Smartphone quasi perfetto

Ottimo smartphone, fluidità pazzesca, Gaming perfetto, fotocamera ottimo (pecca solo negli scatti notturni e un po nei selfie dove non riesco mai a stabilizzare e vengono foto in po mosse, sblocco con il sorriso quasi istantaneo, caricatore da 4,5 A che mi ha davvero stupito, Amazon impeccabile sulla spedizione, arrivato 3 giorni prima del previsto, nella confezione non sono incluse le cuffie ma c'è una pellicola in plastica già applicata allo schermo e una cover trasparente in silicone, non metto 5 stelle per 2 motivi: il caricatore è arrivato con presa inglese quindi ho dovuto acquistare un adattore e lo sblocco con l'impronta non è il massimo, sblocca 6/7 volte su 10
Aggiorno: con l'aggiornamento ad Android 9.0 lo sblocco con l'impronta è diventato molto più efficace e veloce ma non perfetto, rimane comunque un ottimo acquisto che rifarei ad occhi chiusi

Absolutely fabulous - 6 out of 5 !

Now had this phone for coming up to 3 years. Still would not replace it. Original write up: I'm quite discerning when it comes to phones and for that reason have never been an iPhone fan, as I consider them overpriced and poor on value for that overprice. I have in the past favoured HTC handsets in particular. About a year ago a bought a Huawei 10" tablet which was great value and a lovely device giving many features as well as speed and performance. On the strength of that and in spite of Trump's unjustifiable mindless actions against Huawei and China, I bought this Huawei / Honor 10 as the features and price made it an attractive proposition. I have only had it a few days but can tell you this is indeed a beautiful and fabulous device stuffed full with features, excellent screen resolution, good sound and an amazing AI camera that offers excellent results even in poor light. Colour definition and depth are what I would expect from a phone costing twice as much and more. Even unadvertised features such as Mirrorcast are included so I can (at no cost) project what is on my phone screen directly onto my TV (which supports 'cast'. If not you can get a dongle from Amazon for about £20 which using this feature turns your TV into a smart TV!) - Yes it does! Huge storage of 128gb is enough for my stuff with over 1,200 pictures and 700 music vids, etc and still not used 1/3rd ! The Honor 10 comes with Huawei App store as well as Google Playstore which is a bonus. Facial and Fingerprint recognition are both on board and work well. The phone size is just right - not too big or small. The processing speed is very fast and games are colour rich, sharp and don't lag. Do check this out and read all the specs as I promise you will not be disappointed. I am a firm believer in Chinese quality, having a number of elec items including a great electric shaver too. Easiest 5 stars ever. No, I'm not getting paid for this(!) it's just that Huawei deserve the credit for offering such a great phone at such a reasonable price. A month later - love this phone.

i hate technology

I'm impressed

Having had this phone for a couple months now, It's time for a review.
Camera is OK, Not great, It oversharpens everything.
The AI is a gimmick and doesn't really do much apart from oversaturate everything, It does however make night shots look better.
As a power user, The battery life is decent, I bought a power bank anyway.
Fast charging is very fast indeed, It's a nice addition to such a well priced phone.
Screen is good, The aspect ratio is good for watching Netflix wide-screen 21:9 content but 16:9 YouTube content doesn't look out of place.
The mobile network speeds are good, I'm not sure if that's my carrier or the phone but it's a fairly solid connection.
As for gaming, I haven't done much (as a PC based gamer mostly) but I tested a couple for the propose of this review and I see no problems.
For those that like to plug USB stuff into their phones, OTG works fine, SD card reader works, Charging other devices also.
The back glass looks AMAZING, I love it, Really good job on that Huawei, It's way better than a case. (Oh yeah did I mention that one is included for free? Along with a screen protector (albeit a plastic one)
Anyway I recommend it as a tech enthusiast, It's well worth the money and IMO better than Oneplus for actually hitting that £350 price point that the 3 and 3T used to cover.
(And it still has a headphone jack!)

Great phone so far

I researched a lot for a new phone. I'm only giving up my old Oneplus X due to its paltry 16 Gigs of storage, other than that it has been a brilliant phone. But I have no brand loyalty to anything these days, I go for the best in my budget.
My first choice was to be the Moto G6+ but the reviews were inconsistent so I went for the Honor 10 which has had universally great reviews.
I'm impressed.
Its great looking, I mean really great looking.
Screen clear and lively colours.
Fast and fluid. Ive had no issues so far.
Large 128 gig memory, which is great as no expandable storage.
A bit of bloatware, but thats been removed.
Ive been used to almost stock Android with my last few phones, so this Honor overlay is a bit annoying but there are some good additions too.
Charges very quickly
But also not the greatest battery life, but not terrible. Im hoping Honor might sort this with an update.
The camera seems really good, lots and lots of settings and options. Haven't really tried too much yet.

( I purchased on 1 June and I got the free headphones, i think people forgot to add them to their order to get them free, anyway they're really great headphones)

Ive had the phone less than a week and I do like it a lot. I will give it a two more weeks and then come back and review this review.

Great phone for the money

Upgraded from a Honor 8 and really pleased.

The battery super charge means you can fully charge a battery in no time. I only found this out when I used the new charger as I'd just kept using my old Honor 8 charger!

The Huawei phone manager software really helps to control background apps and save on battery life, you've got in built anti virus and a great call blocker manager too.

Lightweight and decent quality screen too.

Face recognition is a good feature, but finger print is a little bit tetchy at times though. The bigger sensor on the back of the Honor 8 was much more reliable.

