But does the Huawei P40 Pro really live up to the hype that Huawei and first reviewers have built up?

We give it a good TWFLD test to see, hear, and feel how Huawei’s greatest stands against Samsung’s and Apple’s champions.

The Design and Display

Despite the gorgeous gradients, the Huawei P40 Pro might not look all that special. Make no mistake, its use of monochrome colours are eye-catching and tasteful and even give it an ultra-premium feel, but that is now the case with many smartphones these days, even across tiers. That, however, might be a point in favour of Huawei.

It didn’t change a winning formula simply for the sake of changing it. Consumers may have gotten tired of all the disruptive changes in smartphone design that has happened in the past two to three years. In a sense, the Huawei P40 Pro settles down on a now familiar design while still offering a bit of flair with a new “Nanotech Ceramic” body that the company claims has sapphire-like toughness. At the same time, Huawei applied a new refractive matte finish. That helps avoid fingerprints and smudges. Buyers in Mzansi will appreciate that the company threw in a clear plastic case in the box.

That body requires five days of curing, Huawei said earlier this year, and is then precision milled for a diamond-like sheen. Upon close inspection I noticed that even the camera bulge on the back has been given etched lines, which are designed to catch and reflect light for a more visually pleasing device.

The display, on the other hand, is as eye-catching as the rear. Yes, it does have bright colours, almost no bezels, and an almost forgettable camera cut-out. But, then again, many phones sport that design these days. The P40 Pro’s slight advantage is that its left and right sides now curve as well, further reducing the visual impact of borders. Hidden underneath this screen is the earpiece speaker as well as the in-display fingerprint reader, larger than before, which is about 30-percent faster than the old version.

The Huawei P40 Pro’s screen is definitely bright and vivid, something Huawei dubbed Quad-Curve Overflow Display. That wraps around all four sides of the phones, as though water overflowing. It doesn’t just look good: it’s also designed so that gesture swipes in Android are more comfortable from all directions. The P40 Pro gets a 6.58-inch 90Hz OLED at 2640 x 1200 resolution.

Specs and Performance

The P40 Pro comes with the best hardware that Huawei has to offer. And by that we mean late 2019 best. The company hasn’t yet launched a new application processor so it’s no surprise that this year’s star still runs on the Kirin 990 5G processor that Huawei has used in the Mate 30. By no means is it slow nor is it starting to show its age. The 8 GB of RAM is definitely plenty but if you want to supplement the 256 GB of storage (minimum), you’ll have to hope you can get your hands on Huawei’s proprietary nanoSD card.

Overall, the P40 Pro is pretty snappy, partly thanks to Huawei’s EMUI Android experience which we’ll get to in a moment. The beefy specs make sure you won’t be slowing down your phone no matter how many apps or tabs you have open. But if you feel that some frames are dropping in your game, Huawei’s GPU Turbo will allocate more resources for your entertainment.

The one area where Huawei’s premium flagship does falter a bit is in audio. As with any single speaker system, sounds can get pretty loud but lack the bass to give them weight. Unlike LG, Huawei didn’t utilize its piezoelectric in-screen speaker to supplement that. Audiophiles will probably see themselves reaching for their favourite Bluetooth headsets as the phone doesn’t have a headphone jack. I do, more than once. The phone does come with USB-C earphones, thankfully, but they will hardly satisfy those who need their music to get through the day.

The P40 Pro does excel in its battery life. That may not be that surprising, considering the 4200 mAh battery and screen resolution. That may also be thanks to EMUI once again. Typical usage might see you reaching for a charger after a day and a half, though you can probably stretch it all the way to two days with battery saving modes and less frequent use. When it does come to charge, the 40W fast charging makes that downtime even shorter. Yes, there’s wireless charging and even reverse wireless charging, but don’t expect those to be blazing fast, especially the latter.

There’s a Dual SIM slot and eSIM. You can use a Nano SIM and an eSIM, or slot in one of Huawei’s NM memory cards. WiFi 6 is supported, too.

Software

The Huawei P40 Pro comes with Android but it’s not the Pie you’ll see on Google’s Pixel, of course. As with any Huawei phone, this comes with EMUI. It has definitely changed and improved over the past few years but it’s still a double-edged sword as far as experiences go.

