Hi-Tech Review

Introduction: Instead of marching in lockstep, the Huawei Mate 10 and Mate 10 Pro will be chasing each other from one place to the next, quite unlikely to catch up except in a select few regions. It's not a parade then, it's a pursuit and therefore more exciting. So, which one would you pick? The super-sharp Mate 10 or the have-it-all-but-not-quite Mate 10 Pro? The former had its primetime slot already, it's now the Pro's turn to take the spotlight. The Mate 10 Pro is quite different from the regular model, coming with a 6" 18:9 AMOLED screen with even slimmer bezels, a water-tight body, faster LTE, more RAM and storage and a rear-mounted fingerprint scanner. The upgrades come at a bitter price though, costing the Mate 10 Pro the QuadHD screen resolution, the audio jack and the memory card slot. The new Kirin 970 with the hyped Neural-Network Processing Unit (NPU) is shared among the two to hopefully set the standard in machine-learning-driven hardware accelera...

The newly announced Huawei P10 starts from where the P9 left off last year and improves it in pretty much every aspect. The design is even more striking, the already top-notch screen is even better, what used be a balanced performance is now flagship grade, and finally, the Dual Camera system, produced in collaboration with Leica, is now seriously better and allows for lossless zoom just like on the Mate9. If you are coming from the Mate series, the P10 is probably not quite the breakthrough we described, but there are a few improvements even compared to the Mate 9. The P10 has an upgraded selfie camera with a new smart mode and Leica effects, including a Portrait mode with simulated bokeh. There is also the new front-mounted fingerprint sensor, which is now part of the multi-functional Home key. Add to that the new design and the variety of paint jobs and finishes, and you get a device that is surely worth checking out. Huawei may have dropped the Ascend moniker for its P...
