FULL SPECS OF HUAWEI MATE 10

DISPLAY AND DESIGN
The Mate 10 is totally different from its other predecessors in terms of design and display.

The Huawei Mate 10 following the ongoing new designs and display of 2017 smartphones, weighing 186g with dimensions of 150.5 x 77.8 x 8.2mm alongside a 5.9-inch (pixel density of 499 pixels per inch) LCD screen display with 16:9 aspect ratios having its resolution to be 1440 x 2560 offering one of the most stunning display experience ever noticed on a Huawei smartphone.

As for the Mate 10, its fingerprint scanner is placed beneath the display’s bezel, while the Mate 10 Pro has its fingerprint scanner centred on the rear camera.

Huawei Mate 10 does not feature the IP67 certification to make it water and dust resistant instead, Huawei built the feature on the Mate 10 Pro. But it's good to know that the 3.5mm Headphone Jack didn't go off the Huawei Mate 10, unlike the Mate 10 Pro.

OS & PROCESSOR
I was actually convinced with what OS the Huawei Mate 10 series will be running when I first got my eyes on its rumoured specifications, with the teaser video I saw earlier during the campaign made me believe the smartphone will be running on Android 8.0 Oreo OS, this will enable users to enjoy the benefits of Android Oreo. And because it operates on Android 8.0, Huawei is saying goodbye to EMUI 5.1 bringing in the new EMUI 8 that will work more effectively with the new Android OS.

Know this that during the launch event, was also announced Huawei's new Kirin 970 Neural Processing Unit (NPU) and is first rolled out to the Huawei Mate 10. This processor is the first to be designed with Artificial Intelligence (AI), and in conjunction with its Custom NPU, Huawei says the Kirin 970 processor will make use of the AI to the world around you. There's a lot you can do with the Artificial Intelligence which is discussed before the end of this post.
Working with the processor is an Octa-core (4x2.4 GHz Cortex-A73 & 4x1.8 GHz Cortex-A53) CPU and Mali-G72 MP12 GPU

Also in the Huawei Mate 10 is included a MicroSD slot capable of housing up to 256GB of expandable space.

RUMOURED SPECS AND PRICE OF HUAWEI MATE 10

OS & Processor

Most uniquely, Huawei Mate 10 is expected to run on the latest Android 8.0 Oreo OS as both icons of Huawei company and Android Oreo were seen so close to each other in a square image. See image below.

The smartphone is expected to debut the much-anticipated Kirin 970 chipset including the new Emotion UI 6.

Display and Design

Huawei Mate 10 is expected to feature a 6-inch, 2:1 QHD screen display with 2160 x 1080 resolution and dimension 150.2 x 77.5 x 8.4mm. Also should be tiny bezels to either side of the screen.

The design of Huawei Mate 10 is going look great and stunning. Huawei has chosen to be part of other smartphone companies giving water resistant feature to their smartphones.

Just like the iPhone X, iPhone 8 and 8 Plus, Galaxy Note 8, Google Pixel 2 and 2 XL, Huawei Mate 10 should be featuring a design compatible with water resistance. That is, you should be able to make use of your phone even when it is raining or can even dunk your phone in water.

Camera

Huawei Mate 10 is rumoured to feature a dual-lens rear camera. At the back of the phone is seen a pairing 23MP and 20MP dual-lens rear camera.

If this turns out to be true, I believe it will give the smartphone an outstanding camera quality.

Battery

With all these specs packed in Huawei Mate 10, it is rumoured to have it powered by a 4,000mAh battery.

Price

I don't expect Huawei Mate 10 to be high in price.

It is rumoured to sell for around $599.99 (£579, AU$999).

Note: There's also a rumour speculating that Huawei Mate 10 will be launched alongside a twin phone to be called the Mate 10 Pro, and it should be having similar specs as Huawei Mate 10.

So that will be all for now. The launch event is justl a few hours away, let's wait for that special time when the smartphone will become official with the real specs. Hopefully, the rumoured specs might turn out to be true.
