hey it's James with the verge and I'm here looking at the latest flagship smartphone from Huawei the p10 now the p10 comes in two sizes this one I've got in my hand is a 5.1 inch 1080p display but there's also a larger model the p10 plus which has a 5.5 inch screen so you've got a volume rocker and unlock button on the side is a type-c USB port on the bottom and here we've got a home button which also has a fingerprint scanner built into it both the p10 and the p10 plus empowered by Huawei's own octa-core Kirin 960 processor which as we've seen before in other Huawei devices is about as fast as they come the smaller p10 has four gigabytes of RAM with a 64 gigabyte storage while the larger p10 bumps that up to six go by of RAM and 128 gigabytes of storage on the back of the phone you've got far ways like a branded dual camera system which again we've seen on previous Huawei devices it's got a number of cool tricks including a portrait mode that keeps the foreground in focus while blowing out the background there's also an improved front-facing camera which Huawei says is optimized for selfies in terms of design it's hard not to look at the v10 and be reminded of the iPhone and that's not a criticism it's got these discreet antenna lines at the bottom smooth rounded edges that feel great in hand and unlike the iPhone it's available in a number of new colors including blue and green pretty unusual for a smartphone with the p10 and the p10 plus Huawei is also introducing a new finish on the back that it calls hyper diamond-cut now it's a bit of an exotic name but the effect is basically giving the back metal a bit of texture while I says it's more resistant to scratches and it's less slippery in the hand however whether you like how it feels or not will be up to you the phone itself is running Huawei's own Android skin and comes with a number of neat software features the most interesting of these is probably who always machine learning algorithms which analyse how you use the phone over time and prioritized apps you access most in order to keep performances nice and sharp I have to say that although the p10 looks beautiful and feels solid it's just not that exciting why why hasn't delivered any wild new design choices here and overall the p10 feels very similar to previous devices we've seen from the company what we've got is brilliant but it's not revolutionary the p10 and the p10 plus will be going on sale in Europe and other markets in March but we have no word yet on us availability the p10 will cost 649 euros or around 685 dollars while the p10 plus we'll go for 699 euros or around seven hundred forty dollars that's all for the moment but stay tuned to the verge for more of the latest news from MWC
