As far as the bezels are concerned, the P10 has very thin bezels on the sides. The top and the bottom bezels are quite big, though, compared to some other smartphones launched recently.

Hardware

The Huawei P10 features the company’s own HiSilicon Kirin 960 SoC. It comes with an octa-core processor with four 2.4 GHz Cortex-A73 cores and four 1.8 GHz Cortex-A53 cores, featuring a big.LITTLE setup. The graphics are handled by Mali-G71 MP8 GPU.

In terms of memory, the P10 comes with 4GB RAM and 64GB internal storage, expandable with a microSD card up to 256GB.

Camera Overview

Huawei P10

The major attraction of the Huawei P10 is its camera. Or rather, cameras. On the rear, you will find a dual camera setup featuring Leica optics. Huawei has included a primary 12 MP colour camera and a 20 MP secondary Black and White camera. While the 12 MP main camera sensor takes a color picture, images captured by the 20 MP sensor are used for depth of field details. The camera software then combines the two images to form a single image.

Price and Availability

Huawei has priced the P10 at 649 Euros (Rs. 45,500 approx). The device will be available in Graphite Black, Ceramic White, Dazzling Blue, Dazzling Gold, Mystic Silver, Rose Gold and Greenery color options. Talking of availability, the smartphone will go on sale from next month itself in some selected countries.

Conclusion

The Huawei P10 with its dual camera setup is a very good option for people who are concerned more about the image quality. It also looks quite premium. The processor along with the 4GB RAM should help the device to work smoothly enough. It comes with Android 7.0 Nougat and a full HD display.
