To be honest the only reason I ended up with the Mate 40 is cos it was the only phone I could upgrade to on EE without my line rental going up. I was surprised they even had it so when they told me there would be no increase and I only needed to pay 55 English pounds sterling upfront I jumped at the chance. maybe its the only way they can sell them in the Uk.

hmm do EE have a page of sneaky workarounds and sideloads setup for it ? be nice if they did for the users who won't have a clue what they've walked into. |

Nothing iam aware of but there is no EE software of any description installed and oddly its also unlocked 3mel! which surprised me

On the EE forum someone asked: where can I get my Mate 40 unlocked? another member replied: have you tried another sim? mines already unlocked EE then responded and asked: where did you buy your phone from? imagine their surprise when the reply came: from EE lol. It sounds like some unlocked handsets have slipped through the net. Finally I now have 5G reception in my area on 02 and the Mate 40 works fine on their 5G.

Things seem to be looking better and better, pretty chuffed with this news as the Mate 40 Pro has really got me loving it lol, the great thing here is that developers are always trying to find ways to improve the Huawei experience because it still has a huge market share in China and in places like Australia, New Zealand and the African continent that all have a great amount of Chinese expats, it's actually beneficial for developers to do all they can to support Huawei devices.

@ banbury - 16.04.21 - 10:14pm Ive got Petal maps now with the latest update but I havnt tried it out yet Yeah same here. By the way have you noticed how the Always On Display lights up if you walk up to the phone? Almost as if there is a sensor that is monitoring the room or something? If I take a few steps to the phone or I simply sit up from the couch while the phone is on the table the AOD lights up, very interesting. Leave it on the table, walk out the room and comeback towards the phone and boom it lights up. |

phones have a proximity sensor that knows when your phone is up against your face (in calls, to avoid face touches) maybe they've added another wider field version that detects someone's approach !?