What you don’t get, of course, is Google apps or services. While it runs Android, Huawei’s P40 series uses the company’s own AppGallery store rather than the Google Play store. It’s working with TomTom on a Google Maps replacement, and has its own voice assistant called Celia, which will stand in for the Google Assistant. Celia is only available in select markets at the moment, of which South Africa is not one.

Whether that will be enough to convince potential buyers remains to be seen. Few would deny that Huawei’s P-Series phones have serious photography talents, but the continued absence of Google apps and services leaves them at a significant disadvantage compared to Samsung and others. So I thought too until the P40 Pro arrived on my review desk.

Switching over the P40 from my P30 was seamless, thanks to Huawei’s Phone Clone app. It moved apps compatible with the device while Google issued apps didn’t make the cut. Huawei’s very own App Gallery has a plethora of apps available, but I found that my most favourite were not. Applications such as Aurora make it possible to side-load apps you miss. It works exactly like Google Play store and houses all your favourite apps. While you may download them, they most likely will not work as GMS is not available. In rare and very surprising cases, some do work.

Some people might immediately be turned off by the iOS-like aesthetics. Others will bemoan the plethora of Huawei apps pre-installed. The former can be fixed with a few settings and theme changes, but the former is harder to escape. There’s still no way to uninstall Huawei’s own apps so the best you can do is hide them. That’s all within reason as they complete Huawei’s ecosystem and work hand in hand with each other.

On the other hand, much of the P40 Pro’s touted performance and power-efficiency are partly credited to EMUI. Huawei makes use of some AI and machine learning to learn the user’s habits and optimize performance based on those patterns, like pre-loading apps or guessing where users will tap next. It also does some heavy process management, sometimes too aggressive for people’s tastes.

Cameras

All of the above, however, doesn’t exactly define the Huawei P40 Pro. All things considered, these are traits that are also shared by its biggest rivals, the Samsung Galaxy S20+ and Apple iPhone 11 Pro. What really sets the P40 Pro apart is its four cameras, really three and a half, each with their special talent.

The one you will use the most will be the 50 megapixel main sensor. Don’t be deceived by that large number as you will rarely set the camera app to that. In fact, the camera’s default mode is 10 megapixel, where four pixels are combined to produce a higher-quality picture. Its special feature, however, is what Huawei calls “SuperSpectrum” sensor. Instead of the usual RGB sensor, it uses RYYB, replacing green with two yellows based on the theory that visible light has more yellow than green and that green is dragged in by the yellow anyway.

That’s the theory and, in practice, it actually works very well. Huawei has really outdone itself and deserves to retain its crown as the top smartphone camera in the market. That SuperSpectrum sensor pays off really well in low-light where even the standard mode can produce astonishing output without any special tricks. Turn on Night Mode and you can do magic and turn night into day.

And then there’s the new kid on the block, the 12 megapixel telephoto lens. Again, don’t be swayed or disappointed by the number. This is the much-rumoured camera with a 5x optical zoom unheard of in smartphone cameras. That’s thanks to the periscope design of the lenses that let Huawei cram more in less space. Because it uses optical zooming, it doesn’t degrade the quality of the resulting image, though with a 12 megapixel f/3.4 camera you might feel you’re not getting that much detail in the first place.

Compared to these two, the 40 megapixel ultra-wide-angle camera almost seems boring. But more than just letting you take panoramic shots without needing to go into panorama mode, all three of those cameras work to deliver a 10x hybrid zoom that is, again, unheard of on smartphones. Naturally, it won’t be as crisp as an optical zoom but it is still by far better than what other smartphones can achieve at that level with digital zoom alone. The P40 Pro does have a 50x digital zoom but, to be honest, you probably won’t want to use that anyway.

That “and a half” is the 3D time-of-flight sensor, the fourth camera on the Huawei P40 Pro’s back. Often linked with augmented reality applications, Huawei also uses the ToF sensor to improve its portrait mode, a.k.a. bokeh simulation, beyond what even dual cameras with depth sensors can do. It can accurately separate the subject from both foreground and background and can even distinguish the complicated edges surrounding the subject. The result is a more accurate and more pleasing blur.