Battery life is really good, only been caught short of power on days when I'm pretty much on it all the time playing games! Like I said though the supercharge is enough to get you back on your feet after only 10 mins or so.

Overall, very happy.

Great phone. Fantastic camera!

So my iPhone 5S came to the end of its life. But now i wanted more. A much bigger screen. More battery life. A good camera. I wanted an iPhone 8 or X. However, im a realist. I buy my handsets out right and just couldn't justify the cost.

So i cast around for an alternative and up popped the Honor 10.

I have had it just about a month and was very worried id not like an Android phone. How wrong could I be.
My Honor 10 runs like a dream. It is quick, runs games with ease and the processor runs anything i throw at it. (This weekend i was gaming PUBG on it whilst using its mobile hot-spot to tether an ipad and a kindle fire to play on the same game.)
And as for the camera. I take photos as a hobby and i am blown away by the quality, and i do mean quality of the cameras images.

All in all an incredible package and well worth the money.

A quality device with some livable short comings

This is interesting, I purchased a Honor Play for my sister and loved it, it felt extremely responsive and everything ticked along nicely. This gave me confidence to take the plunge and swap from my OnePlus 6 for the top of the range Honor 10.

The handset is slightly smaller but much lighter in the hand than my OnePlus 6 and therefore has a more comfortable weight about it. The overall feel of the phone is fingerprint magnet, the Honor Play is metal, lovely and very classy. The Honor 10 is glass front and back and while lovely to look at needs to be slipped into the clear case before the look is ruined.

What made me pickup the Honor 10 was the camera experience of the Honor Play, all the pictures looked great because the phone uses an AI calculation to work out what you're trying to take a picture of and does some techno wizardry. This works on pretty much every picture when in the AI setting is enabled (default camera setting), is worth noting that these pictures come out with detail, effects and colours tweaked. Attached are two pictures taken out of the window, one from a OnePlus 6 has more natural muted colours and the other the Honor 10 seems to have bright contrasts. Because of this I believe the Honor 10 camera is for the Instagram and social crowd because of these enhancements.

I can't stress how much I enjoy the size of the device, it makes swiping, texting and general typing far easier and quicker. I'm not overly keen on the SwiftKey keyboard, but I've installed the native Google keyboard which seems fair more predictable and better spacing.

Battery life seems to be similar to the OnePlus 6 and other flag ship phones and certainly gets through a day of use, the Honor Play lasts far longer though, but I think the trade off is good, a lighter handset and smaller battery is a win win.

The display is bright, vivid even (this can be changed in the settings) and it's worth doing. The colours in vivid are just too unnatural and with the AI mode active means pictures are harder to guage colour wise. The screen does have a notch, it's not large like the iPhone X, XS or XR and is far more subtle in its implementation giving you far more space at the top of the screen. As icons are smaller you get far more in the notch space compared to the OnePlus 6 which is extremely handy for tracking.

I have noticed that sometimes the screen doesn't feel as responsive, it's hard to explain but it feels like I'm having to do more frequent tapping. I never noticed this problem on the Honor Play, which is suppose to be near identical but with different camera and display sizes.

One other big difference between the Honor Play and the Honor 10 is that the Honor Play supports Glove mode it changes the screen by working on pressure input so you can leave your hands safely covered in the cold weather... This is completely missing on the Honor 10 which is disappointing especially as the Honor 10 is suppose to be the flagship for the Honor brand.

Some other things to note, the phone has facial unlock, fingerprint and 6 digit PIN for unlocking, facial unlock seems to work well in most lighting conditions, the fingerprint reader is also extremely fast and seems to work well even with wet hands.

Getting use to the Honor is simple for those switching from an Apple devices, EMU uses a very similar structure which can be changed in the settings to a more native Android feeling but it still doesn't feel right. Going the native route does seem to have a performance benefit. It does take some adjustment if you're new to the Huawei or Honor brands. They also have an easy layout for a more simplified interface which is actually impressive for more elderly users it's disappointing that this is hidden in the settings but really helps without those who need it.

Right, now onto the issues...

I don't think this is phone related but more the EMU interface which Huawei/Honor install... Lots of software is preinstalled, some can be deleted, but most is not even worth using, it's disappointing as it feels like the software is a mixed bag; Microsoft Translate... When you can just install Google translate. It continues with music, calendar, mail, clock etc...

Overall it's an impressive device, is it as good as the OnePlus 6 maybe but it's the current price, design and image quality which is something to challenge other competitive devices. This is what is remarkable.

Overall the negatives can be lived with and I don't think they detract from the overall package of the phone.

Exceptional Handset

I had the Honor 9, but at a flash price of £219.99, I couldn't resist.
Again, similar to its predecessor, this really is an incredible phone with an absolutely stunning dual lens camera.

Fingerprint sensor - quick but a little bit awkward with the installed screen protector. Remove if you wish.

Facial recognition - barely use but when I need to it's faultless.

Camera - has an excellent feature called "AI" which automatically chooses the best shooting mode to suit the scene. See my two recently taken photos to show how well it works in night mode and portrait mode. It's absolutely stunning. A bit like me.

Battery - lasts well over a day. All that's needed really.

Selfie Camera - better than your average at 16MP.

Colours - I have purple, wife has this same phone in green. Arguably the purple is slightly better looking but it's personal preference.

EMUI - slick as ever. The phone has never hanged or crashed.

I can't fault the phone.
Why people still pay £400 or £500 more for an iPhone or Samsung is truly baffling.

Regards,
James.
