Huawei has been lately updating its older flagship smartphones in China with new features introduced in EMUI 10 on the Mate 30 series. These features include multi-screen collaboration, screen sharing, and smart charging mode. The P20 series and Mate 10 series received an update for the same last month. Now, the Honor 10 is getting a similar treatment via EMUI 10.0.0.178 OTA update.

Although it is literally the same update with a similar set of features and April 2020 security patch, the build number Huawei P20 series, Mate 20 series, and Honor 10 are different from each other.

Here’s some brief information about the new features that come with this update.

• Multi-screen collaboration
  • Easy file transfers between supported Huawei laptops
  • Screen mirroring and control
• Screen sharing
  • Share screens with users on video calls
• Smart Charging
  • Avoids charging of phone’s battery to full
  • Slows down charging at higher levels

The new OTA update for Honor 10 weighs 854MB and hence we recommend users to download it via WiFi to avoid extra data charges by their carriers. Also, this update is currently limited to the Chinse variant and we are not sure when the global versions will receive it.

While Huawei has promised Android Q will be available for several of its devices in multiple instances, Honor seems to have only confirmed the update for the Honor 20 series. However, that isn’t the case. Honor India actually revealed over a week ago that two other phones will be getting the Android Q update. These two phones are the Honor 8X and the Honor 10.

Both the Honor 8X and the Honor 10 were released last year and already have successors – Honor 9X and Honor 20 respectively. Both phones launched with EMUI 8.x based on Android 8.1 Oreo but have now been updated to Android Pie.

The evidence that both phones will get the update to Android Q are replies on Twitter to questions asked on if both phones will get the update.

Thank you for showing your interest for Android Q. We would like to inform you that our software team has already evaluated and confirmed the compatibility of Android Q upgrade with Honor 8X.

The Honor 8X and Honor 10 should get the update along with EMUI 10 which should debut with the Mate 30 series later this year. However, the update may not arrive on both phones until much later.

There are still other devices that Honor hasn’t confirmed will get the Android Q update such as the Honor View 20 and the Honor Play. We will be assuming that since it has confirmed the update for the Honor 8X and Honor 10, their siblings – the Honor 8X Max and Honor Note 10 will also be updated to Android Q.

Thank you for showing your interest for Android Pie, we would like to inform you that our software team has confirmed the compatibility of device with Android Pie with EMUI 9.1 and expected to be released the final version from 30th Jul’19 onwards.

In a more recent tweet, Honor India also confirmed that the Honor 7X will receive an update that brings EMUI 9.0 based on Android Pie starting July 30.

Huawei never fails to satisfy its customers when it comes to quality. That is one reason the company is the world’s second largest smartphone vendor in terms of shipment volume.For instance, can your phone survive a fall from the fifth floor of a building and still work? How about an accidental drop from the 21st floor of a building? Huawei’s smartpones have been shown on different scenarios to have experienced such and they still kept working.

A netizen who happens to own an Honor 10 smartphone took to China’s Weibo to share the story of his Honor 10 fell down from the fifth floor of a build and the display got shattered. A year after, he picked up the phone and after charging, it was switched on. Interestingly, the phone still continued working despite the entire touchscreen digitizer panel was shattered. Even the LCD panel was partially damaged at the top half but the owner was still able to make a call with the phone. It is possible that with the split screen feature, some apps that support split screen can still be used seamlessly.

Even the VP of Honor’s business department Xiong Junmin commented that the impact of the fall was more ferocious than the drop experiment of the Honor Lab.

This experience is similar to that of the Huawei P20 which reportedly fell from the 21st floor of a building last year and got shattered but still continued working. According to the owner, some features continued working seamlessly. Features such as Face Unlock, fingerprint sensor, Bluetooth. Apart from physical damage to the fuselage and a broken rear camera, other features and apps such as the internet connection, WeChat etc still worked normally. You could even receive calls with the phone.

Alongside its latest flagship Honor Play, Huawei has also announced GPU Turbo, a very innovative technology which is able to enhance the performance of its smartphones via software. After unveiling the new technology, the company has declared that, besides Honor Play, it would be launched on several other Huawei existing phones. The Chinese giant has just started the beta testing phase of this technology for the Honor 10.

