Which has a front camera and temperature and light sensors. The screen ratio is 93.24%. At the same time, the 80 ° arc of the curved screen is relatively moderate. The waterfall is not as exaggerated as the screen.
A “rectangular space” design concept has been adopted behind the Honor V40 mobile phone. The most notable feature is the use of a different surface technology from other regions to visually separate the rectangular space parallel to the camera module.
In the rectangular space, there are English descriptions of the camera module and the camera. They are on the left and right respectively. Which looks very sorted.
In addition to the rectangular space, the entire back of the Honor V40 adopts a double-layer textured coating process. The two coatings present different light reflection assumptions. Obtain a fuzzy surface light with a sharp linear light on one layer and two different luminosities on the other. Mixed together, with an elegant rose gold color, it looks very warm.
Another embodiment of the double-layer coating process is the “HONOR” logo on the lower back. Shows a slightly tilted angle of view. Below the logo is a layer of “shadow”, which makes the back of the phone look three-dimensional.
Hardware |

At the same time, the overall workmanship of the phone is more sophisticated and solid, and its presence is online.
2. Honor V40 5G Screen experience |
The Honor V40 is equipped with a 6.72-inch curved OLED screen with a resolution of 1236×2676 and supports a 10-bit (8 + 2 bit) 1 billion primary color display. The color gamut The DCI-P3 can support wide color gamut with a contrast ratio of 5000000: 1. This screen also supports HDR10 display.
Apart from this, Honor V40 screen is also equipped with color restoration engine technology. Which can make color restoration more accurate. The image can automatically identify the P3 and SRGB source, pursuing true restoration of the source.
During the experience, the Gadget pixels marked the Honor V40’s screen quality, and measured its color gamut to 99.6% sRGB, 84.3% Adobe RGB and 89.9% DCI P3.
Display Color |
In terms of color accuracy, the average color deviation of Honor V40 5G measured by Gadget Pixels is 0.53. The highest color deviation value is 2.82, which is red. Overall, the color accuracy of this screen is very good.
In terms of grayscale display, the Gadget Pixels Honor V40 allows 256-level grayscale colors to be displayed. This can be seen from the screen. That Honor V40 exhibits delicate and natural grayscale from white and black. In fact, it seems so. That the transition between excessive black and white can also be achieved. see the difference.
In terms of viewing angle, the Gadget Pixels Honor V40 5G can be viewed approximately 90 ° vertically and 45 ° diagonally from two different viewing angles. There is a drawback, but the color doesn’t quite drift, and the viewing angle is good.
Given the effect of displaying real high-definition photos. You can see that the Honor V40’s screen color is bright and saturated, and the blue sky, green grass and trees look very bright.

3. Honor V40 5G Performance |
The Honor V40 is equipped with the Dimensity 1000+ flagship chip from MediaTek. This chip uses a 7nm process technology. The core architecture is an 8-core design with 4 Cortex-A77 large cores and 4 Cortex-A55 small cores. The GPU is Mali- G77, also equipped with an APU upgraded to version 3.0, has stronger AI performance.
At the system level, the Honor V40 GPU supports the Turbo X graphics acceleration engine. Which can release the capacity of the chip. The GPU Turbo X graphics acceleration engine can improve graphics computing capabilities through software and hardware collaboration technology. This allows computing resources to be prioritized by CPU and GPU resource exchanges, and AI model intelligent perception adjustment.
This game can control the rendering load throughout the process of rendering, controlling CPU / GPU / DDR bottlenecks. Automatically experiences game scene. Graphics rendering controls the load and resource supply. This reduces the overall load of graphics processing during the game, and can achieve higher levels in some games. The frame rate (120 Hz) is constant without dropping frames.
At the same time, the Honor V40 also supports a global 120Hz super-sensing screen display engine with a 300Hz touch sampling rate. So that users can always maintain a smooth and silky screen and fast operation rate during the game.
Honor V40 5G Gaming Performance |
In actual testing, the Gadget Pixels used the “Peace Elite” game to do the test for the first time. At approximately 20 minutes of playing time, the Honor V40 runs the “Peace Elite” in absolute high quality. The average frame rate can reach 39.8fps (full frame 40fps). The entire game process can be guaranteed to be smooth and uninterrupted, and there is no apparent degradation. Frame position.
At the end of the game, the Gadget Pixels measured that the highest temperature of the Honor V40 phone was near the rear camera module, and the temperature could reach 38.8 ° C. If you hold it in your hand. So, you will feel the phone warm, but not hot.
