I got a Samsung A51 as a work phone a few months ago. I have been using a Huawei P10 Lite. I have to say, I really really enjoy my Samsung. Screen is great, battery is lekker and photos are good too.

Was due for a upgrade this week, but sadly due to lockdown no one had the Samsung A71 which price wise looks about the same as the P40 Lite, but in terms of specs the Samsung Pulls ahead, I think the direct competitor would be the A51 ...

A51 to the P40 lite is only that the Samsung AMOLED screen being much better. Huawei destroys it in every other department.

You can't really compare the A71 to the P40 lite different pricepoints Huawei has something further up the mid range phone stable i'm sure to compete there.

As mentioned above for Android you can still use the google apps through Huawei Store. Settings for gmail can be loaded onto email apps etc. So the lack of access to the Play store is not really a problem and I would suggest that its probably more secure not to use the Play Store.
