In this post, we compare the Huawei Mate 40 vs Huawei Mate 40 Pro to determine what are the main differences between the two. However, this comparison is not aimed at determining which of the two is better compared to the other because the pro version is always better. This is because the Po version of the Mate 40 series has a bigger display and more powerful hardware.