It is possible to get the beta firmware containing the new technology by adhering to the beta testing phase on the Huawei Pollen Club official forum. GPU Turbo will be very useful in gaming scenarios as it is able to enhance graphics processing performance by up to 60 percent. It can also reduce the power consumption by up to 30 percent. Further, it can improve the viewing quality with games. It can work on both flagships and affordable Huawei handsets, no matter which Kirin SoC they have.

The company has already confirmed the devices which will get the GPU Turbo technology. Besides Honor Play and Honor 10, there will be Huawei Mate 10 and Honor V10, which will get GPU Turbo by the end of June. The whole P20 series, Mate RS Porsche Design, Nova 2S and M5 tablets will be updated in July, then several other handsets will follow.

The launch of the Honor Play and the Honor 9i doesn’t mean the Honor 10 has been put on the back burner. The flagship has received a new update that brings a number of new features and improvements.

The first of the features the update brings is an app called Party Mode. Party mode lets owners of the Honor 10 pair up multiple units of the phone together via NFC and play the same song at the same time. The feature is said to be available on the Honor View 10 too but there is no confirmation you can pair both phones together.

Another feature included in the update is an enhancement for the camera app. The AI camera now shows a text informing you of the photo effect in use when it detects the scenery in focus.

Are you looking for a high-end or a flagship phone but don’t have enough money to get the most expensive ones? Then the OnePlus 6 and the Huawei Honor 10 could be your perfect match. They boast flagship-level components even though their price is way lower than Samsung Galaxy S9, iPhone X and all the known top-end smartphones of 2018. In some countries such as India there isn’t even a big difference between the prices of these two handsets, so we decided to post a comparison which can potentially help you in the choice.

Who will win between OnePlus 6 vs Honor 10? Keep reading to find out.

OnePlus 6 vs Huawei Honor 10

Design

Aesthetics have always been the strong point of Honor flagships and this doesn’t change with the Honor 10. It comes with a stunning reflective glass back which is also available in gradient colors. OnePlus 6 has a glass back as well and it is very elegant, but it is not as attractive and unique as the one of Honor 10. But on the other hand, note that OP6 has some sort of protection which makes it splash resistant, so we can define it as a flagship with a better build quality. If we had to choose a device by basing on the aesthetics, we would pick Honor 10 for its original design and its smaller dimensions.

Display

OnePlus 6 definitely has a more interesting display than its opponent. It sports an Optic AMOLED panel with sRGB and DCI-P3 support, with a higher size (6.28 inches) and also Gorilla Glass 5 protection. This display is able to show stunning color and very deep blacks. Honor 10 has just a classic IPS FHD+ display and there is nothing special in terms of viewing quality. So we prefer OnePlus 6 for multimedia and viewing quality.

Hardware/Software

We still didn’t have the chance to test it thoroughly, but we believe that OnePlus 6 will not only provide better performance than the Honor 10, but it will also be one of the fastest and smoothest smartphones in the market. It comes with a higher-end SoC and up to 8 GB RAM and, even though Honor 10 has flagship-level components too, there should be a noticeable difference in performance, at least in the most demanding scenarios such as gaming and multi-tasking. Thanks to EMUI, Honor 10 has more features on the software side and it is more comfortable to use. But OnePlus 6 wins when it comes to hardware and performance.

Camera

Both OnePlus and Huawei made huge steps forward at improving the cameras of its flagships. These handsets can capture stunning photos and awesome videos, with a high level of detail even in less suitable conditions. We are going to prefer OnePlus 6 as it sports OIS and it can record 4K videos at 60 fps, but Honor 10 remains an amazing camera phone for both normal photos and selfies thanks to its 24 MP front snapper.

Battery

OnePlus 6 and Honor 10 have a 3300 mAh and a 3400 mAh battery, respectively. Both the batteries can last one day of normal use and the difference in battery life between them is not very noticeable. Both are well-optimized, but due to its AMOLED display, OnePlus 6 should last a bit more in several scenarios.

