Huawei is expected to officially launch the Mate 10 alongside the Mate 10 Pro and perhaps Mate 10 Porsche Edition later today while it will debut in China on October 20. The Mate 10 series have had quite a lot of hype surrounding its launch. The is mainly as a result of the AI-capable Kirin 970 chip which would fire up the device. Sure, we’d love to see how the AI works since Huawei touts it to be more than a voice assistant. Ahead of the launch, the real shots of the Huawei Mate 10 have leaked, captured from all sides, with the packaging box inclusive. 

Interestingly, we have seen quite a number of leaked photos of the Mate 10 Pro but the Mate 10 has been quite rare in leaks. But from the look of things, both models will have little differences between them. The major difference is expected to be the Mate 10 Pro’s curved edge design. The screen resolution may be another point of difference as the Mate 10 is listed with a Full HD resolution while the Mate 10 Pro is expected with a Quad HD (1440 x 2880 pixels) display and a more classic 16:9 screen aspect ratio. The Mate 10 seems to also have a curved edge design at the back which is made of glass. The rear camera bump looks like that seen on the Mate 10 pro with a reduced bump. The camera is a dual camera setup aligned vertically with the LED flash by its side. The front view shows the device will feature ultra-thin bezels at the chin and would come with a high screen-to-body ratio.

Specs wise, the Huawei Mate 10 is expected to have a 5.9-inch display with 2160 x 1080 pixel resolution and would be powered by a Kirin 970 chip, which is Huawei’s first 10nm chip and one with AI capabilities. One of the photos shows that what we have here is the 4GB RAM + 64GB storage version. Interestingly, it is listed as running EMUI 8 based on Android 8 Oreo but we are actually expecting EMUI 6 as the next version of Huawei customised Android skin. The Mate 10 packs a Leica-branded camera setup which is still a 12MP main sensor teaming up with a 20MP monochrome sensor just like was featured on the Mate 9 and Huawei P10.

Huawei Mate 10’s October 16 launch is just at the corner, the flagship model is expected to pack a whole lot of new hardware including a new AI-capable Kirin 970 processor. While the focus has been on the hardware the Mate 10 is expected to feature, we almost forgot the flagship will also get a new EMUI 6 interface based on Android 8.0 Oreo. Before now, little is known about the new interface, like it would be based on Android Oreo but a new leak has emerged which shows the real features EMUI 6 would bring with it.

The screenshots of a Mate 9 running on Android Oreo-based firmware is the new leak here and it comes courtesy of XDA Developers. The screenshots reveal details such as Picture-in-Picture mode will be one of the features included in EMUI 6. One of the screenshots shows the Background app notification of Android Oreo will be included. Users of smartphones which have gotten updates to Oreo have reported persistent ‘app is running in the background’ notification and that is same with the EMUI-based Oreo.

Basically, EMUI 6 will come with features of Android Oreo, most of which we already know since Google announced its latest OS version. The new features that would likely be on the EMUI 6includes a screen resolution option in display settings which will let users switch between HD and Full HD resolution mode (720p & 1080p).This will definitely be a good power conservation mechanism. Also, EMUI 6 looks to be bringing the option of hiding the navigation bar by including a new button which you can place on the navigation bar. That button will add a small arrow to the left side of the navigation bar and with a swipe from the bottom, you get to hide or show the nav bar. You can check out more features of the new EMUI 6 from the screenshots below or use the source link below to go check out XDA’s post.

Huawei Mobile has released a new video on its Twitter account which teases the Mate 10 that would be unveiled on October 16. This isn’t the first video the company is releasing which projects the capabilities and features of the Mate 10 and it wouldn’t be the last we would be seeing before October 16. But the video is arguably different because it teases the artificial intelligence piloted by the Kirin 970 chip which the Mate 10 features.

Delivering the ultimate experience, going beyond smart, using the transformative power of #AI. Welcome to intelligent. #HuaweiMate10 pic.twitter.com/u9yD1mhdYy

— Huawei Mobile (@HuaweiMobile) September 29, 2017

The video teases the Mate 10 as being not just a smartphone but that it sees, thinks and learns like humans. It further projects the device as coming with built-in AI and thus it goes more than being a smartphone but is an intelligence machine. The teaser still boils down to the AI-capable Kirin 970 chip but it looks promising to see what functions the AI co-ordinates. An earlier teaser had tipped the AI to be more than just a voice prompt, so it is likely going to offer more functions than the likes of Samsung’s Bixby and Amazon’s Alexa and their ilks.

The Huawei Mate 10 promises to be a stunner both on the design and other hardware. The Mate 10 would have a full-screen design but with a considerable amount of bezels and a physical home button but its co-traveller, the Mate 10 Pro is expected with a bezel-less design. The Mate 10 is expected with a 5.99-inch 2k EntireView display with 18:9 aspect ratio. It will get its juice from a 4200mAh battery with fast charging support and would be available in three variants with 4GB RAM and 6GB RAM. On the other hand, the Mate 10 Pro will feature a 6.0-inch 2K display with a similar 18:9 aspect ratio. Just like the Mate 10, it will have an IP67 certification and of course would be powered by a Kirin 970 chip, same as the Mate 10. The Mate 10 is also expected to pack a rear-mounted fingerprint sensor, curved edges and almost 90% screen-to-body ratio. The Mate 10 Pro will also get its juice from a 4,200mAH battery.

Ahead of the October 16 official launch of the Huawei Mate 10, we have had the opportunity of seeing what is said to be the Mate 10’s real photo. The single photo was leaked by popular Twitter leaker Evan Blass (@evleaks). Considering Evan Blass’ track record, we have absolutely no reason to doubt this is actually the Mate 10.

