Meet the Huawei mate 10 and mate 10 pro

This year has proven to be a great year for flagship smartphones but we were still missing the update of one of our most admired players of last year. Meet the huawei mate 10 and mate 10 pro.

Last year's huawei mate 9 was the near perfect example of how a smartphone camera should be done. Battery life should perform and software should be improved. For starters the design is completely new gan is the aluminum of old in favour of a more refined glass finish while weighs dubbing this it's multi axis curved design and off the bat, there are no sharp corners to be found.


Both variants feel like rounded pebbles in the hand with a glass providing an additional grip. Both devices sported interesting accent around the cameras but according to the company these are merely aesthetic.

 The differences between each device are quite the paradox, though side-by-side it's hard to notice things until you start digging into specifications.

The regular mate 10 is a 5.9 inch LCD at quad HD resolution and a standard 16:9 aspect ratio. The Mate 10 pro has less resolution at 2160×1080, but this is now a 6 inch OLED display at 18:9 aspect ratio the.

Mate 10 adopts a front fingerprint scanner while the May 10 pro has it at the back and the May 10 include a headphone jack which is awesome but then the May 10 Pro doesn't.

 The regular made 10 also includes dual SIM support with the option for placing one from microSD expansion. The mate 10 pro is oddly only dual SIM with no extra storage options but it does come with 6 GB of RAM and 128 gigs of storage versus 4 + 64 gigs of the mate 10. Also there is LTE on both SIM slots with the Mate 10 pro now supporting LTE cat 18 versus cats 16 on the regular Mate 10.

Last but not least the Mate 10 is not water resistant while the Mate 10 Pro is IP67.

The similarities of both devices include an insane 4,000 milliamp power battery supporting huawei supercharged technology. Huawei claims that the battery footprint is so large that the coil just didn't fit powering

 The show is Huawei's new Karen 970 processor that we saw at Eva 2017. It's Huawei's entry into the ten nanometer process so remember that whole Samsung dec system where you need an expensive doc in order to use your phone as a computer, well you can use the huawei mate 10 and Mate 10 pro in the same way but just with a wire, no dock necessary and might even be included in the box and the UI is enhanced for private smartphone communication to not be shared with a computer screen.

This new neural network processing unit or NPU for short bringing some cool AI to the mix for example the phone is smart enough to know when you're taking a photo of a flower, a plant, food, a person and much more. So the Mate 10 will automatically show you that a detective the subject and adjust the camera mode accordingly instead of having you fumble with it manually.

The new mates will bring Android Oreo out of the box. Each camera lens is now FF 1.6 aperture yes even the secondary one and has 12MP RGB and 20MP  in monochrome with an 8MP selfie shooter at f/2 aperture.


Is this the future?
