If you haven’t heard, Huawei’s new 2020 flagship smartphone lineup has just been unveiled. As usual, Huawei’s packing in quite some impressive hardware in its three new phones which should allow them to go head-to-head with the latest Samsung Galaxy S20 lineup.
To give you an idea of how these phones compare, we’ve put together a detailed table that lists the main specs of the Samsung Galaxy S20, the S20 Plus and Huawei’s P40 and P40 Pro.
Huawei P40, P40 Pro and P40 Pro+ specs, price and launch dates
Each device has its own unique advantages, but there are three factors that need extra consideration:
- Price: Samsung’s phones are slightly more expensive than Huawei’s
- Availability: While Huawei’s phones will be sold across Europe and most other global markets, they will not be sold in the US.
- Play Store Access: Huawei’s new devices do not have access to the Play Store or any of Google’s apps.
Take a look at the specs below and let us know how you think the new Huawei P40 Series smartphones stack up against the Samsung Galaxy S20 Series. If Play Store Access and availability were not a factor, would you buy a new Huawei P40 smartphone?
