After unveiling the Mate 9 in November last year, Chinese manufacturer Huawei, as expected, has launched the Huawei Mate 10 at an event held in Munich, Germany. The Huawei Mate 10 is successor to last year’s Mate 9, and needless to say, packs flagship specifications.
The Huawei Mate 10 has minimal bezels at the top and bottom while having very slim bezels at the left and right. It has a 5.9-inch FullView display that has the tradition 16:9 aspect ratio with a resolution of 2560 x 1440 pixels.
Above the display is an 8 MP selfie camera that has an aperture of f/2.0 aperture, and, below it is the physical home button that houses the fingerprint scanner. Moving on to the back, there’s a Leica dual camera setup which consists of a combination of 20 MP monochrome sensor and 12 MP RGB sensor. It comes with Optical Image Stabilization and has support for 2x Hybrid Zoom.
Underneath the Huawei Mate 10 is the Kirin 970 SoC that’s paired with 4 GB RAM and backed by Mali-G72 MP12 GPU. The Kirin 970 has AI on-board and also has Neural Network Processing Unit (NPU). The Mate 10 boots up to EMUI 8.0 based on Android 8.0 Oreo and has 64 GB on internal storage with the option to expand the storage up to 256 GB via microSD card.
The Huawei Mate 10 ships with a 4000 mAh battery which is charged through a USB Type-C port. The battery management on the Mate 10 is also done using AI.
