The Huawei P40 Pro Plus stands as the ultimate zenith of mobile photography innovation and luxury craftsmanship in Huawei's P-series history, introducing the world's first true 10x optical zoom multi-reflection periscope system inside a bespoke nano-tech microcrystalline ceramic chassis. Driving the flagship is Huawei's top-tier 7nm EUV+ HiSilicon Kirin 990 5G octa-core processor, featuring two prime Cortex-A76 cores clocked at 2.86 GHz, two Cortex-A76 performance cores running at 2.36 GHz, and four energy-saving Cortex-A55 cores at 1.95 GHz, coupled with the 16-core Mali-G76 graphics engine and dual-core NPU for real-time generative computer vision tasks. Complemented by 8GB of high-speed LPDDR5X RAM and a massive 512GB of high-speed UFS 3.0 internal storage (expandable up to 256GB via Huawei's proprietary Nano Memory card slot), it delivers effortless multi-tasking, high-speed 5G data throughput, and sustained gaming performance running on EMUI with Android (utilizing Huawei Mobile Services and Huawei AppGallery). Internal thermals are regulated via an oversized 3D graphene vapor chamber cooling architecture.
Visuals are showcased on a gorgeous 6.58-inch Quad-Curve Overflow OLED display (1200 x 2640 pixels) with a 19.8:9 aspect ratio, 441 ppi pixel density, and an expansive 91.01% screen-to-body ratio where the glass elegantly overflows across all four borders. The panel offers a fluid 90Hz refresh rate, DCI-P3 wide color gamut, and HDR10 certification for rich contrast and accurate tonal mapping. Protected by Corning Gorilla Glass, the display integrates Acoustic Display technology where the screen itself vibrates to function as the earpiece speaker, eliminating top bezel cutouts. Biometric security is comprehensive, featuring an under-display optical fingerprint scanner alongside dedicated 3D Infrared (IR) Face Recognition housed in the front pill-shaped cutout for instant, secure authentication in total darkness.
Photography is anchored by the world-renowned Leica Penta camera array featuring the groundbreaking SuperSensing Zoom system. The primary wide camera features a massive 1/1.28-inch custom 50 MP Ultra Vision sensor (23mm equivalent, f/1.9 aperture, Octa PD autofocus, hardware Optical Image Stabilization) with an RYYB color filter array for class-leading low-light light capture. It is accompanied by a dedicated 40 MP Cine Camera (18mm, f/1.8, 1/1.54" sensor, PDAF) engineered specifically for ultra-wide shots and cinematic 4K video, an 8 MP 3x optical telephoto camera (80mm, f/2.4, OIS) for portrait framing, an engineering-marvel 8 MP multi-reflection periscope camera (240mm, f/4.4, OIS) delivering 10x true optical zoom and up to 100x digital zoom, and a 3D Depth Sensing TOF camera for progressive natural background separation. The camera system captures jaw-dropping 7680fps ultra-slow-motion video at 720p and cinema 4K UHD video at 60fps with gyro-EIS, triple OIS, and directional audio zoom. On the front, a 32 MP autofocus selfie camera (f/2.2, 26mm) paired with an IR TOF 3D sensor supports crisp 4K selfie video at 60fps and hands-free smart gesture navigation.
Powering the device is a durable 4200 mAh lithium-polymer battery engineered with intelligent AI power allocation. It supports rapid 40W wired Huawei SuperCharge alongside an industry-first 40W wireless SuperCharge, and fast 27W reverse wireless charging to power secondary phones and accessories on the go. Wrapped in a luxurious, diamond-polished ceramic back and frame available in White Ceramic and Black Ceramic, the smartphone carries certified IP68 dust and water resistance up to 1.5 meters for 30 minutes. Rounding out this ultra-flagship are Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax), Bluetooth 5.1 with aptX HD, high-speed USB Type-C 3.1 with DisplayPort 1.2 video out, an integrated infrared (IR) blaster, full-function NFC, and Dual 5G SIM standby connectivity.
