Huawei Mate 10 Pro review

03 November 2017
Instead of marching in lockstep, the Huawei Mate 10 series will be chasing each other from one place to the next, quite unlikely to catch up except in a select few regions - if any at all. 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.

    guys, i have 2 things;

    1) kindly post your Screen On Time whenever you get your hands on this beast.

    2) aside from fingerprint, how do you unlock your phone? is it still by power button only?


    thanks

      Mate 10 pro is better overall device than the Note 8:

      - Mate 10 pro looks better and feels more compact in hand and lighter.
      - Mate 10 pro has better display size. The extra inches on Note 8 display goes into making the phone only more longer, and in practice more bigger black screen on top and bottom, it does not make any of the content on Note 8 bigger compared to Mate 10 pro.
      - Mate 10 pro has better fingerprint placement.
      - Mate 10 pro has better battery life than Note 8. Note 8 SD835 model performs even worse than the Exynos model.
      - Mate 10 pro charges the battery faster despite bigger battery.
      - For cameras both are equal. Note 8 might excel in some arenas while Mate 10 pro excel in other arenas. Subjective preferences as well but in general both are great cameras giving great results.
      - Both chipset are equally powerful but mate 10 pro is future proof with AI and has more efficient G72 GPU.
      - Note 8 might have QHD screen but you need magnifying glass to notice difference to the FHD+ on Mate 10 pro. However Note 8 might have brighter screen being the best of Amoled, however such max brightness will not be used in real life. So in real life scenarios, the Mate 10 pro wins because of having a great screen + battery life combination.
      - Mate 10 pro is dual active 4G.
      - Mate 10 pro has stereo speaker while Note 8 is only has bottom firing speaker.
      - Mate 10 pro cost 800 Euro for 6gb/126gb mode while Note 8 cost 1000 Euro for 6gb/64gb model.

      Note 8 advantages:
      - external memory slot (but Mate 10 pro base model has 128gb internal memory).
      - 3.5mm headphone jack (but Mate 10 pro comes with usb-c earphones inside the box)
      - Wireless charging
      - Iris scanner

          This is it, Samsung makes the best flagship phones, Huawei makes the best mid-range phones and Xiaomi makes the best butget phones(value for money) phones. Best fingerprint goes to Huawei again and best performing phones too. Best features goes to Samsung and iPhone, they share the glory. Best phone cameras will be splited among 5, Huawei, iPhone, Samsung, LG and Google. Strongest body builled goes to Nokia. Most beautiful builled designs go To Huawei/honor, Samsung and iPhone.

            Vegetaholic, 08 Nov 2017Mate are you blind? Reviews in front of you, numbers don't ... moreSo you own a mate 10/10pro?? because you seem to know much about them. At east for me I have relied on YouTube reviews who have actually used the device for something and have given us their feedback, and from many youtubers the mate 10 Series is an excellent smartphone. A flagship with best performance, best battery life and a lovely camera!! My friend I don't argue with people who are on denial and don't argue with facts at hand, with just the way you yap! I can judge you don't understand any tech!! Can't wait to get this beast in my hands!!!

                          Great review

                            ivan, 04 Nov 2017Simply, Mate 10 Pro is the best phone on the market. Fact... moreYour opinion does not count as whole, Mate 10 pro does not have even a single chance against Note 8 or S8 duo or V30. They have better screen, chipsets 3.5mm jacks and better software and audio capabilities(v30). Plus Note 8 destroys Mate 10 pro camera in peaces, good luck dreaming :)

                              Well I want to see those people who was crying that g71mp12 it's faster than g71mp20 and adreno 540. NOT! as usual Kirin is nothing more just sidekick to exynos and Snapdragon, in few months it will be demolished by new gen exynos and Snapdragon and you can keep crying until next November, when 980 will almost match top chipsets :)

                                Increase speed is easier than keep it running cool and stable, and at the the of the day the oldest manufacture create better, while new comers just make cheap substitute

                                    UltimateZeroSeconds, 05 Nov 2017I know you can satisfy with IP67, but when it come to IP68 ... moreDude the IP67 vs IP68 is only a difference of 0.5m extra depth of water. Samsung and all the other IP68 phones only have 1.5m depth of water protection, while the Ip67 is at 1m depth protection. 0.5m extra depth makes no difference in real life scenarios.

                                      Anonymous, 05 Nov 2017You can't rate the same phone both ip58 and ip68, it has to... moreI know you can satisfy with IP67, but when it come to IP68 you definitely will praise it improves alot.

                                      I wash my IP68 smartphone one week 4 times after 3 years later right now still no problem and use it typing to reply you right now, let's us see IP67 can stand for how many years.