The editor then tested “Honor of Kings” and played for about 13 minutes at the highest quality. The average frame rate of the Honor V40 can reach 59.6fps, which is very smooth overall.
To allow users to get a better gaming performance experience, the Honor V40 also supports a customized version of the Honor Game Assistant. The game is built into assistive system. Open the game, it can be started automatically.
The Glory customized version of Game Assistant has a specially customized UI theme. The Hunter Boost Hunter game supports the full-blood engine, and allows the phone to fully release its performance capability during gaming.
Honor Mobile Assistant supports functions such as increasing the display and 4D Vibration, especially 4D Vibration. Which can bring more immersing gaming experience. In addition to the 4D vibration for games such as “Glory of the King”, the game can improve the comprehension effect of the characters.
Of course, Honor Game Assistant can also prevent users from playing irrelevant information while playing the game, and can also optimize three-party call notifications. Supports the caller’s picture-in-picture and party perfectly.
4. Photo exposure Experience |
The Honor V40 has a rear three-camera imaging system. Which includes 50MP super-sensitive main camera, 8MP ultra-pixels-angle camera and 2MP macro camera. As well as a laser focus sensor, the TEC camera is 16MP.
Among these, the 50MP main camera features a 1 / 1.56-inch flagship super-large sensor, 25% larger than the Honor V30Pro 1 / 1.7-inch area. Additionally, it is also a RYYB ultra-sensitive battery. Is of ordinary sensor. 40% increase in light input as compared.
In terms of real photo effects, the Gadget Pixels also tested it. There is a brightly lit environment during the first day. The Honor V40’s straight pictures have clear pictures, and the colors are slightly flat, making it look real.
Zoom Experience |
After zooming the photo, the mark of “remote glory” on the distant building is still clearly visible. This shows that the photo has a good resolution.
Since there is no telephoto lens, the “2X” zoom of the viewfinder interface is achieved by zooming in and cropping 50 million high-pixel images. Under the 2x zoom, the Honor V40’s shooting picture clarity and detail is still satisfactory, and the imaging style is inherently similar to that in standard mode.
Subsequently, the editor changed a scene with relatively strong light contrast. The sun shines on one side of the road. The building on the other side is blocked off, creating a backlit area in the photo. In the pictures of the Honor V40, whether it is a directly sun-facing high-light area on the right or a hotel building backlit on the left, the brightness and details are well balanced. it can be seen that. That Honor V40’s imaging performs well in terms of dynamic range.
However, in this photo, we can also see the traces of the algorithm HDR. Which is mainly reflected in purple in large light area. There is still room for improvement in the algorithm of multi-frame synthesis.
With a 2-megapixel macro camera, the Honor V40 can also take macro photos. As can be seen from the sample below. Honor V40 can focus and shoot at very close distances. However, 2 million pixels is a bit inadequate in terms of screen resolution.
Night-Shot |
The time came at night, and the Gadget Pixels took a picture at the intersection of the downtown area. In light conditions at night, the brightness and accuracy of Honor V40 sample images is acceptable, and the dynamic range is also good. There is no obvious highlight in the small signs of the interior of the mall and store across the street.
When the photo is zoomed in. So the street signs, advertisements and other text on the other side of the road are not confusing, and is on a resolvable line at night.
The Honor V40 also supports night scene photo mode, and Gadget Pixels also took a set of comparative photos. In standard mode, the Honor V40 still retains good picture brightness and precision. But some noise is visible in the highlight area in the lower left corner.
Turn on night view photo mode. Wait about 7 seconds for the shutter to take a picture, and then you can get a better overall look and feel. In the night view mode, the brightness and accuracy of the photo is greatly improved. The noise area in the lower left corner, noise is also significantly suppressed.
Video Shooting Experience |
In terms of video shooting, the Honor V40 has a more practical function. That is, 3mic recording zoom, i.e. when shooting video, the sound will change the directionality as the focus of the screen. For example, in the video below, when the image is on the square. So the Honor V40 can convey three-dimensional sound around the video, and when the focus of the picture goes to that scene. The sound waves where the waves hit the coast will become the “main sound”. And as the picture comes in, the sound of the waves will intensify.
This video recording and recording zoom function can help users to shoot more cinematic videos, and is also very suitable for some Vloggers. When they shoot some conversation videos. So the voice of the person facing the picture is the clearest. Shooting effect will be greatly improved.
