I am in my 6th year of 24/7 use with the Huawei P10. It still runs super fast and every component is still working just fine, absolutely nothing has ever broken down. Sure, I can see some color disfiguration starting to form on the outer edges of the screen and the back is littered with tiny grey spots from where the paint has bladdered off the aluminum (I suspect grains of sand between the phone and its case are responsible). And the battery is definitely getting worse - opening the camera when it's below 20% will instantly shut the phone down. But overall, this has to be the most reliable smartphone I have ever seen. Insane build quality. To the point where I still don't even really have to get something new after all these years. I am looking for a new phone now only because I'm getting bored, not because of necessity... I previously had a Xperia ZL - that thing's battery completely died after 7 months, the replacement died after another year. It's microphone broke down, forcing me to use a headset with microphone for calls. The protective top layer of the screen started to just bladder off, which must be the weirdest thing I'd ever seen, and after a while even the Wi-Fi chip stopped working. All this in 2.5 years. What a mind blowing experience the P10 has been in comparison! Huawei P10, underrated king. Only bad thing about it is that it's damn hard to find a worthy successor. One that looks like it will give me that P10 experience, and not the ZL experience...

Man I wish I was able to get a P10 but they went out of stock on the day I was gonna get one so I settled for an LG G6 and that was quite disappointing. Their claims about using the older snapdragon 821 because of mature optimisation was a lie, it ran hotter and slower than the Pixel or OnePlus 3T that came a year before it. Mushy volume buttons, fingerprint sensor broke within 1 year, serious image retention on the display within 2 years, not great battery life, the sim card tray broke from inside the phone within 1 year ultimately killing the slot when I eventually removed it. To top it all off, in my attempt to revive it with a custom rom, I installed a H870 rom when the device was actually a H872 model that had misreported its ID as H870 in its own software so it's a brick now. Jumped ship for a oneplus 8 which was great but these days it's basically running colorOS due to the Oppo merge, thanks oneplus! /s

[@vje__]

4 years later I still have it and it works like new if it weren't for the battery, which I might have to replace soon. Definitely an awesome smartphone with astonishing durability :D

[@silverjay4455]

After 4 years i dont blame u, i have the huaweii p smart z and after 2 years battery sucks already...

[@joseph17057]

Had this phone for 2 years and I’ve never gotten over it

[@OsirisNO]

I have the p10, the software is amazingly good.

[@gintarasmiliauskas5813]

is screen big for gaming

[@ncebamarareni7998]

Did you have any software/hardware issues with it while you owned it?

[@RisingFX]

Dead phone

[@noddy7215]

I had this phone back then and this is still the prettiest phone that Huawei made IMO

[@jeraldjohnson2781]

Love the dual camera effect

[@maroofjuneja498]

they should launch it before G6 and S8 come out worldwide

[@MrPiaya]

lack of water resistance... but best phone today.

[@Esmail6400]

jee cee It is water/splash resistant IPX2 but the P10 Plus is more resistant =IPX3

[@ck3965]

Tip: You can apply a liquid crystal glass to your p10 and have an oleophobic screen

[@benchasinghorizons9428]

Im not a power user just youtube and some pics, I just got a p10 mint in box for £80. everything works fine and up to date. what a nice phone.

[@laaviladiaz]

Man loads of ppl are hitting negative comments, honestly, eff them, the review was on point dude, keep it going guys

[@geemangaming9630]

Fuck yes. Getting this handset tomorrow on launch day here in South Africa. I can not wait.

[@aaronstark171]

I bet his boss told him to use hand gestures to better express himself. That unnatural movement 😂

[@HandleIsNewAndBad]

Or reduce nervousness?

[@itsnitinbansal]

Great REview my dear team as always.

[@97Dhaval]

Best value for money phone...!

[@RisingFX]

But its so cheap and shitty

[@LooseANDplay]

Next year it's going to be year 7 of my Huawei p10, I never regreted buying it! The only problem, it's time to replace it because of old and dangerous charger (new ones are quite costy). I honestly can't find a good replacement. I phone is a big no for me, Samsung lifespan has always been max 3 years, and if i pay such money I want to have it longer and it still have to run smoothly. For now I decided to keep gluing my charger

[@memberberries9782]

I got a second hand one of these that was pretty busy up already from my brother, I loved the bust up phone so much I'm ordering a brand new one myself riii nowwww!!!

lovely stuff

[@MrMobileboss]

[@catlovers2867]

Suheyb ᾏ. haha yes

[@hamzagul1497]

Dwiky Satrio same here

[@am33x]

I got the standard P9.... P10 seriously look like a joke, this design is supposed to be superior? The specs slightly improved and 600 euro? Get a P9 for around 335$ second hand, that s a way better option.

[@farazkamil7317]

Dwiky Satrio What is the difference between Lite and Normal?

[@klausweigel8978]

David Luiz Big difference, Ram, camera, processor, battery, everything...

[@princecrownz]

This phone really rocks! Amazing features and sleek classy design. How I wish I could own one...

[@RisingFX]

Its awful

[@jazzip2989]

huawei technology is superb

[@purudhamale5277]

I like the design

[@danielkioko9846]

Love it! Though still no water resistance :/

[@머쓸이]

[@daraen8001]

brown bobby 600€ vs 900€.

[@shanehorne22]

brown bobby samsung processors suck

[@daraen8001]

Λambda the kirin 960 is 6 months old

[@머쓸이]

[@allof_theabove]

I have a Huawei Y7 2019 and have been trying to upgrade, I had found a 64gb Huawei P10 for 100 dollars. Is it a good deal?

