We were at the world presentation of the Chinese giant Huawei, where they presented two smartphones, Mate 10 and Mate 10 Pro. The two devices represent the very top of this brand's offer and definitely follow the design trends of large borderless screens, adding to this the processor technology developed in-house, which promises an improved artificial intelligence experience.
Huawei Mate 10 and Mate 10 Pro you they differ in form and they are not identical twins. Thus, they differ in external dimensions, screen size, as well as in the materials and technologies used. Mate 10 has 5.9-inch 2560 × 1440 LCD screen, while the Mate 10 Pro's screen 6-inch 2160×1080 OLED; both still have thin bezels at both the top and bottom of the screen. Mate 10 Pro despite the larger screen, it feels much smaller in the hand. Because 18:9 screen ratio it shares this trend with many other devices this year. On the other hand, the 'standard' Mate 10 bets on the screen in a ratio of 16:9.
They will be jumping to please different competitors. Both Samsung S8 and LG V30 and all other 'big' phones. Also because they are so similar, but at the same time completely different.
Phone design Mate 10 and Mate 10 Pro follows most modern approaches and bets on glass construction, which enables interesting design excesses with color gradients, and the use of an interesting palette of colors, among which stands out Brown mocha. Of course, you can't do without rose gold, blue and gray colors. In this way, you will immediately distinguish the phone by color, as each one has its own palette. The special edition stands out from all of them Porsche Design Mate 10 Pro with a 'diamond' black color and a different 'finish' of the phone. Both phones have a design extremely well made and in the hand they feel like high quality devices. Huawei's design is clearly increasingly looking for its own direction, which can be described as more than excellent. While in the past he liked to look over the boards and draw inspiration from the brand with the bitten apple, he finally broke this bad habit and took a step towards his own style. And we like this one. In terms of design, we could also highlight the fact that they are phones extremely thin considering all that is hidden in them. That's right Mate 10 only 8.2 mm wide, while it is Mate 10 Pro only 7.9 mm wide. Compared to the direct competition, this figure is truly impressive.
They have phones fingerprint reader, which is excellent by default at Huawei. While he has it Mate 10 on the front, the Pro version has it on the back side. The two phones also differ in one of the more desirable features at the moment – resistance to dust and water – in the IP67 standard and the fact that it is only available in the Pro version. With the Mate 10 Pro, you will get more IR sensor, but on the other hand lost the classic phone jack – the headphone jack, which remains on the standard version of the Mate 10. The latter can also boast of additional SD card slot and additional camera for selfies on the front of the phone. From what is written, it is immediately clear that Huawei intended these two phones for two different target groups. The Mate 10 is thus intended for the younger generation, who cares about selfies and a plug for classic headphones. Mate 10 Pro however, it interferes with the segment where they have an advantage business phone features.
Inside, the two phones are very similar, but at the same time different. They share a processor artificial intelligence marked Kirin 970. While the Mate 10 takes a break 4 GB of RAM, the Pro version brings 6 GB of RAM. Also, the regular Mate 10 takes a break 64 GB of storage space, while the Pro version serves up s 128 GB. Both have a large capacity battery in common 4000 mAh, which enables extremely fast charging with 5 amps, which has been 'stamped' as safe by the German consumer protection organization TÜV. It is charged via a classic cable USB-C. Of course, there is still an outstanding cooperation with the company Leica in the field of photography. This time he delivers the new Leica dual camera with SUMMILUX-H lenses, which boast of f/1.6 aperture and the perception of the scene and the subject in real time and creating in technology bokeh – blurred background with the help of artificial intelligence. It is still two monochrome sensors with 20 MP Monochrome and 12 MP RGB, who can double hybrid zoom and also capture video in resolution 4K. On the front part, however, there is a flourish 8 MP selfie camera and F/2.0 aperture.
Huawei is with the phone Mate 10 Pro also offered users the option using the phone as a normal desktop computer, which is similar to Samsung's DeX extension, but does not require a special docking station to operate. It is a concept that both Microsoft with Windows Continuum and Motorola with Atrix tried to introduce some time ago. Concepts that never really came to life, today, with the capabilities of new phones, they seem a serious future. Connect your new phone directly to the screen with a cable and you will have a real classic computer desktop. The phone will power your entire screen. Extremely convenient!
According to the Huawei developers, the biggest advantage is the processors developed in-house, which are an excellent basis for exploiting the capabilities artificial intelligence. That's right Kirin 970 processor the one that enables neural data processing with the help of the included NPU unit. The unit is designed to enable the operation of artificial intelligence. This should allow the phone to be called deep learning, which will affect many segments of the phone's operation. In this way, the phone should adapt to the user's needs and take care of himself fast operation during the entire period of use of the phone. It is here that Huawei predicts that the Mate 10 will not become sluggish over time like many Androids. But only time will tell.
The Huawei Mate 10 and Mate 10 Pro are honors student. First impressions are great! Also and mainly because of the interesting pricing strategy. You will be able to buy the standard Mate 10 for 699 euros. You will have to pay for the Mate 10 Pro (128GB+6GB). 799 euros. The phones will be available from operators in in November.
