For quite some time now, Huawei’ sub-brand Honor has been teasing the launch of its latest affordable flagship smartphone and successor to last year Honor V9, the Honor V10. The smartphone retains the gorgeous design from its predecessor and comes with the Huawei Mate 10’s internals. The device, for now, will be available only in China, but Honor has scheduled a launch event in the US on December 5, and yesterday, a rumour suggested that the brand will launch the V10 in India in January 2018.

Like the Huawei Mate 10 series, the Honor V10 also comes with special Artificial Intelligence features, thanks to the Huawei’s in-house HiSilicon Kirin 970 SoC. Talking about the specifications of the Honor V10, it flaunts a 5.99-inch Full HD+ 18:9 FullView display with a resolution of 2160 x 1080 pixels.
At the heart of the phone, the Honor V10 has the Kirin 970 SoC, which is an octa-core chipset built on top of the 10nm manufacturing process. Also, the Kirin 970 SoC has special neural network processing engine for AI. The chipset is mated with 6GB of RAM. There’s a smaller 4GB of RAM variant as well.
Thankfully, the Honor V10 runs Android 8.0 Oreo out of the box, but it comes with Huawei’s EMUI 8 skin on top. Optics in the V10 include two sensors at the back- a primary 16MP RGB sensor and a 20MP secondary monochrome sensor. The device also offers a Portrait mode, and a 13MP sensor is present on the front of the phone.
