There’s also a rather large pill-shaped hole punch on the upper left which houses an IR scanner for face unlock, proximity sensor, and the 32MP selfie camera.

- The P40 Pro+ has 5 cameras at the back. The primary, ultra-wide and ToF cameras remain the same, however, the 5x telephoto camera is replaced by two different 8MP zoom units – a 240 mm periscope camera with 10x optical zoom (industry-leading), and another 3x optical zoom camera for portraits and zoom consistency.
- Huawei’s new AppGallery is standard on the P40 series which is supposed to be a replacement for Google apps. Also, there’s a new AI voice assistant called Celia.
