Huawei‘s CEO Yu Chengdong has continued to be the face of the company, reeling out the vision and plans the Chinese mobile phone giant hopes to pursue in the near, mid-term and long-term future. Just recently at the launch of the P10, he hinted that the company was working on a completely bezel-less phone which would take on the likes of the upcoming Galaxy S8 as well as the old birds like the Xiaomi Mi Mix and LG G6. Again, the CEO has unveiled the lofty plans of the company regarding the P10 and P10 Plus flagships which were unveiled in China a few days back.

Yu Chengdong recently disclosed that Huawei has set a tall target of 10 million-unit sales of the P10 and P10 Plus and even aim to surpass that figure in the long run. This sales target would have been easily achievable if only the design and hardware configuration of the P10 flagships were to be considered. The smartphones feature a design language and pack hardware which definitely elicits interests in them but the snag is their pricing, especially the P10 Plus.

The Huawei P10 started at 3,788 Yuan ($550) in China for the base 4GB + 64GB variant which is okay for a flagship but then, the price went on to peak at 5,588 Yuan for the 6GB + 256GB version of the P10 Plus. In fact, the P10 Plus started at 4,388 Yuan ($637) for the 6GB + 64GB version. It is uncertain if the Chinese market is ready for such huge price of over 5,000 Yuan for a smartphone. The Chinese smartphone market is a highly competitive market which has seen most OEMs adjusting their prices in order to compete favourably.

Perhaps, Huawei would be banking on its overseas sales to achieve this figures. The P10 and P10 Plus was first launched in Europe at CES 2017 and even though the price tags were costlier than the China edition, the device has received lots of positive reviews. The price tags mean Huawei is all set to compete on a level playing field with Apple and Samsung which it trails behind in the global standings. We’ll just have to wait to see how this plays out in the long run.

The Huawei P10 and P10 Plus are now set to make their grand entry into the Chinese mobile phone market on March 24. Huawei officially announced that sales activities would commence today on some e-commerce platforms including Huawei Mall, Jingdong, Amazon, Tesco, VMall and several other major Chinese stores. Already, the flagships are now up for pre-orders on these platforms.

The Huawei P10 and P10 Plus were spotted on VMall and according to the information on the products pages, interested customers would need to make a deposit of 999 Yuan along with their reservations. The reservations would be open until March 24 when the P10 and P10 Plus would officially go on sale.

From the products page also, it could be gathered that the Huawei P10 is available in two storage versions with one having 4GB + 64GB and another with 4GB + 128GB.  It would be available in Dazzling Blue, Graphite Black, Rose Gold, Greenery, White Ceramic, Mystic Silver, or Prestige Gold. The ceramics White and green color is exclusively for the higher 4GB + 128GB model. On the other hand, the P10 Plus comes in 6GB + 128GB version as well as 6GB + 64GB storage and 6GB + 256GB emperor version. This configurations take things a lot further than the storage versions of the P10 Plus reeled out at MWC 2017. However, other specifications of the P10 and P10 Plus align with the ones we saw in Barcelona. You can read more about their specifications here.

The final price of both the Huawei P10 and P10 Plus in China is not yet announced but may likely hover around the 699 Euros (~$738) and 799 Euros (~$844) which the P10 and  P10 Plus launched with in Europe.

Among the details listed on the earlier GFXBench appearance include a 6GB RAM and 256GB of storage. Others include a 5.5-inch QHD display, Android Nougat OS and a Kirin 960 chip clocked at 2.3GHz. The camera is listed as a 12MP rear camera and an 8MP front camera.

In contrast, the latest version of the P10 listed specifically as Huawei P10 (VTR-xxx) sports a reduced 5.1-inch 1080p display. The device is listed with the same Kirin 960 processor clocked at 2.3GHz but there is just 4GB of RAM onboard the smartphone as well as 64GB of storage likely expandable. In the camera aspect, this latest version aligns with the previously listed one, packing a 12MP rear shooter and an 8MP selfie shooter.

It is likely that this version is the standard version of the P10 considering the differences in the specs. The previously listed P10 is thus likely the higher version of the P10. What brings more confusion into the mix is the smaller display size it features. That may likely be an error but in the long run, both versions may feature the same screen size and would most likely have the same design. The Huawei P10 would meet with us, full specs in tow at MWC 2017 which is just at the corner.

Ahead of the P10’s launch, the device has appeared n benchmarking outfit – Geekbench’s database and the appearance reveal not just the key specs of the flagship P-series smartphone but also the capabilities of the gadget. The device appears as Huawei VTR-L09 but is said to be the P10 and it is listed as running Android 7.0 Nougat. The device is also listed with an Octa-core 1.84GHz chipset which is the Kirin 960 SoC.

The Huawei P10 is listed to have achieved a single core test score of 1884 points while on the multi-core test, it scored 5964 points. The test score is somewhat on the low side especially in the multi-core test, perhaps due to the underclocked 1.8GHz Kirin 960 in use. Even the Kirin 955 chip onboard the Huawei P9 performed better with a Geekbench score of  6415 points. The P10 is expected to powered by an Hisilicon Kirin 960 chipset with an octa-core processor clocked at 2.3GHz, as well as a Mali G71 GPU powering the graphics. The device will sport a 5.5-inch QHD AMOLED display and have two memory variants of which the lower 4GB RAM version is listed on Geekbench. There is said to be a version of the P10 with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage.  Also, the Huawei P10 is said to have a higher variant, the Huawei P10 Plus which was recently leaked as packing a 5.5-inch display as well as 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. The monstrous RAM size may be inaccurate, though.

