Last week’s survey shows that Huawei’s new phones can fend for themselves, even without Google’s software ecosystem. However, there are several factors that will affect the performance of new models on the market.
We gave the Huawei Mate 40 Pro its own survey, as this one will first have a global launch – the units will be available in Europe next month. About 20% of voters are ready to buy one as soon as local stores open for sales.
A little more people are interested, but think that the price of € 1200 is too high. There’s still time before the pre-orders start, so maybe Huawei can change its mind with a good pre-order package. And if not, the prices of Huawei phones fall over time, unlike other brands.
The pool of potential buyers is even larger if modders find an easy way to load apps that are not available on Huawei’s AppGallery (and we must keep in mind that the company is busy bringing in or replacing all key apps).
Things will get interesting if the Huawei Mate 40 Pro + launches globally, as it surpassed the Pro in the second survey. One of the main reasons to buy a Huawei is the excellent Leica camera, so it makes sense to go for the top model, even if it costs € 200 more.
That money buys you OIS on the main 50MP camera, a wider ultra-wide lens, an additional telephoto camera, a longer periscope range, and 4 more gigs of RAM. However, the P40 Pro + is still exclusive to China, so we don’t have high hopes that it will make the world tour.
Unsurprisingly, all the other models sparked little interest. It looks like Europe won’t even get the non-Pro model this year, but it looks like it won’t make much of a difference in any way. And the overheated Mate 30E Pro might not exist, too.
The results of the two surveys combine into an interesting conclusion: the perfect combination of cameras can justify buying a top-notch flagship, and conversely, missing camera features can make a phone look expensive.
