Huawei has pinned its hopes on the Mate 10 Pro as its flagship phone for the year. It was designed to be just as good as the Galaxy Note 8 ( $921.08 at Amazon.com ) . And with its huge display, powerful processor and cool camera, it gets pretty close.

The Mate 10 Pro is sleek and solid, very powerful and takes great photos in both colour and black and white; It's also water-resistant and battery life is superb

You can't expand the storage and there's no headphone jack; Its software extras are gimmicky

Earlier this year, a groundbreaking new smartphone was announced. One that promised to combine an industry-leading camera, glossy design and artificial intelligence tech to change the way you interact with your smartphone in a real, meaningful way and help a global tech brand crack-and-tap the...

Outstanding battery life; Exceptional camera

Pretty conventional flagship form-factor; Lacks wireless charging

The device is impressive as soon as you take it out of the box and hold it in your hand. It has a head-turning design glossy curved back panel which merges seamlessly to the edges. There are two Leica lenses and a flash on the rear along with a fingerprint reader/home button directly underneath.

The Huawei Honor 10 is a speedy Android phone with a notch. Check out our review.

While it doesn't have all the Galaxy Note 8's features, the Mate 10 Pro earns its place in the high-end big-screen pack.

From a superb camera to cutting-edge AI smarts, the Huawei Mate 10 Pro stylishly gets almost everything right.

Incredibly versatile dual-lens Leica camera; Beautiful OLED screen with minimal bezels; Two-day battery life; Stylish; water-resistant body; NPU shows promise

No headphone jack; EMUI design falls behind competition; Expensive

Is there enough room for yet another full-screen phone? That's the question Huawei hopes to answer with the Mate 10 Pro, the company's latest phablet, which leverages artificial intelligence in ways no one has done before.

Class-leading battery life; Camera detects objects in real-time; Stunning Portrait mode; Strong performance; Handy software features; Minimal bezels

No wireless-charging support; Frustrating user interface

The Mate 10 Pro is a fantastic phone, as long as you can overlook its non-pro parts.

Incredible fast chip with a built-in neural processing unit; Battery life is the best I've seen on an Android phone; EMUI 8.0 makes the leap to...

1080p display has a lower resolution than last year's Mate Pro; No headphone jack or expandable storage

A review of the Mate 10 Pro, Huawei's flagship Android phone for 2017 with a 6in OLED screen and the new Kirin 970 processor.

Another in the range of reviews of the latest mobile phones courtesy of Vodafone whose network coverage is -in my tests anyway - superior to that offered by other mobile phone companies. Huawei are the new kids on the block making others sit up and work harder to catch up.

The Mate 10 Pro is a bit of a dark horse in the smartphone sector, and is one of the better phones that most people won't have easy access to. We say that because Huawei faces an uphill battle in the US market.

Premium design is as good as any other Android flagship; Lots of RAM (6GB) and onboard storage (128GB; Brg and bright display; Stellar camera performance; Long battery life

No expandable storage; EMUI skin won't appeal to users looking for a purer Android experience; Auto camera controls could be simplified; Not offered by any major wireless carriers in the US
