Huawei P40 Deals & Offers

Accurate and woeful account of the use of P40 and some other later Huawei phones. Thanks for the comment and time to expire the deal.

With these phones, it's not just about using Google products as you can pretty much use shortcuts or other apps (bluemail for gmail) But apps relying on GMS that makes it frustrating! Even HUKD notifications don't work on P40 pro. No ebay, no NatWest. Curve pay requires you to unlock the screen twixe everytime you make payment! Banking apps has no notifications. So even if you use website to transfer etc (have you seen NatWest web? Terrible UI!), you get zero notifications about any activities! Even Monzo has no notifications! I'm typing this on my P40 Pro and resetting my P30 Pro at the same time so i can switch back to it! I'll move to Xperia 1 iii (or iv when it's out) Byebye Huawei. You had 3 years to convince me and you failed miserably!

You can easily add play store to that phone by buying cheap Moto phone and using cable ties to join them together :D 8)

Thanks. Because of lack of Google Mobile Services, no security features and therefore Google Pay won't work as you have correctly pointed out. I don't know about Netflix in HD as I don't use it.

The lack of play store is more of a bummer.

So no then

so you can get Google Pay? I didnt think that was possible on anything after P30 Pro?

They make these honor or magic models now and they're 1000£ so yeah.. would be nice to see stuff like the p20 pro again

Anyone think it's still worth buying a p40, and installing the Google stuff themselves? Or is it not worth the trouble? Thanks in advance

Me too :/ My girlfriend was super excited waiting for it...

Anyone elses order got cancelled or just me?

(embarrassed)

Heat for the price, plus you know it's a great deal when @MrSwitch says so (lol)

sorry my bad @MrSwitch

This ain't my deal my man (embarrassed) (excited) I can't honestly say I've looked recently, sorry fella

@MrSwitch great deal as always, but do you have any good deals for Huawei p40 Pro or mate 40 Pro? thx

Adding Google Mobile Services (Googlifier!) quite easy if you can follow instruction. The phone is absolutely brilliant and the only let down is the lack of contactless payment. I have it set with all the banks (Natwest, Nationwide, Virgin, Monzo, Halifax, HSBC, ...) without trouble straight from the Google app store so that's not a limitation

Worked on clone app transfer Save the mobile browser link is another easy option if you have problems. Done that with YouTube and Google using Edge browser

XDA googlifier APK might work

There was a Grade B for £294 recently.

My P20 has been a great phone. My best ever. But without apps such as Waze it is of no use. Sadly back to Samsung for my next phone, I guess.

Had a P40 lite for a few weeks now. Google play is hard to install. None of the instruction videos work. There is a way involving downgrading all the software first but not tried yet it yet. It was easy on my kindle fire but not on this. The killer isn't so much the Google stuff. It's ebay, PlayStation app as a lot of these use Google services. Some flag a message saying won't run, no play services then work anyway! But it's 50/50. Bargain though if your a basic user though. Camera I great on mine so I assume better on the none lite. Heat

MrSwitch with another banger of a deal!

Totally agree. I've used Huawei P series since the P8 and I just can't go to the P40 series without GSM. Google pay doesn't work with side loading and I'd be worried of using hacked installs to get round this. So sad as I've no idea where to go for my next phone. Will probably keep my P30 Pro for another year.

google mobile services

I think if it had Google by default this would blow a lot of phones out of competition

Had this phone, sold it, and going back to it. It’s really really hard to beat for photography. Had the S21 ultra and this knocks the spots of it for the camera. Going to rebuy at this price.

I really love what Huawei are doing with their phones and in house SOC, and using open source android, Xiaomi however has comfort with GMS and Qualcomm. It's never easy!