Price

Prices depend on the region. There are zones in which OnePlus 6 is much more expensive than Honor 10 and zones such as India where there is just a $20 difference (Rs. 32999). In the global market, Honor 10 has been launched for just €399/$467, while OnePlus 6 starts from €519/$529 (Rs. 34999 in India). OnePlus 6 wins the battle, so we would get it if we find these two handsets at around the same price like in India, but Honor 10 has a higher value for money in the global market.

Which one would you pick?

If you are familiar with Honor’s product lineup, then you should know that Honor’s first flagship for the year usually gets a Lite version. A new device with model number Honor LLD-AL20 may just be the Honor 10 Lite we’ve been expecting.

The model number is similar to that of the Honor 9 Lite (LLD-AL10, LLD-TL10) with the only difference being the figure “2”. TENAA has also not included pictures, so we can’t further confirm if it has the same design as the Honor 10.

The Honor LLD-AL20 has a 5.84-inch screen with a 2280 x 1080 display. That resolution means the device also has a notch in its display and will have a 19:9 aspect ratio.

It is powered by a 2.36GHz octa-core processor which is none other than the Kirin 659. It has 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage which can be expanded by up to an extra 256GB via a MicroSD card slot. The Honor device will come with dual rear cameras – a 13MP sensor paired with a 2MP sensor for capturing depth of field details. The front camera is a 16MP sensor.

It runs Android 8.0 Oreo, has a fingerprint scanner, and a 2,900mAh battery. Its dimensions are given as 149.2 × 71.8 × 7.7 mm and its weight is 152g. When it launches, it will come in Black, gray, and Blue.

The Honor 10 can be termed a cheaper version of the Huawei P20. It has nearly the same internals save for the Leica-Huawei co-developed sensors. Its cheaper price tag has paid off as Honor has announced that it has sold over a million units since it went on sale.

The Honor 10 was released on April 19 in China and went on sale online and offline on April 27. Less than 5 minutes after it went on sale, Honor said online sales had crossed ¥400 million.

Today, Honor’s President, Zhao Ming, took to Weibo to announce that they have sold over a million units of the Honor 10 smartphone. This figure is only for China and doesn’t include the new markets the Honor 10 launched in recently.

The Honor 10 has a 5.84-inch display with a notch at the top and a 2280 x 1080 resolution. It is powered by the Kirin 970 processor which has a dedicated NPU for AI tasks. The chipset is paired with 6GB of RAM and 64GB/128GB of storage.

The Honor 10 may not have the Huawei P20’s Leica cameras but its sensors also have AI features. The primary camera is a 16MP sensor and it is paired with a 24MP secondary sensor. However, it uses the same 24MP selfie camera as the P20 series which also packs a lot of features and supports Face Unlock.

The rest of the specs include NFC, a USB-C port, a 3.5mm audio jack, a dedicated Hi-Fi audio chip, and a 3,320mAh battery with support for Huawei’s Supercharge fast charging.

The 64GB Honor 10 is sold for ¥2599 (~$408) and the 128GB model is priced at ¥2999 (~$471).

Huawei‘s flagship Honor 10 was first announced in China a couple of weeks back before the tech giant rolled out the device for Europe and India a few days back. It has now emerged that the Honor 10 turned out to be a highly popular model in Europe. The launch day sales of the Honor flagship is said to have seen the stock exhausted in no distant time. 

The Honor 10 reportedly sold out in just six hours in Spain while the Phantom Blue Honor 10 sold out within the day in France.

This isn’t really coming out as a surprise considering the rich specs line up the Honor 10 packs, not to talk about the affordable price tag and its glittering premium design. Recall that the Honor 10 was launched adorning an impressive glass chassis that has the ability to show different colours when it is viewed from different angles. It is equipped with a notched display that offers a large screen space. Some of the other attractive features of the Honor 10 include improved AI 2.0, Kirin 970 chipset, 6 GB RAM, 128 GB storage, AI-driven dual cameras, a powerful selfie shooter, NFC, front fingerprint scanner and more. The device is equally reasonably priced in Europe at €400 for the base variant.

