Honor 10 Makes Huawei's AI Camera Affordable for the Masses

Huawei subsidiary Honor only announced the Honor 10, a midrange Android phone with the same algorithm-powered scene recognition y'all get in phones like the Mate 10 Pro and P20.

Like the Honor 9 before it, the Honour x features a dual-lens camera (24+16 megapixels), fast charging (5V/4.5A) which promises to fill 50 percent of the 3,400mAh cell in effectually 25 minutes, and a sheer metallic coating, created by multiple layers of paint and glass, which give information technology a lenticular wait.

Award CEO George Zhao says the iridescent paint job (sound familiar?) means that no two Honor 10s will await alike, meaning whether you go for the green, blue, silver, or black versions, each one will characteristic a slightly unlike coloring.

The telephone copies the algorithm-assisted camera features of the Mate ten and P20 ranges, which ways information technology'll automatically detect sure photo subjects—similar flowers, cats, meals, friends, and sunsets—and suit the camera settings accordingly, so you won't accept tweak shutter speeds, exposure, white balance and things that shutterbugs really similar playing with.

The Honor 10 tin can apparently recognize over 500 scenarios and upward to 22 subjects in the frame at any one time; how this differs from the auto scene recognition features of the Mate 10 and P20 ranges remains to exist seen.

Like the Mate 10 and P20 ranges, the Kirin 970 octa-core CPU runs the show, with its detached NPU (neural processing unit) giving an active boost to retentivity management and cardinal apps similar Prisma.

Again, similar Huawei's contempo flagships, EMUI eight.one is present, meaning you get a nifty, pared-down Android feel, that's probably nigh as close as you tin get to Android One without information technology existence Android One. It's basically a cheaper Huawei P20 without the Leica branding.

Prices for the Laurels ten have withal to be announced for the Usa—and the jury's even so out equally to whether it'll really hit shelves over here, thanks to the odd position Huawei has found itself in with the FCC and the The states government. Though if absolution for ZTE is in the cards, this may diviner well for other Chinese telcos, besides.

The 64GB version, which looks to be headed to mainland Europe only, should cost around €399.99 unlocked, while the 128GB edition will cost roughly €499.99 or £399.99 in the Britain.

Those prices convert to around $475 and $590 based on the current rates, plus whatever you'd have to pay in import fees.
