With the warm reception of the Huawei P9 in 2016, Huawei didn’t stop for a break and launched the successor to it at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain. The P10 and P10 Plus made a grand entrance with its sleek design and a variety of colors to choose from.
The 5.1-inch P10 comes with a 1080p display and is powered by Huawei’s Kirin 960 processor. Speed meets style as the built-in Ultra Memory technology intelligently allocates resources for a faster and smoother Android experience, running Huawei’s EMUI 5.1. The bigger brother, the P10 Plus, comes in at 5.5 inches and runs with a 1440p display. The regular P10 is armed with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage, while its bigger brother boasts a beefier 6GB of RAM 128GB of internal storage variant.
Both have microSD expansion slots, so you virtually won’t run out of space. As for juice, the P10 is powered by a 3,200mAh battery and 3,750mAh for the P10 Plus. The P10 and P10 Plus supports Huawei’s SuperCharge technology which is backed by 5-gate protection for safer and faster charging. Spend more time using your phone, than it being plugged into a wall.
Change the way you capture portraits
Huawei, in collaboration with Leica, aims to redefine portrait photography with both of the phones sporting a Leica Dual Camera 2.0 with two SUMMARIT-H lenses with an F2.2 aperture on the P10, and a whopping F1.8 on the P10 Plus. With an even faster focus with its 4-in-1 hybrid auto-focus, you’ll never miss another shot of your toddler or your sporting event.
Your shots are made even better when paired with its Optical Image Stabilization for even less motion blur. The dual camera functions in symphony as the 20-megapixel sensor captures more light and greater detail, it being a monochromatic sensor, and the 12-megapixel sensor fills in the colors, allowing for more depth and detail with mobile photography.
Machine learning, faster software
The P10 and P10 Plus look beautiful on the outside, but it’s what’s on the inside that matters most when using a phone. Huawei implemented a machine-learning software that intelligently tracks which apps you use or don’t use frequently, optimizing the former for faster launches. Huawei promised a 20 percent speed increase to frequently-used apps.
Huawei Watch 2: An Android watch to watch for
Huawei also presented the new batch of its line of smartwatches. The Huawei Watch 2 and Watch 2 Classic will be running Google’s latest OS, Android Wear 2.0, and will be available in the US in April.
Huawei designed the Watch 2 for people who want to disconnect with their phone for a while, without losing connectivity to the digital world. The standalone 4G connectivity lets you leave your phone at home, while you do your workout and stay connected. The stylish ceramic bezel finishes the touch on the Watch 2’s classic exterior. The swappable bands make it easier to fit any style on any occasion with the wearer’s comfort in mind.
The Watch 2 makes for a perfect workout companion as it can monitor your heart rate, guide you with GPS, and provide you with a real-time fitness coach. Record your workout without your phone with its 4G connectivity, supporting either a SIM or an eSIM card. The integrated antenna design also makes it a perfect assistant that can receive messages and take calls. Android Wear 2.0 also enables the Watch 2 to access a variety of apps.
The Watch 2 Classic has basically the same specs as the Watch 2 with 1.2-inch full circle display, Snapdragon Wear 2100 processor, IP68 rating, and 420mAh battery. But the Classic will not have LTE connectivity. And it comes with a hybrid strap of sorts with one side being leather and the other rubbery. Its looks less sporty than the Watch 2 and has a more traditional looking design reminiscent of LG’s last batch of smartwatches. Looking at your wrist has never been this productive.
