The Huawei P10 is an impressive beast – it’s gorgeous, powerful and the dual cameras are a huge improvement over the 2016 flagship, the P9. Portrait mode works better than expected, photos are crisp, vibrant and detailed and even the selfie camera has had a meaningful upgrade. Huawei’s EMUI, one of the most controversial Android overlays, is much better to use than with previous smartphones, and offers machine learning algorithms that should speed up your phone the more you use it. Even the price is competitive at £569. The only downside? Despite being of a high capacity, the battery life of the P10 isn’t great, and some users may find that they have to plug it in to top it up once or twice a day, just to get through.

Huawei did not promise too much: The P10 Lite is a real alternative to the expensive, almost 600-Euro (~$636), P10 . As with its high-end relative, the mid-range convinces with an excellent build, which makes it look significantly more expensive than one would imagine considering its current street...

high-quality build; Dual-SIM; LTE and NFC; very fast 5 GHz WLAN; high-quality camera; good display; decent battery runtimes; low heat development; no throttling

no USB Type-C port; only hybrid dual-SIM; App2SD not possible; bloated firmware; not every game runs fluidly

Recently Huawei launched this year's "P" model, the high-end P10 with its Leica-branded dual cameras and a sleek metal design. However, as a high-end phone it will be outside the budget of some consumers. Therefore Huawei has also launched a cheaper version of the P10 called the P10 lite.

The P10 may just be my favourite phone that Huawei has ever made.

Despite some criticisms, the P10's lovely design and brilliant camera make it a very compelling choice -- as long as you can stomach the cost.

The compact Huawei P10 is comfortable to hold and looks great; Its camera is awesome and it has oodles of power.

It's expensive; the touch-sensitive navigation key is awkward to use and it's not waterproof.

High-end craftsmanship The design quality of the Huawei P10 Lite really is at the highest level. The diamond cut metal frame is sided on the front and back by smooth 2.5D curved glass. The glass has a 7H hardness and this is equivalent to the hardness of quartz.

I got positively surprised by software on this phone. It seems quite widely thought through, with just few details I would consider strangely implemented, like data counter not allowing to define start of time period.

Everything works fine on this phone. It's Android 7, and I just feel like they've really worked out all the little dislikes. The MicroSD card is useful for storing applications and integrated pretyy painlessly as a default storage area.

This phone has a serious Bluetooth flaw, streaming music from it sounds awful. I tried different apps (Deezer, Spotify) and different speakers, always with the same results - overcompressed crackling sound.

We rated last year's Huawei P9 Lite as one of the best phones you could buy for under ￡300. Guess what? The new P10 Lite is even better.

I do a lot of research on phones, I have an S6 edge, S7 edge, Iphone 6 in the house, this phone is honestly a pleasant surprise, screen is great, battery life lasts me 2 days although I am a light user, fingerprint scanner is super quick, I honestly have no complaints about this phone for the low...
