Huawei’s latest flagship P10 was just unveiled and it looks pretty good. The phone is made of metal and the build quality is nothing short of a true flagship.

I love how nicely the phone sits in the hand due to rounded edges on the back and all-aluminum housing that is smooth to the touch and it does not attract fingerprints or smudges like the glass-made phones.

When it comes to the camera, the Huawei upgraded its Leica-branded dual camera system by using the latest 20MP monochrome sensor, which is mainly used to capture sharper detail. Also, there is another 12MP shooter, which is essentially used to capture colors. The camera system has OIS, dual tone dual LED flash and finally, the cameras use f/2.2 aperture Leica lens.

The first camera samples suggest that this camera system is able to capture some pretty good daylight images but more on that in the full review.

As far as selfie camera, Huawei also cooperated with Leica and as a result, we have an improved 8MP selfie shooter with a bright f/1.9 aperture lens. We also have a notification LED light on the top.

The P10 runs on HiSilicon Kirin 960 and it has 4GB of ram and 64GB of expandable storage.

The display looks really good. It sharp, bright and it has vivid colors. Also, the display has the latest Gorilla Glass 5 for scratch resistance.

As for user interface, we have the Emotion UI 5.1. it runs smoothly and there are plenty of features, customization options etc but as always, it all comes whether you will use them or not.

The first impressions are that the phone is very solid, it has a powerful camera setup, great specs and so far we love what we see. Stay tuned to Gizmochina for a full review

Huawei P9 turned out to be quite the success for the Chinese tech giant, which means next year, it needs to launch an even better version of the current generation model. Huawei focused on the dual cameras certified by Leica this year and the collaboration is said to continue in the upcoming models as well, including the Huawei P10. While there’s still a few months for the release of the P10 model (since P9 was released in April 2016), a few renders of the upcoming flagship have made its way on Weibo, revealing an interesting design.

The alleged Huawei P10 renders reveal that the phone will have a bezel-less display. So, it won’t be curved like the Huawei Mate 9 Pro, rather, the design seems to be similar to the Xiaomi Mi Mix. One of the renders even reveals that the phone will be quite thick, unlike the current generation Huawei P9 models which are just 7mm slim. Leica branded dual cameras are also seen on the back and there seems to be dual LED flash as well as Laser Focus on board. We can see a fingerprint sensor as well.

But what really sets these renders apart from the other ones that emerged lately is the secondary display on the side. It looks like the Huawei P10 could sport a small display strip on the left side to reveal essential data such as connectivity details, time and maybe even notifications. With bezel-less front and a secondary side display, the P10 could really be a great flagship for tech lovers.

However, we would like to note that these images come from Weibo and there’s no evidence that they are indeed of the Huawei P10. The images could be the work of photoshop by a Huawei fan, so better take it with a pinch of salt. But to be honest, the design looks quite interesting and we would hope something like this materializes on the P10.

Huawei P10 may not drop anytime this year but would be launched next year, if words of Huawei’s marketing director for sub-Saharan Africa is anything to go by. Although we weren’t actually expecting the P10 until next year, but with the rate surprises are spring up from smartphone makers, we didn’t completely rule out its launch before the year’s end.

However, Hawa Hyath, Hauwei marketing director in charge of sub-Saharan Africa has put paid to such hopes, hinting that the P10 would be launched next year. The company director made the disclosure while speaking at the AfricaCom 2016 conference holding in Cape Town, South Africa. The Huawei official also disclosed that the Huawei P10 would come powered by Huawei’s latest Hisilicon Kirn 960 chipset among other features.

In addition, the marketing director also hinted that the Huawei Mate 9 and sleek Nova phone would hit South Africa in Q1 2017.
