It's not often a phone is revealed in a green colour finish. Or "greenery" to give it full credit. Which, as it so happens, is Pantone's colour of the year 2017. It's also Huawei 's oh-so-on-trend colour for its brand new P10 smartphone.

More mature software from Huawei; slender and refined design; battery life is decent from a palm-sized phone; dual camera solution is fun; microSD card expansion or dual SIM; smooth operation and oodles of power on tap

Smeary fingerprints are a problem for the screen; default Themes still look jarring; P10 Plus a more appealing prospect (albeit larger device); camera bokeh effect can be overkill; moving fingerprint scanner to front was a bold move

After over four months with the Huawei P10, I can confirm the phone has aged very well. The 3200mAh battery hasn't seriously deteriorated and continues to easily last a full day with average use. The Kirin 960 CPU has also worn well and I still don't have any issues with the P10's performance.

Solid design; Expandable storage is a bonus; All day battery life; Decent performance

Emotion UI adds way too many duplicate apps; Camera's aperture is too low; Not the best-value phone around

While the Huawei P9 is a great smartphone, it can't quite compete with its successor, the P10. The P10 features faster internals, a bigger base storage, improved cameras and a range of new colour options – what's not to like?

Looking and feeling almost identical to an iPhone, the P10 is basically the Huawei P9 with some smart updates thanks to some nifty new features. Want to know how they translate in the real world? We got a close-up look at the device on the MWC show floor.

Well, we got a close-up look at the device on the MWC show floor. feels about the same in your hands as the P9 did; a well-constructed, pretty slab of metal that desperately wishes it was an...

The Huawei P10 has everything required to be a great smartphone, but does it have the necessary elements to make it the best Android flagship of 2017? This is something I've been contemplating for the past few days, while testing out the Chinese manufacturer's latest offering.

Solidly built; Fast processing and multitasking; Great camera

Battery life a little erratic

Huawei again presents a superb product that does not need to accept much criticism with its P10 lifestyle smartphone. The actual high-end product in the lineup is the P10 Plus edition.

classy design and high-quality materials, lightning-fast SoC, generous UFS 2.1 storage, fast LTE Cat; 12 with broad frequency coverage, good camera with hybrid zoom, decent battery life, expandable storage, decent speaker, up to three-year warranty, SuperCharge, good screen that..

...unfortunately has a resolution of just 1080p; worse screen-body ratio; inflated firmware; slow ac Wi-Fi; sluggish micro-SD slot; no MHL or SlimPort; throttling during load

The P10 may just be my favourite phone that Huawei has ever made. It's the design that really struck a chord for me, an all-metal body that mixes highly polished edges with an attractive micro-etched finish on the back.

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

Very fast delivery. Came with an adaptor because they knew I'm going to use it in the US. Also the screen is already protected and has a transparent case. Great deal !

Huawei is not afraid to aim high. The Chinese manufacturer came to the western market in relative obscurity just a few years ago, and is now the world's third biggest phone manufacturer. Within five years, it says, it wants to be the first.

Premium build; Innovative camera format; Fast performance; Great pictures in good light

Screen tends to be oversharp; Music lacks bite; Low-light photography could be better; Heavy-handed UI
