Huawei Mate 10 Pro review: Flashy and powerful

2017-11-13
the first thing you're gonna want to know is that the huawei mate 10 Pro is a big beautiful device whose camera quality and zippy speed definitely stand up to other high-end devices like the note 8 the LGB 30 and Apple's newest iPhone the second thing you're gonna want to know is that the price is right up there - this isn't the phone that you buy if you're trying to save some cash it's the phone you buy because you want a smooth reading experience in a flashy package you definitely get some slick hardware here like that six inch screen it's got a really high resolution there's also a sleek build there's large battery in here and six gigabytes of RAM which is always welcome the phone is waterproof - it's got those slim bezels that are on trend right now and a fast accurate fingerprint reader on the back Huawei is definitely known for those and of course it runs with Android 8.0 Oreo what you don't get compared to those other phones is the note eight stylus the LGV 30s extra video software and the iPhone tens fancy face unlocking but Huawei wants to make its own mark with its dual camera and that is Co engineered with a respected camera brand like a-- like a bunch of the huawei phones before so we know that we're getting some consistency here there's a 12 megapixel lens and a 20 megapixel lens that only shoots in black-and-white the camera has a dedicated monochrome mode that takes striking shots all in its own but this second lens also adds layers of detail to your regular color photos you're gonna find a portrait mode on here and in fact you can even take selfie portraits that's something a lot of phones don't do you can take photos also with just that wide-angle camera and you can dive into Pro Tools so you can fine-tune your shots one interesting addition for the camera is what Huawei calls its AI processor and that automatically recognizes your scene and adjusts the settings so you point the lens at food and bam you're on food mode same with taking shots of landscape or of text like the back of my business card the idea is that you'll save time setting up an editing shot there are other two things I kind of like from the lock screen you can double press the volume button to launch the camera and double press again to take a quick pic you can also get rid of those three typical Android navigation buttons and replace them with one on-screen button that you can drag around and use for everything so it can save space if you want to use more of the screen the 10 mate Pro comes in two colors a titanium ish black grey shade and a shiny brown color that is actually really nice even though it sounds kind of boring it's not the phone isn't available everywhere in the world like in the US so you will need to check Huawei's website or your local retailer for availability