Huawei has invariably confirmed that the P10 flagship with dual Leica cameras would be officially unveiled at MWC 2017. The confirmation comes in form of a video teaser which they released earlier today.

The video teaser has the hashtag “#HuaweiP10 is Coming!” ascribed at the top and the video itself projects the Huawei launch event billed for February 26 with the inscription Barcelona 26.02.17 embedded within the teaser. The company did not leave anyone in doubt as to whether the video teaser is meant for the P10 by inscribing the words “Huawei P10” at the end of the video. What the video seems to tease is even the fact that the P10 would feature a dual-lens camera setup at the rear. The dual cameras are expected to be similar to those on the Huawei P9, co-engineered with acclaimed German camera maker Leica.

The video accompanies several social media posts with the statement “Huawei P10 is coming”, so there is no doubt that the launch of the P10 flagship will hold at MWC 2017.  This has been the subject of earlier rumors and these rumors also tipped the P10 to come with a 5.5-inch QHD AMOLED display. The P10 will be powered by an Hisilicon Kirin 960 chipset with an octa-core processor clocked at 2.3GHz, as well as a Mali G71 GPU for the graphics.

A new set of renders has leaked suggesting Huawei has got the P10 and a P10 Plus variants in the works. The Huawei P10 had been making the rounds of late with leaked details coming out left, right and centre. The P10 was recently leaked as coming with more paint jobs and also with a highly sophisticated audio system developed in partnership with Yamaha and Harman Kardon.

Perhaps buoyed by the successful outing so far of the Mate 9 and Mate 9 Pro, the latest leak suggests that Huawei is planning to launch the P10 in two variants. One of the P10 variants comes with a straight display, while the other variant would have a curved edge screen.

Both versions feature dual Leica cameras at the rear but the difference lies in the P10 having a straight screen and the P10 Plus having a curved display. In addition, the Huawei P10 Plus also sports a rear-mounted fingerprint sensor while the P10 packs only a front fingerprint sensor. It is not known if the P10 Plus also has a front fingerprint sensor as it still has a home button at the front. The rear camera on the P10 Plus also has a uniquely designed round flash. The P10 comes with full network support and has a model number VTR-AL00 while the P10 Plus also with full network support comes with model number VIC-ALoo.

Huawei has joined the league of smartphone makers rumored to have a launch at MWC 2017 at hand, with the flagship Huawei P10 expected to drop during the tech event. Before now, we had seen a couple of renders of the said P10 revealing the design. One feature that stood out and had featured in rumors, is that the P10 would use the same Leica co-engineered dual-lens camera setup as its predecessor. That rumor seems to be gaining ground as we have got a couple of leaked images of the P10’s internal components said to have been grabbed from the production factory.

The Huawei P10 internals were posted on Slashleaks yesterday and from the photos, we can see that there is a home button hole up front, so we might get a front fingerprint sensor on the device. Another feature evident in the leaked photos is the presence of dual cameras at the rear.

There are also rumors that in addition to the P10 which is expected to have a 5.2-inch 1080 display with 3100mAh battery, there will also be a P10 Plus which will feature a 5.5-inch curved display with 2K resolution. The P10 Plus is also said to have a bigger 3650mAh battery under its hood. Both versions are expected with the Kirin 960 chipset, with talks of a slightly upgraded Kirin 965 version persisting. The flagship will come equipped with a new dual-aperture f/2.0 Leica camera with support for two optical zooms and OIS. The global version is expected to come pre-loaded with Amazon’s Alexa Voice assistant (just like in the Mate 9) and Google services.

Traditionally, the Huawei P-series smartphones usually drop in April of each year right from the Huawei P8 launched in 2015 to the Huawei P9 launched in 2016. In keeping with the tradition, the Huawei P10 was expected to launch sometime in April this year but that isn’t likely going to happen. That is if words from trusted industry analyst Pan Jiutang is anything to go by.

According to the analyst, the Huawei flagship may be launched at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2017 in Barcelona. The analyst had written on a Weibo post that the Snapdragon 835-powered Samsung Galaxy S8 and Huawei P10 will grab the headlines at Barcelona. Of course, the MWC 2017 is billed to hold from February 27 – March 2 at the Catalan city, home to one of the World’s top flight football club. Since the Galaxy S8 may launch earlier, it is thus likely that the P10 may drop sometime in the early part of March, 2017.

The two images show display panel from both the internal and external aspects.

The leaked images reveal the device sporting a front fingerprint sensor embedded in the home button. The home button itself looks like a virtual button and according to the source, the device would likely feature the same ultrasonic fingerprint recognition technology found on Xiaomi Mi 5S. The home button design is oblong shaped just like the Mi 5S’. This isn’t the first time the existence of a front underglass ultrasonic fingerprint technology is cropping up, the P10 had earlier been rumored as likely featuring the innovative technology.

The P10’s design looks somewhat similar to that of the Mate 9, with it also having well curved edges as well as narrow bezels at the side. There is a physical homebutton just below the display which is also said to function as a fingerprint sensor reinforcing earlier rumors of a front fingerprint sensor on the P10.
