Huawei has a solid reputation as a smartphone maker, and while the company used to lack the profile to make it a truly leading player, that time has passed. These days Huawei's name is well known, and the launch of the P10 and the larger P10 Plus at this year's Mobile World Congress grabbed the...

Solidly built; Plenty of RAM and MicroSD-expandable storage; Excellent dual rear camera system; Clever gesture controls; Great battery life

Screen is a fingerprint magnet; Moderate sound quality; No IP rating for water/dust resistance; No wireless charging support

With show-stealing looks and imaging prowess, the Huawei P10 Plus was one of the headliners at the MWC- it had good backing on the inside (by a little less special sibling) and not too heavy of a challenge from the outside.

Despite a few flaws, we're big fans of the power-packed and fun P10 Plus. It offers much more than the standard P10 and is a serious competitor to the iPhone 7 Plus. The design is pretty special, the camera superb and the pricing competitive for the amount of storage.

Quick; feature-packed cameras; 128GB of storage as standard; Fast fingerprint reader; We like the navigation key

Software still lags behind; No HDR display; Not waterproof or dustproof; Pre-installed apps need slimming down

Huawei was one of the main attractions at MWC and its new flagship P10 phones for 2017 are solid options for a new handset. Once again, the phones feature dual-Leica cameras but there're only a handful of reasons to but the P10 Plus over the regular model and there's tough competition from the likes...

With dual lenses and a heap of features, Huawei's P10 is the photographer's phone

Astonishing camera; Great battery life; Ever-improving software; Wide color choice

Not officially sold in the U.S; No oleophobic coating on screen

One phone, three finishes It is unusual to get a choice of finishes but the Huawei P10 Plus offers this. You can opt for a hyper diamond-cut finish that adds colour, brightness and strength or you can opt for a high gloss or sandblast finish, all of which are distinctly different from each other.

The Huawei P10 is a big improvement on the P9 in almost every area – except the camera, which has remained the same; this is no bad thing when it was already pretty good in bright conditions.

Brilliant, versatile camera; Plenty of power for apps and games; Clever, space-saving controls;

Design isn’t truly distinctive; Battery life is about average; EMUI is a bit marmite;

The P10 Plus is Huawei's best phone yet. It takes the decent P10 and improves it in a variety of ways. Its Leica camera is excellent in both light and dark scenarios, battery life is impressive and it comes with a generous amount of storage.

Much improved software; Great; versatile camera; Thin; well built body; Very fast

No oleophobic coating makes the screen a smudge magnet; Poor standby times

There's a lot to like about the Huawei P10 Plus, but like is as far as we're going to get with this phone. The dual camera is great, but so is the LG G6 's. The screen is beautiful, but Samsung's are better.

Dual Leica cameras are fun; Beautiful; bright QHD screen; Ninety billion color options

Overpriced and outclassed; Navigation key is badly designed; Not available in the US
