Huawei Honor 10 hands-on review

15 May 2018
Announced a few weeks ago in its homeland, Huawei's Honor 10 has now made the trip to Europe. We were there for the launch party in the UK, and we got to spend some time with it on the event floor gathering initial impressions to share with you.

    I'm not a huge fan of notches either... but as long as phone makers make rounded corner displays, they might as well have notches, as the usable area of the sides of the notch isn't fully usable anyway.
    They might as well but one at the bottom as well, and put the fingerprint-reader/"home" button in there... unfortunately Android P comes with swipe gestures so the physical "home" button is probably going away... sure there are fingerprint-readers with gesture support, but long swipes would not work... on the other hand, it would offer better tactile feedback, if the long swipe commands were triggered when the finger moves from the sensor to the surrounding area, that is display or at least capacitive sensitive.

    I want the center portion to be 16:9, without any curves or bends, with 1080p or rather 2160p resolution, then it could extend to areas with notches, curves and bends that could then be function areas (perhaps with support for some kind of ambient effect, that sorts of extends the images of the center area, but leaving it intact, kinda like the blurry extension of portrait videos).

        The biggest downfall with Huawei/Honor phones is that the manufacturer doesn't update them. I have a Honor 8 PRO that is only 12 months old and is stuck with Android v7.0 and a security level dated 5th July 2017 with no sign of any update.

          What's the sense of adding AI to the camera if it lacks stabilization?

            Anonymous, 15 May 2018What the heck? Why is CPU performance same as Honor 9? No i... moreKirin 970 has same CPU cores and frequency, but better GPU and fabrication (10 nm instead of 16 nm).

              Nice review! That AI tricks is actually good, but sometimes it blows up the details. This is a great contender for the OnePlus 6!

                I am convinced now of AI technology, Think the AI is more subtle than the flagship P20 and p20 pro...

                  I dont find the P20s and the Honor 10 gorgeous at all. I wished they would have just improve the design from the P10s or the Mate 10s cause they have some of the most beautiful designs I've seen.

                    Not sure I'm convinced by that AI stuff. On one hand, seems to bring more contrast and dynamic range, on the other, seems to oversharpen a bit and saturate colours way too much. Looks to me like a sort of super HDR vivid mode. Setting up the AI at about 50% of what it is should be great!

                          Huawei/Honor cameras used to be great but lately i find them to be terribly over processed and dreadful