The Huawei P40 Pro also has a front camera with a whopping 32 megapixels and one of the few in the market that supports HDR, at least for videos only. By going with a cut-out in the OLED display, Huawei is able to place additional sensors that give the camera an edge in face recognition and bokeh simulation. The result is both better bokeh, as well as faster face-unlock, including in low-light conditions. The phone is also able to record 4K selfie video. An attention-aware screen is able track when you’re watching the P40 and stop it from locking, even if you’re not touching the display. Huawei is using its gesture sensor for hands-free scrolling and screenshots too.

In Conclusion

Huawei has done it again and has produced a smartphone that should make Samsung and Apple worry. At more or less almost the same price as those two’s own flagships, the P40 Pro offers a mobile photography experience that perhaps only Google’s next Pixel might be able to threaten. Save for a few paper cuts, like unimpressive audio and a heavily-customised Android experience, the Huawei P40 Pro is almost perfect in every way. For some it might be a problem, but there is life without Google.

Sadly, Huawei isn’t just fighting against rivals in the smartphone market, it is also fighting against perception and politics. Because of that, the P40 Pro’s biggest flaw for consumers isn’t technical. It’s that they won’t have a chance to experience everything that it has to offer. At least not in an officially supported way.

The P40 Pro retails for R20 999 in either Black or Silver Frost.

Tshegofatso Harmonix Phiri contributed his legendary photography skills to this review.

The negative point, however, is the Android system, which does not make use of Google’s Mobile Services and technologies. That’s no downfall though, as we found in our review of the P40 Pro device here. To be fair, we had to put both the Huawei P40 Pro and Samsung S20+ on a show off and let the best man win.

Design and Screen

The Huawei P40 Pro flaunts a refined design although the rear panel looks almost identical to Samsung Galaxy S20+. The phone features a square-cut design with a tall form-factor and curved edges on all four sides. The metal and glass sandwiched body has a matte texture to protect the back panel from fingerprint smudges (at least you won’t have to pull your fibre cloth to wipe off the smudges). The phone has a rectangular camera block at the top left corner. The curved edges between the front and black panels are crafted to offer better ergonomics. The Huawei P40 Pro features an edge display with a pill-shaped cut-out that houses the dual-sensor selfie camera. At the bottom, the phone has a USB Type-C reversible connector.

Meanwhile, the Samsung Galaxy S20+ is encased in a glass body with a metal frame chiselled in between the Corning Gorilla Glass 6 panel. The curved bezel-less display has a small cut-out at the top centre to embed the front camera. Similar to the Huawei P40 Pro’s rectangular camera bump that covers some portion of the back panel, the S20 has similar traits. That aside, the volume keys and power button are thankfully placed on the same side (unlike the previous models) for easy access. At the bottom, the speaker grill sits alongside the USB-C port.

The Display

Huawei has upgraded the screen refresh rate on its new P40 flagship phone. The phone features a bezel-less 6.58-inch OLED 90Hz screen to offer clearer image quality. The display has a resolution of 1200 x 2640 pixels and gets HDR10 support which offers a striking look and pleasant viewing experience.

The Samsung Galaxy S20+ sports a slightly large display. It has a 6.7-inch panel with a 1440 x 3200 pixel resolution. The Galaxy S20+ takes the edge over the Huawei P40 Pro in terms of refresh rate. The phone’s screen has a 120Hz refresh rate, however, you are required to switch the resolution to 2400 x 1800 pixel.

Both Huawei P40 Pro and Samsung Galaxy S20+ embeds an in-display fingerprint sensor. We’re in favour for Huawei’s version as it much quicker and covers a larger area on the screen.

The Camera

Huawei’s P series smartphones are best known for camera innovation. This year is no different, with the Huawei P40 Pro getting Leica branded lenses. The phone features a big 1/1.28-inch 50MP ultra vision RYYB main sensor (meant for better light sensitivity), a 40MP wide-angle sensor, a 12MP telephoto sensor, and a time-of-flight sensor. The big sensor will likely provide a better dynamic range and reduced noise.

Upfront, the Huawei P40 Pro sports a 32MP selfie camera and an infrared sensor for fast facial recognition. The phone supports 4K recording as well both with front and rear cameras. The camera software gets a bunch of AI-photo tricks as well.

Meanwhile, the rear quad-cameras on the Galaxy S20+ boasts a 12Mp sensor with f/1.8 aperture, ultra-wide-angle 12MP camera with f/2.2, an optical telephoto 64MP camera with f/2.0, and a time-of-flight camera for better depth processing. The different camera modes on the phone offer Night Mode, Night Hyperlapse.

