Can only get this phone if you don mind all the shortcoming without GMS.

Using the P40Pro for about 3 weeks already.
For me I can still live with it.
Just that when using Grab app, you wont be able to see the map.
Singpass app is not available for use as of current.
When accessing games/apps, will always prompt google service is not available. But still can use the app after cancelling that notification.

singpass use browser loh

grab no map ok lah

of cos phv driver cannot buy this phone YET

If anyone said, google services has spyware, to be fair huawei or xiaomi also have.

But still, gotta admit that huawei has better specs for hardware than samsung.

commoners do not afraid of spyware imo

Boycott Grab. Use Comfort, Ryde and Tada?

Actually any phone you use and once you start installing apps, both the phone and some apps might store some of your personal data on their servers. Any brand, any os is bound to have such things.

We are not celebrity or government personnel or doing top secret projects where we are worried about people gathering our data. P40 Pro is a very good phone with a good camera. When I had the P40 Pro it is a good phone.

If the apps you require can be downloaded from HMS then no need to sideload GMS. As for whether it is safe anot, nobody can give you a definite answer.

After struggling for 4 hours straight. Finally installed gms and play store. Trust me it is not easy at all. Most of the time it is really trial and error. I was lucky. Apparently I found out that Google is consistently plugging the gaps. Most of the methods do not work now.

You gotta mix and match different methods of sideloading gms.
