Great screen ; Pretty design ; Powerful performance ; Above average camera

EMUI software is still full of bloatware

The Huawei Mate 10 Pro offers buyers fantastic hardware and OK software.

Excellent design ; Great enthusiast camera ; Class-leading battery

No headphone jack ; No wireless charging ; EMUI not for everyone

Not only is the Huawei Mate 10 Pro the most impressive device we’ve seen from Huawei to date, it’s also one of the most impressive flagships currently on the market, undercutting the competition while offering more in some key areas.

Smart, slim, lightweight design ; Thorough spec sheet ; Smooth, detailed video ; Hi-res audio and HDR support

Music lacks excitement ; Colours a touch dull ; Strong competition ; No 3.5mm headphone connection

The sound quality can’t match the best, but this feature-packed flagship phone is otherwise more than satisfactory

Great battery life ; Useful features ; Excellent screen

EMUI is still the worst Android skin

Possibly the best-looking flagship phone right now ; Plenty of power and smooth operation ; EMUI 8.0 software is about as close to Android Oreo as could be ; Decent dual camera arrangement ; Long-lasting battery life ; Sumptuous 18:9 display

So-so signal ; Sometimes alerts are overkill ; Glass is a fingerprint magnet (and may smash under impact) ; No wireless charging ; No 3.5mm headphone jack (aah) ; Do we really need that B&W camera?

The Huawei Mate 10 Pro is a defining handset; a flagship every bit as capable as its Samsung, HTC, LG and Apple competition. Which is a serious accomplishment for a company that has been yo-yoing between on-the-money and on-the-lam over the last couple...

The Mate 10 Pro is sleek and solid, very powerful and takes great photos in both colour and black and white. It's also water-resistant and battery life is superb.

You can't expand the storage and there's no headphone jack. Its software extras are gimmicky.

While it doesn't have all the Galaxy Note 8's features, the Mate 10 Pro earns its place in the high-end big-screen pack.

Superb two-day battery life ; AI-enhanced speed and power ; Excellent camera ; Rich OLED display

Connectivity issues in testing ; Slippy back ; Some camera modes look unnatural

An all-round monster of an Android phone with a fantastic battery, massive power and excellent camera

Attractive design ; Great battery life ; Fantastic performance ; Competent cameras ; Smart UX

Scratches easily ; Screen resolution could be higher ; No expandability ; Weak speaker setup

The Huawei Mate 10 Pro promises a lot and delivers in practically every instance. It’s an attractive and very capable performer with some powerful features for productivity and one potent imaging experience on top too..