The camera is capable of recording 8K video (though it’s barely of any use as only a few TVs support 8K and are quite expensive) and delivering 50x zoom. The phone has a 10MP front-facing camera and a ToF sensor that yields accurate depth-sensing information.

Software

In terms of software, the Huawei P40 Pro runs custom EMUI 10.1 based Android 10. Although the phone runs Android OS, it misses out the major Google apps and Google Play Store (all because of Huawei’s tussle with US regulatory). Instead, you will find Huawei’s own AppGallery store that does offer some popular apps. The software includes custom MeeTime which is basically video/audio call service. This service is yet to roll out in Mzansi.

As for the Samsung Galaxy S20+, it runs in-house OneUI based Android 10. The software includes system-wide dark mode enhancing the night viewing experience. Worth noting that Huawei pioneered night mode a few years ago. There is an ‘Edge panels’ feature that allows quick access to apps, actions, tools and more with a swipe from the side which can be rather frustrating when you’re trying to exit some activity.

All that power

As far as hardware is concerned, the Huawei P40 Pro is powered by the in-house Kirin 990 SoC paired with Mali-G76 MP16 for rendering graphics. The phone is available in 8 GB RAM which is paired with 256 GB onboard storage. The native storage can be further expanded up to 256GB via a microSD card.

Samsung Galaxy S20+ meanwhile is powered by either Exynos 990 chipset which is paired with Mali-G77 MP11 GPU. Compared to the Huawei P40 Pro, you the same RAM/storage option with the Galaxy S20+. The phone comes in 8 GB RAM and 128 GB storage.

As for the battery capacity, the Huawei P40 Pro is backed by a 4200mAh battery and comes with 40W wired charging and wireless charging support.
Samsung Galaxy S20+ gets a mammoth-sized 4500mAh battery with 25W fast charging and reverse wireless charging support, too.

In Conclusion

Similar to its previous models, Huawei has kept its focus intact on the camera. The Huawei P40 Pro’s stellar design, bezel-less display, Leica-branded camera with a bunch of modes and tweaks will no doubt have an edge over the other premium phones. However, with the missing Google apps, some users might be reluctant to switch to a Chinese custom skin-based Android OS. Fear not, for we have found that live without Google is not the worst thing as everyone’s fear proclaim.

Nevertheless, the new Huawei P40 Pro’s impressive camera and high-end specs with a tall screen will turn heads. The Huawei P40 Pro retails for R20 999 in either Black or Silver Frost.

The Huawei P40 Lite includes a set of four cameras on its back: : 48 MP Main Camera with f/1.8 aperture, 8MP ultra wide angle lens with f/2.4 aperture, 2MP bokeh lens with f/2.4 aperture, and 2MP macro lens with f/2.4 aperture. As Huawei revealed today, “with its 4 rear cameras, HUAWEI P40 lite manages to capture wider, sharper and more defined shots than you ever imagined. Make cinematic portraits with bokeh lenses, switch to the macro lens and capture nature in all its splendour.”

Inside the Huawei P40 is a 7nm Kirin 810 processor with 2 x Cortex-A76 2.27 GHz + 6 x Cortex-A55 1.88 GHz. That SoC is one of several features that make this Huawei smartphone exceedingly similar to the Honor 9X Pro, also released – more widely than its initial showing – earlier this year.

Above you’ll see an image of the P40 Lite that shows how fast it’ll charge (HUAWEI SuperCharge (Max 40 W)) – quick! It’ll sport a 4,200 mAh battery too – hefty! The speedy charging stated here comes through with the 40W power adaptor with support for Huawei SuperCharge fast charging function and the corresponding USB/Type-C cable.

This smartphone features HMS, Huawei Mobile Services. This means it features the Huawei AppGallery rather than the GMS-centric Google Play app and media store. This device will not be able to run any Google-made Android apps whatsoever – for now. That includes all sideloading of apps from Google’s collection of services.

Software in this device is Android 10-based EMUI 10.0.1, as Huawei suggests, “This product comes with Android 10 AOSP and HUAWEI Mobile Services (HMS). Google Mobile Services (GMS) is not preinstalled.”