The Honor 10 launched in China last month, now it has gone global starting with the UK and India. The new Honor flagship arrives in these markets with an attractive price tag and may pose a challenge to other flagships in the market.

The Honor 10 can be referred to as a cheaper alternative to the Huawei P20 but without the Leica cameras. The phone comes with the same Kirin 970 found in the P20, P20 Pro, and Porsche Design Mate RS, so performance is practically the same.

The Honor 10 has a 5.84” IPS LCD FHD+ Full View display with a notch at the top. The UK version has 4GB of RAM and 128GB of built-in storage

There are dual cameras on the rear – 24MP + 16MP – both with a f/1.8 aperture. The Honor 10 has AI camera features which include scene recognition. So it can recognize if the subject is a pet, building, food, lake, sky, or hill and automatically adjusts the camera to the best settings. Honor says scene recognition for a cloudy day, ancient architecture, bicycles, and pandas will be added later via an update.

The front camera is a 24MP sensor with AI features that adjusts lighting condition automatically. It also has a 3D portrait lighting mode for professional portrait images. There is a fingerprint scanner below the display. Honor says it is an ultrasonic sensor that works even with wet hands. It also has face unlock which is said to be super fast.

The Honor 10 packs a 3400mAh battery with support for Honor Supercharge 5V/4.5A which lets you charge the phone to 50% in just 25 minutes.

The phone runs EMUI 8.1 based on Android 8.1 Oreo out of the box. It has dual SIM support, NFC, Bluetooth 4.2, a USB-C port, and a 3.5mm audio jack.

Honor 10 Price

The Honor 10 may as well be one of the cheapest flagships money can buy. It will set you back just £399.99 with a free pair of Honor AM61 Bluetooth earphones. You can also get a £30 voucher when you sign up on the HiHonor UK page. It is also available right away on Amazon UK and Carphone Warehouse. It will also be sold by Three UK on a monthly plan starting Thursday, May 17.

The phone comes in Phantom Blue (with the color changing back) and Phantom Gray. A TPU case and a screen protector (already applied) are included in the box.

After launching Honor 10 in China last month, Huawei‘s sub-brand Honor has now launched its flagship smartphone in the Indian market. The launch for the Indian market was announced at an event held in London, where the phone was also launched globally.

In India, the Honor 10 has been priced at Rs. 32,999, which roughly converts to $485. The phone will be available for purchase through homegrown online marketplace Flipkart. It’ll also be available to buy via Hi Honor online store in India.

Design-wise, the phone comes with a new kind of design, which is a departure from what we have seen from the company in the past. The smartphone features an aluminum frame with glass back that shifts color depending on how you hold it and how the light hits the surface.

The Honor 10 features a 5.84-inch Full-HD+ FullView Display with 2280 x 1080 pixels screen resolution and 19:9 aspect ratio. There’s a notch on top of the display, which the company says it has been planning since past four years.

Under the hood, the smartphone is powered by the company’s own octa-core HiSilicon Kirin 970 chipset, which consists of four Cortex-A73 cores clocked at 2.36GHz and four Cortex-A53 cores clocked at 1.8GHz, and a dedicated neural processing unit.

The chipset is coupled with 6GB of RAM and the phone packs 128GB internal storage. There’s also another variant of the device which packs 6GB RAM and 64GB onboard storage, however, the company has decided not to launch that model in the Indian market.

As of the photography, the Honor 10 comes with a dual camera setup at the back, featuring a 16-megapixel sensor with f/1.8 aperture and phase detection autofocus. The secondary sensor is a 24-megapixel monochrome sensor, which can be proved helpful in low-light conditions. On the front side, there’s a 24-megapixel camera with AI features.

Connectivity options on the smartphone include 4G VoLTE, Wi-Fi 802.11ac, Bluetooth v4.2, GPS/ A-GPS, NFC, USB Type-C, and a 3.5mm headphone jack. The phone sports a 7.1 multi-channel Hi-Fi audio chip with support for 7-channel sound effects. The smartphone is running Android 8.1 Oreo operating system out of the box and is powered by a 3,400mAh battery with Honor Supercharge — the company’s fast charging technology.

