Back in February this year, Huawei sub-brand Honor launched the Honor V9 which was known as Honor 8 Pro outside the Chinese market. Now today, an event in China, the company has announced the Honor V10 which is successor to the V9.
The Honor V10 boasts a uni-body metal construction along with chamfered edges, and, following the current trend, the it flaunts a bezel-less design with a 5.99-inch FullView display that has an aspect ratio of 18:9 and a resolution of 2160 x 1080 pixels.
Almost all the phones that come with smaller bezels have done away with capacitive navigation keys, home buttons and fingerprint scanners on the front, however, the Honor V10 does retain the fingerprint scanner which is housed on the home button.
Above the display, you have the usual earpiece, ambient sensor, proximity sensor, and of course, the secondary camera. The Honor V10 comes with a 13 MP camera on the front for selfies and video calls, and, at the back, you get a dual camera setup. This dual camera setup is a combination of one 16 MP RBG and one 20 MP Monochrome camera.
Under the hood, the Honor V10 comes with AI-backed Kirin 970 SoC (having dedicated neural NPU) that’s paired with 4 or 6 GB RAM. The 4 GB RAM variant comes with 64 GB of internal storage whereas the 6 GB RAM variant is available in 64 GB and 128 GB storage options.
