At Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2017 in Barcelona, Huawei has launched its new flagships- Huawei P10 and P10 Plus smartphones. Similar to last year’s Huawei P9, the Huawei P10 packs a 5.1-inch 1080p display, while the bigger P10 Plus takes on the iPhone 7 Plus with its 5.5-inch Quad HD display. Both the smartphones are powered by Octa-Core Huawei Kirin 960 processor and run Android 7.0 (Nougat) with EMUI 5.1. The Huawei P10 comes with 4GB of RAM, 64GB of internal storage, microSD support, and a large 3,200mAh battery with fast charging while The Huawei P10 Plus comes in two variants – 4GB RAM with 64GB storage & 6GB RAM with 128GB storage Both variants has microSD support and a 3,750mAh battery with fast charging.
Taking inspiration from Apple, Huawei has added the Portrait Model feature to create a bokeh effect that’s similar to what you would get from a professional DSLR. The Huawei P10 and P10 Plus retains the Leica camera tech seen on the P9 before it, with both models sporting dual 12MP RGB and 20MP monochrome lenses what work together to offer better image quality and depth perception than rival devices. An 8MP camera sits on the front of the both devices and comes equipped with a new Portrait mode that is able to track different points of a face to ensure better low-light shots.
Android 7.0 Nougat operating system will run on both the P10 and P10 Plus, with Huawei’s usual EMUI software thrown in on top. In both devices, Huawei has shifted the fingerprint sensor from the rear to the front of the device, underneath which you’ll find a USB-C port and 3.5mm headphone jack.
