Huawei Mate 10 Pro: A Complete Guide

Our complete guide to Huawei's Mate 10 Pro smartphone compiles our unboxing, review, camera review and tips and tricks videos. Everything you need to know about the Mate 10 Pro is right here!
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.
The lower £699 asking price, when compared to rivals like the Galaxy Note 8, can be explained by small cost-saving measures such as the Mate 10 Pro's lower resolution display and slightly mixed camera experience. Still, this is still the greatest phone Huawei’s ever made and you can grab it here in the UK right now.

@@booshkabooshka1642 my original Mate 10 is still going good, even with the battery life on quad HD resolution (2k)

[@Hankercheif]

Watching on my mate 10 pro, I just got it a few hours ago, this is the fastest phone I've ever used so far, and I got a free Huawei watch 2 with it from Vodafone.

[@marioivanberriozabalreyes7240]

[@fanATIc666x]

[@Aidan-AI]

[@عبايكي]

[@RuyVilela]

When will it be available for purchase?

[@xiaoxiaxiami]

[@Dianophi]

Since I got mate 9, I don't really miss the app drawer at all. Even though I came from an Xperia z5 and HTC one m7. I just made some folders then *bam*, now everything I need is in 3 screens. May be a subjective thing, but overall I don't miss the app drawer ☺️

[@nikoolay]

if you do you can easily download a launcher

[@CrunchyButtBurger]

Excellent review

[@ninesxeight1510]

does it also come with a screen protector or is that something you need to buy separately?

[@lifelessjelly_3868]

it comes with one together with the phone, it is a plastic one though

[@trungnguyentran95]

Which site to buy?

[@rafaelrosales1194]

If i want ti hide not an album but a Lot of phots like un Samsung gallery is it posible?

[@joepbailey]

hmm... I'm pretty sure on of the reason's it's got great battery life is because they kept the resolution at 1080p. So for me, I'd put screen res in the plus section.

[@Reseng0411]

This is truely excellent smart phone... Initially bit sceptical about this brand, however, this thing is mich better than iphone...bye bye iphone...

[@eluminaryxarrais7735]

Preorder the us version yesterday upgraded from lg g6 its the first time ive ever upgraded within 2 years of a phone purchase, but this has some features i missed mostly the wired connection to a larger display miracast is laggy and unreliable.

[@jonmatthews721]

Nice, I'm enjoying the relaxed style of your reviews, particularly at 7.25

[@PaoloMargutti]

hi, do you know if "ok google" assistant should work also when the phone is in st-by / locked mode?

[@senil5906]

Yes.work

[@henryjesusmoralesapaza9913]

Does someone know if the huawei mate 10 and mate 10 pro have a virtual assistant like Siri, Cortana or bixby?

[@Irfan-nz1zb]

Google assistant.

[@henryjesusmoralesapaza9913]

I heard about Alexa but if the mates 10 and pro already went on sale why the KZbinrs don't talk about artificial assistant? I want to know who is ? If Google or Alexa :/

[@intruda119]

Henry Jesus Morales Apaza if not preinstalled, you install your own.

[@henryjesusmoralesapaza9913]

Yes, but Huawei's artificial intelligence doesn't need internet connection , the pre installed would be much better than uninstalling it.

[@JBru1978]

Mine doesn't get the colors right, unfortunately... for the price and the "super cameras" I expected more accuracy.

[@BenjaminYew0488]

Why some wallpapers won't display in full when phone is tilted to the side?

i just bought mine. 800 euros. absolute beast

[@biazinho]

i get a promotion with 30% discount and is a fantastic phone

[@oblizkin1481]

Mad Mike u have them in EU? So why is it that no major US phone companies like Verizon, AT&T or T Mobile carry this phone? Could the rumors of Huawei phones boasting a security concern be true since China is the owner of Huawei??🤔🤔

[@madmike6942]

oBlizkin bcoz it's USA... not so great country.. lol.. but yea we have them here and i just bought a p10 plus.... 600 euros... next will be a p 20 pro.... and this guy knows NOTHING about phones

[@oblizkin1481]

Mad Mike of course u say not so great country yet you use things invented by Americans on a daily basis

[@zaph1rax]

If you need perfect stabilization, just put the phone in a handheld gimbal for phones.

watching on my Huawei Mate 10 standard 😗

[@nikoolay]

would you rather have the pro or keep the standart?

