The price of the Huawei P40 has been leaked and is cheaper than its big rival, the Samsung Galaxy S20 series, but it will be up to users to decide if the lack of Google apps is worth the discount.

The leak comes from Teme, a rather prominent and reputable Twitter leaker, RODENT950 aka Teme. His latest post reveals the prices of the P40, P40 Pro, and P40 Premium Edition in euros, but also states that these prices could vary up to about $111 (€100) depending on regional markets.

He also posted the following image, which appears to be promotional art for the P40 launch event on March 26. He points out a bright star in the upper left corner of the phone, which seems to indicate a triple camera in the punch hole notch, but one or two of these sensors could be used for depth sensing or facial recognition, like the Mate 30 Pro's camera, rather than for taking pictures Possibly.

Looking back at the prices, we can see that even the most expensive model is about 100 euros cheaper than the equivalent Galaxy S20 model; the Galaxy S20 and Galaxy S20 Plus have only one 4G and one 5G variant, and the storage size is selectable for the Galaxy S20 Ultra is the only one, which is convenient.

However, since these are Huawei phones, Google apps and services are not available. Thanks to Huawei's own first-party apps and the slow development of the App Gallery storefront, you can get by without them, but it will be quite a shock to those accustomed to the typical Android experience.

As noted above, the P40 series will debut at an online launch event on March 26. Expect some great new camera tricks, including an upgraded "Super Spectrum" main sensor and an even more powerful periscope optical zoom lens. Almost certainly, a Kirin 990 5G CPU will be at the heart of the device and, hopefully, a colorful exterior design will make the phone stand out.
