com.pem.vivo.

I have removed some stuff trough ADB already but honestly I am not at age and mood to fiddle with the new phone anymore just to make it work. AndroidAuto not working and poor battery life is the main reason for me to sell it anyway.
Didnt know about com.pem.vivo though. I´ll give it a shot, thanks!

As far as I know, Android Auto doesn't work in any Android 11 phone if it is not a system app. Will see what is changed with Android 12 which has again different approach (through Assistant).
And the battery life is good.
Hi I'm a new android user, have Xiaomi 11T pro, which is amazing, it was easy to root ( a must for me) but the phone has its own glitches and MUIU is horrible..
I want to get a phone that's easy to root and OnePlus comes in here I guess.
Can someone pls tell me if OnePlus 10 Pro is easy to root and which model is the best to buy? As In what model codes should I be looking at? EU,Global, Chinese?
Thanks for the advice

Good morning colleagues, does anyone know what the test point of the vivo x60 pro plus is? I can't find information on the internet
Sorry can't help! I also had paid razor for he to do his magic on my phone, and I didn't know what he did, but my phone's been working fine an kept up-to-date with OTA updates so far.
