Huawei Mate 10 Pro

Have to agree with the previous positive posts....the Mate 10 Pro is an incredible device. Was a little hesitant to pull the trigger initially due to youtube tech reviewers all complaining about the downfalls of EMUI. Now, I have experienced stock android in the past with a more basic user interface and it is clean but it left me longing for more standard (and useful) features. So it was time for a change, and although I was prepared(I think) to deal with a notch due to the overwhelming number of manufacturers releasing devices with the notch, although I really did not want to take the plunge(sound familiar?). Needless to say, I took the gamble on the Huawei and boy am I glad that I did. The Mate 10 Pro is fast, packed full of useful features/settings, has a damn impressive camera, excellent/fast fingerprint scanner, stunning display and a beautiful body. This thing makes heads turn and rightfully so, I don't believe another smartphone in today's market can compare to the look of the Mate 10 Pro. Perhaps the most impressive thing about this phone is the battery life. Granted, I am not a power user and probably don't exceed more than 2 hrs of screen on time per day but I have never owned a device that I considered to have great battery life. Trying to get through a day on a full charge with other flagship devices was to say the least, challenging...on rare occasions with one previous device, I may have made it until noon the following day. Simply to put this into perspective....as I type this review, it is around 8:30pm on a Thursday night and I have about 35% battery left. My last charge was Tuesday at around 4pm and the battery was on 93% when I pulled the plug. I won't even have to consider putting the phone back on the charger until tomorrow afternoon. 3 FULL DAYS PEOPLE! I realize this is not typical for most people but I have been extremely impressed with the battery life.
A few thoughts about the camera. I have friends/co-workers with the latest devices from Samsung, Apple, LG, Sony...etc. Compared side by side to these other devices for standard pick up and shoot without playing with camera settings for 10 minutes or making adjustments in pro mode, the Mate 10 Pro shines. I would have been hard pressed to choose a "better" photo from one of these other devices in identical settings. Colors are natural and images are crisp with superb detail. Not enough character space to discuss how fantastic the monochrome feature is...you get the point.
Everything about the Mate 10 Pro makes sense and comes together to create an excellent user experience. If you follow reviews like I do, you will certainly encounter similar negative opinions, but quite frankly, the none of the perceived negatives about the Mate 10 Pro bother me. For example as this is a popular one: Glass back with no wireless charging - why? Why would any manufacturer do that? Why you ask? So the phone looks fricken amazing, that's why. Until wireless charging evolves into wireless quick charging with charging bases being free with purchase of the phone as a standard practice, I will gladly take fast charging with a cable any day of the week.
In summary, this is a high end device loaded with great features and very few flaws if any. I would not hesitate to recommend this phone to anyone.

Bought this phone last week and I am absolutely fascinated with it... Battery life is ridiculously long, it's incredibly fast, the manual modes for the camera is a big yes for me as I am a photography enthusiast and the phone in general is very pleasurable to use... Coming from a S6 this is an amazing machine... As I'm writing the battery is at 100% and Ben listening to Spotify via Bluetooth for the last 25 minutes...

Hi guys,
I have been doing my research about mate 10 pro since last week or so. I am currently using a Moto G4 plus phone which you all know was an entry level phone. Honestly speaking, it was a very good experience and there is no need to change the phone other than it has only got 16 GB internal memory. I was almost sold on mate 10 pro and was going to order it online but someone on gsmarena advised to go and physically see the phone.
Anyway today I managed to see the mate 10 pro in reality at a phone shop. My apologies to all the mate 10 pro fans in advance. The screen and overall brightness was awful. I put the brightness to full but it was still not as bright as I would like it to be. I was only comparing it with my moto G4 plus. It was very fast and camera quality was very sharp but the screen and display was dull. I am shocked. I was looking forward to have mate 10 pro.
This is my personal experience and I would like to mention that I am sad not to like this phone cos I was soooo much looking forward to buy it. Now I am back to square one. My next option will be lg v30. Please recommend any other phone if you know which is in the same league as mate 10 pro. Thanks

Great looking phone, good speeds on all aspects, internet, bluetooth etc etc. Loving the longer lasting battery.
But other parts of this phone are bad, i.e power button very sensitive and too close to volume buttons. No radio or jack. AI system can get annoying esp when texting, where I text in slang the phone will not recognise this and puts in words it thinks should go there, they don't. Watching films using video player, after 10 mins it asks me if I want to use same video player or photos, very very annoying esp as film starts again.

3rd week with this beast. In the start phone was laggy and had log of stutters. Some said the AI needs time to adjust things and it did. Phone is smooth and fast now as any. Great screen and amazing battery. 9h of SOT on average with games and work,3 emails sync,Twitter, FB. Sound is average tho and this is my only con of this, otherwise great phone. But u can't have all for 500€.

Great phone but Huawei are still lacking updates for this phone. Even though they promised faster updates.
Still on January security patch. Updates are like a lottery with some people receiving(March Update) and others not. Support are not helpful, basically saying for update and dont update manually or you void your warranty.
Android 8.1 nowhere to be seen.