Meizu released a new trio of smartphones to celebrate its 15th anniversary: a mid-ranger, an upper-midrange, and a flagship. With the Meizu 15 line-up, the Chinese company is embracing the most important price ranges in the market and it is offering premium phones at very competitive prices. Another premium device which is very convenient to buy is definitely the Honor 10. It looks like Huawei decided to release a P20 trio composed of two flagships and a mid-ranger, while the upper-midrange segment (well, it is more a flagship than a simple upper-midrange) has been left to its sub-brand Honor.

Given that Meizu 15 and Honor 10 are two important smartphones of 2018 in the same price range, we decided to compare Meizu 15 vs Honor 10 to help potential buyers with their choice.

Meizu 15 vs Huawei Honor 10

In a few words, we think Meizu 15 will be a more premium device when it comes to multimedia, while its opponent has a more attractive design (at least according to my taste) and better performance. Meizu 15 has a more interesting display thanks to the Super AMOLED technology which is able to provide richer colors and deep blacks. Further, it has stereo speakers which offer a more powerful audio experience. The camera should also be better on the Meizu 15: as you can see from our first camera samples, the photo quality is impressive, even in low light conditions.

On the other side, Honor 10 has a more powerful SoC, so it will surely have better performance. It also has a bigger battery but given the low consumption of Meizu 15’s AMOLED display and the efficient Snapdragon 660, it is yet to see if Honor 10 will provide a longer battery life.

Meizu 15 is priced at about $395/€323 in China for its base variant, while Honor 10 starts from $414/€338. So, which one should you buy? Well, it depends on your needs. If you care about performance, camera, and want to impress yourself and your friends with the aesthetics of your device, then choose the Honor 10. Simply put, the Honor 10 looks more impressive among the two.

But if you want excellent camera performance and the best multimedia experience, go for the Meizu 15 because of its display and stereo speakers. Note that Meizu is still using a 16:9 display without a notch. It could be a big differentiator for some potential customers.

Which one would you pick?

Huawei‘s sub-brand Honor, which is known for making value-for-money smartphones, is all set to launch Honor 10 in India. The smartphone has been confirmed to launch in India on 15th May. Notably, the company is also hosting an event in London on 15th to launch the Honor 10 in several international markets.

Now, the latest information reveals that the Honor 10 will go on sale in India from 16th May midnight and will be available exclusively from online retailer Flipkart. For those who are interested in buying the Honor‘s flagship smartphone, Flipkart has also activated the ‘Notify Me’ option.

While there is no official information available regarding the phone’s pricing, several reports indicate that it will be priced around Rs. 35,000 (approximately $518). If the device gets priced around Rs. 35,000, it will compete against other affordable premium flagships, such as the OnePlus 6, which is slated to launch in India on 17th May.

The Honro 10 features a 5.84-inch Full-HD+ display with a screen resolution of 1080 × 2280 pixels, bearing an aspect ratio of 19:9. The smartphone packs a powerful Huawei’s HiSilicon Kirin 970 64-bit processor along with 6GB of RAM. It is expected to be available in two storage options — 64GB and 128GB. There is no microSD card slot for expanding the storage capacity.

Coming to the camera department, the smartphone comes with a 16-megapixel + 24-megapixel dual-camera setup with dual LED flash and f/1.8 aperture on the back. On the front side, there’s a 24-megapixel front shooter for selfies and face-to-face video chat.

It runs EMUI 8.1 based Android 8.1 Oreo operating system out-of-the-box and is backed by a 3,400mAh battery which comes with quick charging support. According to the handset maker, the bundled charger will be capable of charging the Honor 10 up to 50 percent in just 25 minutes.

The Honor 10 was announced in China a few weeks ago. The flagship from Huawei’s sub-brand will be making its way to other regions such as India and the UK.

Although Honor has not announced a launch date for India, it has revealed details about availability.

According to the VP Sales of Huawei India Consumer Business Group, P Sanjeev, Flipkart will be their exclusive online sale partner for the Honor 10.