One version of the device was revealed today with 6 GB of RAM + 128 GB of ROM. Potential storage expansion works with a SD NM card slow – up to 256GB. This P40 Lite has a fingerprint scanner for phone unlock – and it has an NFC sensor inside.

The first place you’ll find the Huawei P40 Lite available for sale is Cellucity at the moment. It will be released in Crush Green, Sakura Pink, and Midnight Black. Pricing for the Huawei P40 Lite was rumoured to start at approximately R5999. But thanks to the tweets from fellow journalist Brendon Petersen of reframed, his tweets cleared things up. You can expect to purchase the P40 Lite between R6999 and R7299 when it launches later this month.

According to these product postings on Cellucity and Vodacom4U, the @HuaweiZA P40 Lite will cost anywhere from R5 499.00 to R6 999.00

Update

Earlier today, 20 May 2020, Huawei South Africa confirmed that you can now purchase the HUAWEI P40 lite for  R6,499 from https://huaweistore.co.za/p40-lite.html, Takealot, and all mobile operators. The smartphone is available in the following colours: Sakura Pink, Crush Green and Midnight Black.

Crush Green variant is only available on Takealot and www.huaweistore.co.za

That body requires five days of curing, Huawei says, and is then precision milled for a diamond-like sheen. It’s not the only detailing the company is calling out today: even the camera bulge on the back has been given etched lines, which are designed to catch and reflect light for a more visually-pleasing device.

On top of that, Huawei applies a new refractive matte finish. That helps avoid fingerprints and smudges. There’ll be multiple colours for the P40 and P40 Pro: Ceramic White, Black, Deep Sea Blue, Ice White, Silver Frost, and Blush Gold. As for the P40 Pro+, that will be offered in two finishes: Ceramic Black and Ceramic White. The P40 is IP53 water-resistant, while the P40 Pro and P40 Pro+ are IP68.

All three phones use what Huawei is calling a Quad-Curve Overflow Display. That wraps around all four sides of the phones, as though water overflowing. It doesn’t just look good: it’s also designed so that gesture swipes in Android are more comfortable from all directions. On the P40 it’s a 6.1-inch 60Hz OLED at 2340 x 1080 resolution, while the P40 Pro and P40 Pro+ get a 6.58-inch 90Hz OLED at 2640 x 1200. All three have an in-display fingerprint reader, larger than before, which Huawei says is 30-percent faster than the old version.

The Cameras

As you’d expect, though, it’s the cameras which Huawei is most excited about. Like before, it has collaborated with Leica on its flagships, and the P40 Pro+ has a whopping five sensors on its rear. The P40 has three, while the P40 Pro has four.

Most exciting is the Huawei P40 Pro+. There’s an 40-megapixel Ultra Wide Cine (18mm, f/1.8), a 50-megapixel Ultra Vision Wide with an RYYB sensor (23mm, f/1.9, OIS), an 8-megapixel 3x optical telephoto (80mm, f/2.4, OIS), an 8-megapixel 10x optical periscope telephoto (240mm, f/4.4, OIS), and a Time-of-Flight (ToF) depth sensing camera. Huawei also adds in an 8-channel multi-spectrum colour temperature sensor.

The P40 Pro, meanwhile, has the same 40-megapixel Ultra Wide Cine (18mm, f/1.8) and the 50-megapixel Ultra Vision Wide with an RYYB sensor (23mm, f/1.9, OIS). It adds to that a 5x optical telephoto using the periscope system and a 12-megapixel RYYB sensor (125mm, f/3.4, OIS), plus the ToF and color temperature sensors.

Finally, the P40 has an 8-megapixel 3x optical telephoto camera (80mm, f/2.4, OIS), a 50-megapixel RYYB Ultra Vision Wide camera (23mm, f/1.9), and a 16-megapixel Ultra Wide (17mm, f/2.2). It also gets the new color temperature sensor.

Huawei has paired its new sensors and zooms with a new Octa PD AutoFocus system. That promises faster AF lock, particularly in low-light situations. The P40 Pro and P40 Pro+ support 10x continuous shot, too.

It’s not the only software enhancement. As before, Huawei is using AI to automatically recognise scenes and adjust the camera settings proactively, but the P40 series introduces Golden Snap. That combines burst photos with AI, doing analysis on over 90 facial features and over 30 different postures to select the best image out of the burst.

