Great phone to have.... Long battery life. The box also has a clear case and screen protector is already on the phone. Nice finishing. For people with smaller hands, might be better to choose Mate 10 Pro.

The Huawei Mate 10, while impressive, isn't quite as exciting as the sleek Huawei Mate 10 Pro . This isn't exactly a bad thing, of course: both devices are catered to different consumers, and the Mate 10 continues to emphasise on the strengths of Huawei's Mate series.

Last year, at the end of fall, the Chinese electronics manufacturer Huawei presented a new flagship among the tablets called Huawei Mate 9. The smartphone received top-end hardware, two cameras on the rear panel, a lot of memory and a powerful battery.

Huawei's latest flagship devices, the Mate 10 and Mate 10 Pro , has landed in the Philippines and they're bringing a different perspective on how a flagship smartphone should be.

* Impressive performance; * Gorgeous 2k display; * Great design and build quality; * Impressive camera; especially in low-light; * Long battery life; * IR Blaster; * Android Oreo right out of the box

* No IP67 water resistance; * No wireless charging

Love the phone, fantastic camera and so fast. The only complaint I have is I wish I bought it sooner!

There’s a lot to like about the Mate 10 - but it doesn’t really do enough to justify its existence, when the Mate 10 Pro is the superior phone in almost every way. The Pro has a bigger OLED screen, and underneath, the specs are almost identical. OK, the Mate 10 might find room for a microSD card, but the Pro has more storage to begin with. Beyond a lower price, the Mate 10’s only real advantage is its 3.5mm headphone socket. In the end, though, none of that matters unless you live in a place where both phones are on sale. Here in the UK, we only get the Mate 10 Pro. And a fine phone it is too. The Mate 10 is a curiosity, then. It’s sort of a middle ground between last year’s flagships and 2017’s skinnier, screen-ier smartphones, with no real drawbacks - other than the fact its bigger brother does things ever-so-slightly better.

Modern design with familiar screen size; Brilliant battery life; Plenty of power;

Camera can’t keep up with the Pixel 2; EMUI still has quirks; Mate 10 Pro actually available here in the UK;

It's hard out here for Huawei. The Chinese company is responsible for many great phones, but it's rarely given its due credit. Whether or not the Mate 10 changes this can't be predicted, but Huawei has done its part: The Mate 10 is a standout phone, one that's several hundred dollars cheaper than competition from Samsung, Google and Apple -- and even shaves down the price of Huawei's own superpowered Mate 10 Pro .

The Huawei Mate 10 may be hard for you to get your hands on, but it’s worth the effort if you want a big-screen phone and don’t quite have the budget for a Galaxy Note, iPhone Plus or Pixel 2.

Huawei’s Mate 10 gives you performance and cameras comparable to Samsung’s Galaxy Note 8 and Google’s Pixel XL 2, but for several hundred bucks less. It also has a headphone jack.

The phone’s battery doesn’t last as long as the Mate 10 Pro despite being the same size. Huawei’s Android software could be smoother and the phone isn’t getting an official release in the US or UK.