[@lifelessjelly_3868]

@@nikoolay I'd keep the standard because of the higher resolution screen. I dont really care about IP rating cuz i dont drop my phone in water always and i dont work in dust-filled conditions

[@nikoolay]

@@lifelessjelly_3868 I got the pro model because I love having oled screens and the ip rating does come in handy

does the Huawei mate 10 pro have a slot of a SD card?

Elizabeth Straughen yes

[@oblizkin1481]

Elizabeth Straughen oh wait no it doesnt. It carries 128Gb tho. Good enough

yeah that's what I thought like how are you even gonna fill up that space?

[@lifelessjelly_3868]

standard mate 10 does have one i believe

[@farood5]

Dual SIM not available in the UK ?

[@jzvr5842]

Weak speakers, really? Lol is this reviewer serious.

[@gogigp]

JZ VR htc speaker set up that Huawei is copying here is not the best way and can't compare pixel Xl2 or any other real front firing speakers and can't come close to something like razer phone.

[@jzvr5842]

+Goran Petrovic Still way better than most of the phones on the market with single speakers. I have the Mate 9 the speakers are not "weak" by any means, in fact it has better speakers than most phones.

[@gogigp]

JZ VR yeah, like htc U11, but real front speakers are simply superior.

[@andyH_England]

Comparing it with my iPhone 8 Plus the speakers are clearly inferior. However for plain audio, like talk radio it is fine, though lacking bass. It distorts when you play music and is disappointing at high volume. Clearly significantly better than the crap Note 8 or S8 speakers, that suck big time for a flagship phone and it appears Samsung don’t care about important stuff like speaker quality. Overall better than many but not as good as a u11 Plus, Iphone or Pixel.

[@jzvr5842]

I have both the Mate 9 and Mate 10 Pro in hand, a friend has the 8 Plus what you said is total BS. The Mate 10 Pro has much more bass than the Mate 9 and any iPhone out there, it also produces much cleaner+clearer sound through the speakers. iPhone speakers have always been inferior and lacking in quality+clarity, this was the case when I first got the Mate 9 and compared the speakers with his 7 Plus back then. The Mate 10 Pro has much better speakers it simply blows them out of the water.

The speed and lack of intonation of your speach will alienate non native English speakers. Especially during the unboxing...

[@k.j.9290]

Im not native english speaking user, but i was still able to understand every single word the first time. Watch some more english movies without subtitles and you will soon understand everything easily

[@oblizkin1481]

Bas Horneman youre saying Americans speak extremely good english??

I understood every single word in this video and english is the third language that I have learned.

[@recombu]

What's wrong with them?

[@thegoldfinger]

Bought the Mate 10 Pro 5 days ago. The battery is draining fast. Doesn't even last half day. Big problem. And to make things worst AID64 indicates that Android reports the battery is 3100 mhA and not 4000. Disgraceful. In addition there are many SW problems many apps do not work and I had to uninstall and reinstall many times. They also freeze and I must keep restarting the phone. My old Mate 8 is still working fine. The Mate 10 Pro is a disaster for me. Avoid

[@maxhlacey]

You sure you got a real one? Sounds like a fake phone

[@thegoldfinger]

Max definitely the real one. I bought it from Fortress Hong-Kong. One of the most reputable retailers in the country

[@gavinman7423]

I'm using a Mate 8. About to get my hands on a Mate 10 pro. I doubt I'll have the same experience as you. I'll see...

[@thegoldfinger]

Gavin Man let me know what you think and what is your experience. I love my mate But my mate 10 so far is a disappointment. I hope it improves. If not I go back to my mate 8

[@gavinman7423]

thegoldfinger I will post my thoughts here.. I've bought the phone in HK too
