Huawei P40 - user opinions and reviews

After selling my Mate 50 Pro, I'm back to my beloved backup P40. Almost five years after buying it, it still works perfectly fine. Everything is a bit slower than it used to be (or maybe it is due to being used to 120Hz), but there is no lagging or slowdown. This is what I love about P40 series, they keep working just fine, my mom has P40 lite and it still works fine, although a bit slower than it used to, it never lags and becomes unresponsive like other ANdroid phones.
The camera is still relevant on P40, with natural colors, and good lowlight performance and I again enjoy the small form factor. I haven't decided yet on the new phone, but may keep using this one for some time. I also converted it to Harmony OS, which brought a new life to it, with some new features and smoothness, together with better working google services.

Anyone knows if charging is really 22.5W? I lost the original charger (I still have the USB c ) and I have another Huawei charger to temporarily replace it while I get another one, this one also has super charging and is 22.5w maximum. By the way, if somebody know the model of the charger I would be grateful.

Any current user here? What's your experience on newer version of harmonyos? I was thinking of buying this phone in the used market just to have a different experience, it's dirt cheap and I also like the simple design and small form factor since I always bring 2 phones. Btw I consider myself a advance user so don't comment something like (the lack of apps in app gallery or no google apps F! google actually, time to stay away from that monopoly) anyways share your thoughts.
