Huawei has been making consistently great phones for a number of years now, yet has struggled to establish itself as a household name in western markets – and its latest flagship, the Huawei P10, offers a glimpse as to why that’s the case.
he Huawei P10 is a culmination of everything the company has been doing right, with a few minor tweaks from the P9 to make sure it keeps up with the big guns such as Apple and Samsung.
But they are minor tweaks, and the P10 is a limited upgrade – and if you're already running a recent phone from the company you may not be inspired to upgrade, although you might want to check out the slightly larger and better-specced Huawei P10 Plus instead.
Huawei P10 price and release date
Not coming to the US, but may launch in Australia
UK release confirmed, but pricing and availability are currently unavailable
Early signs suggest it'll be more expensive than the Huawei P9 was at launch
An exact UK release date for the P10 hasn't been provided by Huawei just yet, though it's expected to arrive in March.
We don't have a definite price either but the price in euros has been confirmed at €649, which converts to around £550.
Key features
New fingerprint scanner offers a new way to navigate your phone
Improved camera system includes a portrait mode
The fingerprint scanner on the Huawei P10 is a big highlight of this phone. This is the first time Huawei has put its security scanner on the front of the phone for a few iterations. It sits just below the screen, although despite it looking like the home key on a Samsung device you can’t press this down, as it’s not a button. There are no capacitive keys on the front of the phone either; instead navigation between screens and apps is all controlled through the fingerprint sensor. Today:1
