Huawei P10 vs Apple iPhone 7 vs Samsung Galaxy S7: specs comparison

3comments

The brand new Huawei P10 is out of the bag, and it's a meticulously designed phone with a brand new diamond-cut finish. But how does the Huawei P10 stand up against the big rivals like the Apple iPhone 7 and the Samsung Galaxy S7 in a good old specs battle?

The Huawei P10 features Huawei's in-house Kirin 960 system chip, the latest generation of the company's silicon that has four powerful Cortex A57 processor cores that take care of more intense applications, and four power-efficient A53 processor cores used for daily tasks.

Unlike the iPhone 7 and Galaxy S7, the P10 also features 64GB of storage even in its base model. This is twice the storage allotment on Galaxies and iPhones, and in addition to that, the Huawei P10 also supports expandable storage via a microSD card slot.

For this and all the other specs differences, feel free to check out our detailed Huawei P10 vs Apple iPhone 7 vs Samsung Galaxy S7 specs comparison.