With respect to price, Mysmartprice says the new flagship may be priced around Rs. 35.000 (~$525). In China, the phone sells for ¥2599 (~$408) for the 64GB variant and ¥2999 (~471) for the 128GB variant. So our guess is that the Rs. 35,000 price may be for the 128GB model.

A leaked poster refers to the Honor 10 as the OnePlus killer, if it wants to live up to that expectation, then it will have to sell at a very competitive price.

The Honor 10’s selling point is its camera performance which has been bolstered by AI features. It has a 24MP selfie camera and a 24MP + 12MP dual camera combo on the rear.

Finally, Honor 10 is among us, and we can place it as a more affordable version of the Huawei P20 since it shares a similar design and very similar specs to the latest Huawei flagship. The handset distinguishes itself from the competition due to its great quality-price ratio, just like Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro which is already a best-seller of 2018, even though it was launched just two months ago. Will the Honor 10 beat Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro in terms of sales and become a best-seller like the iconic Honor 8? In this Honor 10 vs Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro comparison, we will discover if it has the potentialities to do it.

Huawei Honor 10 vs Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro

The bigger display without a notch found on the Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro is great, but Honor 10 is definitely a more attractive handset if we talk about aesthetics (especially in its gradient hues). It has a much better design with its glass back and its notched front panel helping to reduce the overall dimensions of the phone. Honor 10 is more beautiful and also more compact than its opponent. Further, it has better performance thanks to a more powerful Kirin 970 chipset which is exactly the same as Huawei P20 and P20 Pro. On the other hand, Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro has a more efficient chipset (the Snapdragon 636 by Qualcomm) and even a bigger battery.

So, if your biggest priority is battery, you should go for the Redmi Note 5 Pro. But Honor 10 wins again in terms of camera performance. It features a dual camera which supports AI in order to fine-tune parameters automatically and shoot perfect photos. The front camera is outstanding as well with its 24 MP, and it supports AI just like the rear cameras for selfie beautification. Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro is far from being a bad camera phone, but we do not think it is at the same level.

Honor 10 is definitely a better device, but it has a higher price tag. Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro has been launched in India first, with prices starting from $218. Honor 10 has just been launched in China and it costs about $414. So, Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro definitely has a higher value for money.

The handset also provides an option to hide the notch by blackening the areas that are present on its either sides, similar to what we saw on the P20 Pro. The home button placed on the bottom bezel of the Honor 10 is integrated with an ultrasonic fingerprint scanner. The Ultrasonic fingerprint sensor offers better security than a traditional sensor. Further, it can be used to unlock it even with wet fingers.

Performance

The Kirin 970 chipset brings along its NPU unit for handling AI tasks. Unlike the P20 that comes in a single option of 4 GB RAM + 128 GB storage, the Honor 10 comes in multiple variants. The different models of the Honor 10 are 6 GB RAM + 64 GB storage and 6 GB RAM + 128 GB storage. The 3,320mAh battery of the phone is enabled with support for SuperCharge 5V/4.5A fast charging technology. It allows the phone to gain 50 percent of power by charging it only for 25 minutes.

The Android 8.1 Oreo that is overlaid with EMUI 8.1 is available on the Honor 10.

With AI 2.0, the horizontally arranged dual camera sensors carries support for scene recognition like food, scenery, and so on. When there are a lot of people in the scene, the Honor 10 can precisely blur others in the background and focus more on the subject. The smart fill light effect can automatically lighten up the face of the user according to the lighting of the surroundings in order to capture enhanced shots. The AI album available on the Honor 10 can smartly classify the images in different folders which makes it easier to find them.

The Honor 10 houses the same Sony IMX578 24-megapixel selfie camera that is available on the P20 series smartphones. Whether it is day or night, the selfie snapper is optimized to capture excellent photos in any lighting conditions. It can apply different optimization for hair, face, and background for shooting perfect selfie shots. It can also identify facial features and accordingly enhance specific areas like eyes and nose.

The front camera of the Honor 10 can be also used for facial recognition. It also carries support for AR stickers.