Generally, the Honor V40’s imaging capability is at a qualifying level. Which cannot be called amazing. But the shooting effect is basically satisfactory.
Other shooting proofs of Honor V40 are as follows:
5. Honor V40 5G System experience |
Although Honor has become independent, the Honor V40 is still equipped with the Magic UI 4.0 system based on Android 10. In terms of UI design and functional usage, the overall and previous Honor phones are not much different.
In terms of system interface, the Honor V40 is still what we are familiar with in the design language between color and smart color matching, quasi-object and flat. Everything is the same as before.
The system account still maintains the original account system, and users are not required to register a new account. At the same time, the app that comes with the Honor V40 Magic UI 4.0 system is no different from the original. Which includes smart life etc., which is also the original style.
Honor v40’s UI experience |
Honor V40’s Magic UI 4.0 also has a wealth of system functions. The first thing I want to talk about is the new smart AOD (interface display).
On the Honor V40, there are a variety of individual AOD screens to choose from, touch the screen, touch the phone’s picture. The signature, style can be customized, and you can also set live photos and gifs taken as AOD.
At the same time, when you face the color scheme of your choice. So turn on the camera to take pictures, and then you can set your favorite color scheme to AOD.
Another useful feature of Magic UI 4.0 is AI subtitles. This function can realize real-time translation of videos into English, Japanese and Korean through AI video source analysis. (Some functions require later system upgrade support), and automatically synchronizes subtitles translated into Chinese into videos without waiting for subtitle group processing. Very useful for American and Japanese TV series friends.
The Honor V40 also supports that smart multi-window function. With which we are familiar. When in use, slide and hover over the edge of the phone screen to call the smart multi-window sidebar, and then select the application you want to split the screen in the sidebar. Drag it to the main screen area to achieve this. split screen.
Floating window Experience |
You can also change the application to a floating window. The Honor V40 5G can add two application floating windows at the same time, and the size of the floating window can be adjusted. If more applications are added to the floating window. Then additional applications will be stored in the floating ball. Which is convenient for switching queuing applications at any time in a suspended window.
In addition, the “Memo” application that comes with the Honor V40 has also been newly upgraded. It can now call the camera to scan documents and make document corrections after scanning. At the same time, the new “memo” also supports the extraction of text from photographs for two. It is very easy to use after editing and saving as PDF, Word, TXT, HTML and other formats.
In short, if you were a user of Honor mobile phones. So for the Honor V40, you can basically switch to the system software level basically. The overall user experience is also relatively good.
6. Charge and endurance test |
The Honor V40 is equipped with a 4000mAh (typical price) battery and supports 66W wired fast charging. The Gadget Pixels tested the charging speed of the Honor V40. it can be seen that. That the charging speed of this phone is very fast. Starting from zero, it can be charged up to 47% in 15 minutes, and it only takes 37 minutes to fully charge.
In terms of battery life, Gadget Pixels also conducted a 3-hour battery life test. Prior to testing, the editor kept the phone’s initial battery level at 100%, screen brightness and system volume at 50%, and the mobile data network was turned on. The performance of Honor V40 in endurance test is as follows:
- 15 minutes of web page viewing, 1% power consumption;
- Scan the Weibo for 15 minutes and consume 2% power;
- 15 minutes talk, power consumption 1%;
- Wearing headphones to listen to music for 20 minutes, consumes 2% power;
- Wear headphones to play 1080p video online for 45 minutes and consume 6% power;
- Play the game “Peace Elite” with headphones for 30 minutes and consume 12% power;
- Use WeChat for 20 minutes (10 minutes to chat, 10 minutes to scan moments), power consumption 3%;
- Brushing in an Gadget Pixels for 20 minutes consumes 2% power.
- After a 180-minute battery life test, the Honor V40 has 71% battery power, which is excellent in battery life.
Summary |
As the first mobile phone launched by Honor after independence, the Honor V40 is a comprehensive online product. Which features unique ID design, excellent screen, powerful fast charging and similar system functions as in the past. The advantages of this phone, of course, in terms of image and performance, there is still room for improvement. But for the present glory, in fact, the overall experience has exceeded my expectations, and it can be said. That present glory may be presented to consumers. Optimal configuration, performance and experience combination.
I think it is worth buying. That if you’re not an “extreme parameter party”, the Honor V40 deserves further consideration.