The Mate 10 is traditionally a big smartphone, so no surprise about the large size of the photo. It is a flagship device and from the photo, we can gather that it won’t be too different from the Mate 9 and other preceding Mate series models. Previous rumors had tipped the Mate 10 as coming with a bezel-less, full-screen design but that may not be the case. In fact, a Twitter user expressed this concern and Blass was quick to respond that the bezel-less, full-screen model would be the Mate 10 Pro. Recall that Huawei unveiled the Mate 9 last year along with the Mate 9 Pro which adopted a curved edge display. This time around, the screen will see a change to the trendy bezel-less design.

Huawei’s Mate series flagship for 2017, the Huawei Mate 10 is billed to go official on October 16 after the iPhone 8, Galaxy Note 8 and Mi Mix 2 must have hit the market. The Mate 10 will launch in time to take on the Galaxy Note 8, iPhone 8 and other and Huawei seems to have positioned the device well enough to take on its competitors. The specifications of the Mate 10 is almost entirely known and it includes a 10nm Kirin 970 chip with Artificial Intelligence. On the design angle, the flagship is expected with a full-screen display and even though the device is yet to leak in real life photos, renders of the Mate 10 has been leaked by popular tipster @onleaks.

The renders are a collaborative effort of Ccompareraja and the tipster who by the way, has a track record of releasing near perfect renders that turn out looking like the real smartphone whenever it is launched.  That is because the renders are most times factory CAD-based renders just as in this case. There is also a 360-degree video render of the upcoming flagship model. The images show the device from all angle and it didn’t reveal a bezel-less design but the Mate 10 had tiny bezels at the sides of the display. The edges are also well rounded and this time around, there isn’t going to be a rear fingerprint sensor but a front fingerprint sensor embedded in the home button.

The tipster also reveals the Mate 10 will have a dimension of around 150.2  x 77.5 x 8.4 mm. The device will also come with a dual camera setup at the rear with a slight camera bump design. In addition, the Mate 10 will sport a 5.9-inch screen and from the renders, is likely to have a glass back. There is a USB Type-C port for charging and data connectivity and also, the Mate 10 will be having a 3.5mm audio jack.

The device is also expected to feature the EntireView design which Huawei recently patented. The Mate 10’s 5.9-inch display will come with a resolution of 2160 x 1080 pixel. The dual cameras are also expected to feature the Leica badge but that isn’t reflected on the renders. The configuration may still be a 12MP main sensor teaming up with a 20MP monochrome sensor just like it was featured on the Mate 9 and Huawei P10.

Apart from confirming the launch date for the flagship Mate 10, the tweet also confirms that the Mate 10 would be powered by a Kirin 970 chipset.

Huawei unveiled the Kirin 970 chip, touted to be the world’s first processor with a dedicated NPU at IFA and that means the Mate 10 presents us with the opportunity to see how the new AI chip will function.

Last week, we came across an image teaser that points to an October 16 launch for the Huawei Mate 10 which will likely take place in Munich, Germany. Now, yet another teaser has emerged, this time a video which projects the features of the Mate 10. Both the first image teaser and this video teases the unnamed model with the caption ” Meet the device worth waiting for”. Which means they both refer to the same model.

Although no mention of the Mate 10 was made in the video, there is no doubt the teaser is for the flagship. It was mentioned in the video that the device belong to the Mate series and ordinarily, the Mate 10 is the only expected model in the series. The source of the leak also disclosed that the video is for the Mate 10.

Specifically, the video focuses on the Mate 10’s dual camera which would still be co-engineered with Leica just like on the Mate 9. The camera setup will still be a 12MP main sensor teaming up with a 20MP monochrome sensor in the same manner it was featured on the Mate 9 and Huawei P10. The pictures showcased inside the video could possibly be camera samples of the flagship Mate 10 and they show the possibility of some improvements in the camera quality.

It’s been barely a week since a report emerged that Huawei will begin mass production of the Kirin 970 chip that would feature on its upcoming Mate 10 flagship in September. A new rumour has sprung up from Poland alleging that the Huawei Mate 10 would make its grand debut in October. The rumour was even specific about the launch date being October 16 and the venue to be in Munich. The Huawei P10 was first launched in Europe as well before it was unveiled in China.

The Mate 10 is expected as the final flagship that would be released by the Chinese tech giant this year. It is coming on the heels of the launch of the Huawei P10 earlier in the year, and then the Honor 9 which was launched not too long. The Mate 10 will be the giant of them all, with it size traditionally being phablet size.The device is expected with a 6-inch JDI display with an 18:9 aspect ratio and 2160 x 1080 pixel resolution. The device will feature a Kirin 970 chip, which would Huawei’s first 10nm chip.

The rumour also listed the price tag of the Mate 10 to fall on the region of PLN4,000 in Poland, which is around $1100. In addition to the Mate 10, Huawei is also said to be working on a Mate 10 Lite which would cost half the price of the Mate 10 at PLN1,999 (~$556) and as you’d guess, would have a slightly reduced size from the Mate 10 and it is rumoured to be 5.8 inches. The price tag looks way outrageous and cut off from reality but then, the Mate 10 is meant to rival the iPhone 8 which is expected to have a hefty price tag. But then, Huawei isn’t Apple and doesn’t even have any model which sells as high as $800 and even the Mate 9 is priced less than $800.  This is just a rumour and so, should be taken with a pinch of salt.