It doesn’t stop there, though. Golden Snap also promises to remove passers-by in the image, and can even remove reflections from glass and other reflective surfaces.

On the front, there’s a cut-out in the OLED display with three different sensors. A 32-megapixel camera (f/2.2) is joined by an IR depth/gesture camera, and an ambient/proximity sensor. The P40 Pro and P40 Pro+ get autofocus, too.

The result is both better bokeh, Huawei says, as well as faster face-unlock, including in low-light conditions. The phones will also record 4K selfie video. An attention-aware screen will track when you’re watching the P40 and stop it from locking, even if you’re not touching the display. Huawei is using its gesture sensor for hands-free scrolling and screenshots too.

For video, the P40 Pro and P40 Pro+ get 4K HDR+ capture at 60 fps. There’s dual OIS and AIS stabilisation, directional audio zoom using three microphones, 7680 fps ultra-slow-motion support, and real-time bokeh. Huawei says low-light performance is particularly improved.

P40 hardware and software

Inside there’s the Kirin 990 5G processor that Huawei has used in the Mate 30. The P40 has a 3,800 mAh battery and will fast-charge at 22.5W with a USB-C power supply. The P40 Pro and P40 Pro+ get larger, 4,200 mAh batteries, and up to 40W charging both wired and wireless.

There’s a Dual SIM slot and eSIM. You can use a Nano SIM and an eSIM, or slot in one of Huawei’s NM memory cards. WiFi 6 is supported, too.

What you don’t get, of course, is Google apps or services. While it runs Android, Huawei’s P40 series uses the company’s own AppGallery store rather than the Google Play store. It’s working with TomTom on a Google Maps replacement, and has its own voice assistant called Celia, which will stand in for the Google Assistant.

Whether that will be enough to convince potential buyers remains to be seen. Few would deny that Huawei’s P-Series phones have serious photography talents, but the continued absence of Google apps and services leaves them at a significant disadvantage compared to Samsung and others. While side-loading apps is possible, it’s tough to recommend any Huawei phone right now to a mainstream audience outside of China.

Huawei says the P40 and P40 Pro will go on sale from mid May. The P40 will have 8GB of memory and 128GB of storage, and be R15 260, while the P40 Pro will have 8GB of memory and 256GB of storage, and be R19 080. The Huawei P40 Pro+ will follow on in June 2020, with 8GB of memory and 512GB of storage; set at R26 719.

You’ll be able to watch the event via the YouTube livestream embedded below. The event will kick off at 15h00 CAT, but as always, we expect the livestream to start up a little before the show begins.

Unfortunately for those who like to be surprised, the main topic of the day – the P40 series – has already leaked all over the place. Assuming those leaks are accurate, we probably already know about most of what the P40 range will have to offer, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that there won’t be some surprises about the capabilities of these phones.

Essentially, we’re expecting to see the Huawei P40 and P40 Pro, and perhaps even a top-end phone that’s rumoured to be called the P40 Pro Premium Edition. Huawei has also confirmed a new smartwatch called the Huawei Watch GT 2e will be coming, and there could even more to learn.

Regardless of all the leaks, Huawei’s event will be one worth watching. We’ll be covering all of the big announcements here at TWFLD and on our social media channels so be sure to check back here when the show is over for all you need to know about Huawei’s 2020 lineup.

At Huawei’s MWC live stream, Yu confirmed that the Huawei P40 will launch by the end of March 2020. It has in recent years held its own event away from the flood of news at MWC in February and IFA in September. Furthermore, he also reassured that the phone will be available through regular retail and carrier channels.

It’s probably no secret that it won’t come with Google Play Store but Yu revealed that the company’s Huawei Mobile Services would be ready by then, as we’ve seen on the Y7p device introduced earlier this month. This is Huawei’s stand-in replacement for the apps and services that Google offers on certified Android devices. It remains to be seen if Android app developers need to do extra work to support Huawei’s counterpart and if they’re willing to do the work given Huawei’s precarious situation.

The Huawei exec boasts that the phone will have a never before seen design but the most recent leaks seems to contradict that claim.

The Huawei P40 and P40 are expected to carry the company’s latest Kirin 990 processor and have four and five cameras, respectively. Those cameras will most likely carry the brand to the top of photography reviews yet again but those might do little to improve the phones’ chances in the market outside of China. We’re excited again.
