  • After the display debacle, our journey with the Mate 40 Pro comes to a somber end. Just like that, its many components lie peacefully in front of us, ready for our final judgement.

  • Though it was eager to befriend us, the Mate 40 Pro turned out to be hiding some unpleasant secrets.

  • Its relative modularity and battery pull tabs are heartwarming, but booby trap cables and a disorganized design are the first drops of rain on the parade. The downpour starts when you get to the display though. No critical component should be that difficult to replace.

  • It was nice to see Huawei make the call to return to the original stereo speaker setup: the new/old earpiece speaker is a modular part that greatly simplifies replacements.

  • Let's find out just how friendly this Mate will be to its future owners! Keep scrolling to see our repairability score.
