Gizmochina’s Linas has been checking out all the new phones at MWC 2017. Huawei announced the new Huawei P10 and Huawei P10 Plus at MWC and we got our hands on the Huawei P10 flagship today. So, here are some great Huawei P10 hands on images of the device, directly from MWC, Barcelona.

The Huawei P10 gets an upgrade in terms of its design and looks, and now, it resembles like most other smartphones in the market. The corners are round and this makes the P10 look more like the iPhone 7 Plus. In fact, if you look closely, there’s a good resemblance to the Google Pixel series. Now, while some may complain about a lack of original design of the P10, Huawei has made sure that the phone has a solid built quality. The phone looks and feels great and the eight color and three different texture options help give your phone a separate identity. 

We got our hands on the beautiful silver variant of the device and the overall built quality of the device was top notch. The front features 2.5D Gorilla Glass protection. The back now has antenna lines on the top and the bottom, similar to Meizu and iPhone’s design, which means they are less evident at the back. Then you have the new generation of dual cameras on the top as well as dual LED flash and laser focus.

Up front, you’ll notice that the side bezels are pretty thin, although there’s considerable bezel on the top as well as the bottom. The button like thing you see on the bottom bezel is the under glass fingerprint sensor. So, it’s not really a physical button but it accepts a number of gestures acting as an all-in-one Home / Back button.

The power button and volume buttons are tactile and the texture along with the red color highlight on the power button is a nice touch.

The USB Type-C port, 3.5mm headphone jack, and the speakers are all located at the bottom of the device.

From the time we got to play around with the device, the UI is super smooth and the gaming performance is also great, thanks to the powerful Kirin 960 chip inside with 4GB of RAM.

There’s a beautiful 5.1-inch display on the front with 1080p display. Under the hood, the phone has a 3200mAh battery with 4GB + 64GB memory combination. It’s running Android 7 Nougat out of the box with the company’s EMUI skin on top.

Unlike other Chinese smartphone companies, Huawei is constantly looking to differentiate its devices in the market. It is one of the first mainstream companies to adopt dual camera design on multiple smartphone series in 2016. And to a considerable extent, its smartphone like the Huawei P9 and the Honor 8 have managed to get our attention.

Although the company released three major phones this year —  the Huawei P9, Honor 8 and the Honor V8 — among other mid-rangers, there’s still a couple of powerful phones left in the lineup. One of these phones we’ll meet in September, probably the Mate S2, with the Mate 9 slated for late 2016 release.

However, rumors about the Huawei P10 smartphone have already started to come in. The latest rumor from Weibo reveals that the Huawei P10 will feature a front facing fingerprint sensor. If true, this would make the first major Huawei phone to feature a front-facing fingerprint sensor, as the company has been using a rear-mounted fingerprint design on all its recent smartphones. If you remember, another rumor had revealed the front fingerprint sensor design a couple of months ago.

If the sensor is up front, it also means that the phone will probably have a physical home button on the front as well. It would be interesting to see what home button design would Huawei use on the device.

Since this is a Weibo leak, we can’t be sure of its authenticity. So, make sure you take it with a pinch of salt. Only after we see a few renders or real images of the Huawei P10, will we be more certain of this claim.
