5 reasons why the Huawei Mate 10 and Mate 10 Pro stand out
The Mate 10 and Mate 10 Pro are the latest flagship smartphones from Huawei, and both of them are outstanding powerhouses. Here are five reasons why these two smartphones stand out from the crowd.
1. AI makes everything better
The Mate 10 and Mate 10 Pro ship with Huawei’s 10nm HiSilicon Kirin 970 chipset with a dedicated Neural Processing Unit for rapid AI (artificial intelligence) processing.
The onboard AI cleverly makes everything better; it manages power so the phones stay powered up for longer, it can recognize scenes and optimize settings in the Camera app, and it can suggest smart tips based on how you’re using the phones. Here's a video comparison of image recognition prowess of the Mate 10 series over a competitor phone:-
2. Cameras co-engineered with the legendary Leica
The Mate 10 and Mate 10 Pro each come with dual-camera systems that have been co-engineered with Leica, the legendary camera, and lens company. Each phone features two Summilux-H lenses with a fast f/1.6 aperture, one 12MP RGB sensor (with OIS), and one 20MP monochrome sensor.
The Mate 10 and Mate 10 Pro use images taken with both cameras and combine them into a single, richly detailed photo. This works because a monochrome digital sensor can capture more fine detail than an RGB sensor, due to the lack of an RGB filter. You can even capture 20MP high-resolution black and white images with the monochrome sensor for extraordinary photographs.
Thanks to the dedicated Neural Processing Unit (NPU), the Mate 10 and Mate 10 Pro cameras also feature:-
- Scene recognition
- AI-powered background blur
- AI motion detection for reduced motion blur
Instead of just a single ISP (image signal processor), the cameras feature dual ISPs for noise reduction and better low-light performance. A 4-in-1 hybrid autofocus system ensures you get the right subject sharply in focus.
3. Massive battery life with quick charging
We could all do with more battery life on our smartphones. The Mate 10 and Mate 10 Pro come with a massive 4,000 mAh battery, and both phones support Huawei Supercharge technology. The phones can get up to 30-35 percent charge in 15 minutes, 55-60 percent in 30 minutes, and 85-90 percent in about an hour. Now that's super fast.
4. Gorgeous OLED display with HDR technology
The Mate 10 Pro has a beautiful 6-inch Full HD+ OLED display with vibrant colors and deep contrasts. The display is HDR10 certified, so you can enjoy videos that look stunningly true to life.
5. Modern design with the latest in Android
The Mate 10 and Mate 10 Pro feature modern designs, both in and out. The chassis is now elegant glass with an aluminum frame, and the phones come with Android 8.0 Oreo installed - the first for a non-Google branded device. An all-new EMUI 8.0 makes the Mate 10 and Mate 10 Pro more delightful and intuitive to use than ever before.
Bonus: Work and play on the big screen
If you’ve ever wished you could make your smartphone screen bigger, well, now you can. The Mate 10 and Mate 10 Pro processors are so powerful that you can connect either with a single cable to a larger screen, which lets you mirror or extend the display.
Now you can work on your smartphone just like you would with a PC, with a wireless mouse and keyboard. Even without peripherals, you can use the smartphone as a mobile touchpad to get things done. If you’re working with others, the Mate 10 and Mate 10 Pro can clever enough to keep your personal notifications, like calls and messages, private and only on your phone.
And it’s not just for work, you can connect the Mate 10 and Mate 10 Pro to a larger screen for big screen gaming as well!
Porsche Design Edition
That's not all. If you're looking for a touch of class and exclusivity, Huawei also has a limited edition Mate 10 Porsche Design edition for your consideration. Comes with double the internal storage (256GB) and a ceramic finish in a deep black color. HardwareZone managed to unbox one:-
