The P10 Plus is two steps forward and one step back for Huawei, it must be said. You've got a phone that delivers flagship-level camera quality, brisk performance and sturdy build quality.

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.

Good things come in small packages. So do better things come in larger ones?

Most mature software offering to date; excellent battery life; interesting colour choices in a great-looking and slender design; microSD card expansion or dual SIM; smooth operation and ample or power on tap

Screen has fingerprint/smear issues; default Themes still look jarring; camera bokeh effect can be overkill; fingerprint gesture control not consistent; gaming fluidity can take a moment to get into gear

When comparing the specs of the Huawei P10 and P10 Plus, it seems that the P10 Plus is a winner with an improved camera setup, more RAM, more storage and a higher quality display, especially when you consider the minimal jump in price from the P10 to the P10 Plus.

Feature-dense camera; Smooth performance; Fast charge

The P10 Plus is Huawei's best phone ever, and a rival for the iPhone 7+ and Galaxy S8. It's superfast, ultraslim, has a top camera, massive amounts of memory, and good battery life. But the Chinese brand has overreached when it comes to pricing, and misses out on a 5-star review for that reason.

As with the 5.1-inch Huawei's P10 , there is not much to criticize in the larger 5.5-inch Huawei P10 Plus. The P10 Plus also comes with abundant high-end components - starting with the impeccably built casing over the UFS 2.1 storage and LTE Cat.12 up to the fast HiSilicon Kirin 960 SoC.

elegant design; high-quality casing; very fast SoC; 128 GB UFS 2.1 storage; expandable storage; 6 GB RAM; very good Leica dual camera; very bright WQHD screen; long battery life; good stereo speakers; quick charge via SuperCharge; up to 3 year warranty

storage is a game of chance; firmware reserves a lot of storage; no App2SD; slow Wi-Fi; moderate micro-SD transfer rates; throttling during load
