Huawei is one of the fastest-growing phone makers in the world, with a range of premium devices to suit even the most demanding of users. So if you are in the market for a new premium handset then Huawei’s latest offering, the Mate 10 Pro more than merits a look!

Offering amazing all day battery life, stunning style and unbelievable power and performance, the Mate 10 Pro combines an exquisite glass-and-metal design, a nearly bezel-less display, a top-notch camera and the world's first AI-focused processor into one very compelling handset. Below are just some of the great reasons why you might want to consider making an upgrade to the Mate 10 Pro this year…

All day battery life

Battery life you can rely on

While stunning looks, a powerful chipset and a great camera make for an impressive device to tell your friends about, when it comes to showing it to them, you really need battery performance that won’t let you down. Thankfully with a massive 4,000 mAh battery, the Mate 10 Pro has more than enough power onboard to impress your friends.
And when the time does come to top up the battery, Huawei’s own SuperCharge technology (which is the first fast charging technology to be certified by TÜV Rheinland, a global leader in independent product inspection services) can take your Mate 10 Pro from 0-58% charge in just 30 minutes. All of which means that in just half an hour you will have more than enough in the tank to last you through the day.

For long days out with the family or a busy day of back-to-back meetings, EMUI 8.0 on the Mate 10 Pro has you covered. Offering two power saving modes that enable you to get the most out of every drop of power, EMUI 8.0 helps you get through a full day of heavy usage. And to ensure you know which apps are hogging the battery the most, EMUI will also provide notifications about which ones could be closed, further aiding you in getting through the day on a single charge.

Furthermore, the Mate 10 Pro is also able to provide power management with a personalized approach thanks to the NPU inside the Kirin 970. Over time the Kirin chipset learns what sort of user you are and optimizes settings and power allocation. For instance, if you are a gamer, the Mate 10 Pro will adjust settings such as the speaker volume level and screen brightness to ensure a great user experience while still maximizing battery life. By utilizing the power of its huge 4,000 mAh battery and AI intelligence, the Mate 10 Pro is more than capable of keeping you going!

The AI powered camera

AI powered dual-camera system that understands what it is looking at


With the Kirin 970 on board, the Huawei Mate 10 Pro has a camera that actually understands what it is looking to capture better photos. With its AI capabilities, the camera can recognize what type of scene you are taking a picture of and adjusts settings accordingly to achieve the best result. These adjustments have been carefully developed, and are accurate enough to tell the difference between your pet dog and cat. This works in tandem with a new 4-in-1 auto-focusing system that uses laser focus, phase detection, depth and contrast focus for zero-lag photo capture.

The camera also features one of the widest apertures ever seen on a smartphone. At f/1.6, the camera can capture more light and create an impressive depth of field 'bokeh' effect in pictures. The main rear camera works in tandem with a secondary monochrome sensor to deliver stunning images that are great for sharing with friends via social media. What’s more, you can even use the dedicated monochrome camera to take super stylish black and white images that pack in high levels of detail and sharpness, providing a unique look to your pictures.

In addition to that, the chip is the first to come with a dedicated Neural Network Processing Unit, or NPU, making it the first AI mobile computing platform, capable of handling AI tasks in a fraction of the time that other mobile chipsets take.

As well as packing eight cores into its CPU, the Kirin 970 also offers something special for gamers. It’s the first chipset to include the new Mali-G72 graphics processor, which means it packs 12 powerful cores in its GPU to handle even the most demanding of mobile gaming scenarios.
