The Mate 40 Pro is Huawei's latest flagship handset, and one of a select band whose pricing starts in four figures -- £1,099.99 (inc. VAT) with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage. If you're flush of wallet, you can also buy Samsung's Galaxy Note 20 Ultra (12GB/512GB) for £1,029 or Apple's iPhone 12 Pro Max (6GB/128GB) for £1,099.
To justify that sort of price, a flagship smartphone not only needs superb features, industrial design and build quality, but also a top-notch software experience. And that's where Huawei's recent top-end phones have had a problem.