We won’t be surprised if Honor releases multiple models with the scanner in different positions. Vivo did the same with the X21 which has a version with an in-display fingerprint scanner called the Vivo X21 UD.

The Honor 10 launches tomorrow, so we will not have to wait for long to confirm if the above is true. Leaked renders already show that the fingerprint scanner is on the chin in one variant.

The Honor 10 will have a 5.84” FHD+ display with a notch at the top. The Kirin 970 will be the chipset of choice and it will be paired with 4GB or 6GB of RAM. Storage should also reach 128GB depending on the variant.

Some rumors have claimed that it would be sporting a notch like the Huawei P20, but there are some other sources that have claimed that it may feature a display that offers 100 percent screen-to-body ratio.

Huawei’s Honor brand has been in the news lately as a result of the Honor 10 flagship which would join the fray very soon. Huawei has already scheduled an event for May 15 in London and during the event, we expect the Honor 10 to hit Europe. The flagship will also be launching in China on April 19. Expectations surrounding the Honor 10 includes the presence of a Kirin 970 chipset which brings AI to the smartphone, 5.8-inch display, 6GB RAM and 256GB storage. In addition to that, a new detail which leaked recently showing the presence of some advanced features on the Honor 10’s camera.

The Honor 10 is also expected to feature the same 12MP + 20MP dual camera setup featured on the Huawei P20. The new feature is dubbed “semantic image segmentation mode”. The mode is a system to achieve multi-scene detection within a single photo. Already, the Kirin 970 AI chipset brings some advanced AI camera features that allow it to recognise objects like pets, snow, beaches, mountains, etc. However, this new algorithm seems to further extend that functionality, allowing the camera to recognise more than one feature within a still and also determine their position precisely. The feature also allows the application of localized effects and tweaks as needed.

The leak also includes a couple of sample photos allegedly captured by the Honor 10’s shutters and the photos show how the semantic image segmentation mode pans out. One of the pictures is that of the semantic mode turned on and the second is of the mode turned off. The difference is pretty glaring with the new feature adding some attractive tweaks to the picture.

Apart from the sample photos all that were revealed include a couple of thumbnails which showcasing how the detection actually works in some scenes. The feature actually sounds promising but we’ll have t wait until the launch to confirm this.

Huawei’s sub-brand Honor has confirmed yesterday that the Honor 10 will be unveiled on April 19 in China. Today, a new image showing the rear panel of the Honor 10 has appeared on Weibo. It reveals that it could be the first Honor flagship phone to feature Leica branded dual cameras.

In the below image, the Honor 10 sporting a color gradient finish of blueish purple. The color gradient is different from the Twilight color option of the Huawei P20. The Honor 10 has a horizontally arranged dual camera module, but the P20 has a vertically arranged dual camera setup. The COL-AL10 model number can be seen at the bottom of the phone.

The rear panel of the Honor 10 seems to be made out of 3D glass and it could be sporting a metallic frame. The volume rocker and power key are present on the right edge (when viewed from front) of the phone. Since the fingerprint scanner is not available on the phone, it is likely to feature a frontal home button embedded fingerprint sensor like the Huawei P20. However, some rumors claim that it may feature under-display fingerprint sensor.

The leaked image has the text “Dual Lens 1:1.6/27 ASPH” mentioned on the top-right corner. The same text can be also found near the dual rear cameras of the Huawei Mate 10 and Mate 10 Pro from October 2017. Hence, the Honor 10 could sport the same dual cameras that can be found on Mate 10.

Huawei had introduced Leica branding for dual rear cameras starting from Huawei P9 series. However, the Honor flagships have never featured Leica cameras. Hence, like the predecessor Honor 9 phone, the Honor 10 may not camera SUMMILUX or Leica branding.

Rumors have it that it may feature a 5.8-inch screen that will be enabled with a notch. The Kirin 970 chipset is expected to power the Honor flagship. Also, it is rumored that the highest configuration variant of the phone may feature 256 GB of internal storage and 6 GB of storage. The launch poster of the phone confirms that it will be equipped with AI capabilities for photography.