[@smooth_dude_1477]

My friend has a p10 and I want to know more about it

[@shaggy8226]

Still worth it in 2020?

[@rayana4046]

Nice review. ..I still havant got android 8 for my p10 😓😓😓😓

[@kenmatinee]

Are you able to surf the web during a phone call using the Huawei P10?

[@a.h.y.f6758]

Yes

[@jeztv4770]

Did you know that this device is upgradable to android 10?

[@marzimakenzie5938]

Is P10 good for vlogging?

[@a.h.y.f6758]

Yes. Because it has such a beutiful camera and amazing microphone

[@sabeehsaqib]

It IS IPX3 Water Resistant

[@iron_b0olt]

Sabeeh Saqib but sadly that rating is like - When you spit on the phone at weird angle the resistance does not work.

[@jamesmarshall8409]

[@jeztv4770]

[@giantdestroyer2853]

Hi GSMArena i just wondering if Kirin 960/mali g71 mp8 in huawei p10 still better in Helio p60/mali g72 mp3? TIA

[@monzer3750]

should I go for S7 373$ or Huawei P10 453$ ??

[@prithvim7]

this phone has storage issues..the company is fitting it with outdated RAM DDR3 instead of DDR4..and storage such as emmc instead of UFC 2.0 or 2.1

[@catlovers2867]

[@hamzagul1497]

Dwiky Satrio me

[@catlovers2867]

Hamy Apple Good

[@Nengataa]

The pictures were taken in Bulgaria :D

[@alvinlukas02]

isn't it splash resistant, with that nano coating or something?

[@rubenwallet2899]

Alvin Lukas ipx 3

[@NiohNiohYT]

Insane hardware and not only that everything was highest end possible, but it's also thinner than most (all?) competition and has no camera bump. Shame it's ruined by criminal UI and so many useless features and apps that cannot be deleted

[@rayana4046]

Petar Stankovic it's not got that much bloatware like Samsung phones and it doesn't lag I have one coming from a note 4 and it's so much faster and smoother

[@kikogi9641]

Do you live in Bulgaria ?

[@doniv7926]

P10 or P20 lite??...in Greece you can find the P10 for 50€-60€ higher price

[@a.h.y.f6758]

I think p10 is better. I am from greece

[@trixysvinylmusicfordjs8799]

wow - the presenter is fit! I was watching him more that the phone! I wonder if her was once a member of the beegees?! LOL

[@jeztv4770]

Because my phone is huawei p10, and it's always have a software update.

[@shokosugi3044]

Stick with the P9 imo

[@MrSSnorks]

Hi, is it possible ti use two cards in same ?

[@a.h.y.f6758]

I think you can not do this

[@jspantonio8807]

dont even bother buying it

[@donnycole5440]

Yes

[@syafiq987]

Can, watch properly

[@zaighumshahzad3501]

you did not tell how to back the screen

[@rebbcamaha9895]

This is the best phone how much

[@hafeezardzrie]

S7 or p10?

[@a.h.y.f6758]

I think s7 is better

[@sirdromos2769]

Sony xperia xz or huawei p10

[@sirdromos2769]

?

[@rubenwallet2899]

Blood Staz i would say p10

[@doc.random6056]

If it collects rime or whatever then get a case from Amazon

[@Aimbotx]

huawei phones are to good to resist.i think the UI can be improved. I have use mate 9 on that basis

[@janihenrikkoukku]

(👍) or (👎) ?.

[@abuubaidhausman9902]

samsung a7 2017 or huawei p10 ?

[@erwinailes6949]

Abuubaidha Usman huawei P10

[@doc.random6056]

Huawei p10 the a7 I think doesn't have a finger print sensor

[@rayana4046]

P10 I got mine for 350 pounds about 2 months ago

[@laurenzovictoire]

at first look, thought it was a OnePlus 3T.

[@michaelprovence]

Still too expensive I am waiting that this phone cost less than 500 euros...

[@darcastromero]

They stole the idea of the home button from Lenovo Zuk Z2, it's called "U-touch"

[@reverseflashgaj3567]

Daryll Castromero a

[@doc.random6056]

Daryll Castromero hmmm... Samsung uses it way before Lenovo I think?

[@mikaelkenjie13]

I learned that... H - HUAWEI is U - UNANIMOUSLY and A - ABSOLUTELY the W - WINNER in terms of E - EMPOWERING the peoples' I - IMAGINATION through their Photography.

[@jollygoodyo]

Michael Concha I learnt that HUAWEI is actually Chinese

[@Growler57]

Haha haha haha haha hahatwa ah twa ah twa aht

[@markdagpin1981]

[@doc.random6056]

Mark Dagpin then use a real camera

[@dolria1]

Watching this from my P10 plus

[@sitinadiahbadrishah5549]

[@dolria1]

Siti Nadiah Badrishah nope. No battery issues. Working perfectly fine and easily can reach the end of day with 30% battery life after rough usage.

[@rayana4046]

[@Nearnface]

[@jurgen2796]

[@bingle2484]

Goddamn charge your phone

[@juliachristoforidou4117]

awesome !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@haumanwong2674]

what a pity that all the Android phones in China could not enjoy the Google service.

[@MrNorman001]

Isn't compatible with Fitbit. Garbage.

[@rayana4046]

Who cares about fitbit. ..I have the phone and it's excellent better than all the Samsung laggy phones I have had ...

[@shanehorne22]

not as fast as the iphone 7 and its been proven

[@rayana4046]

Shane Horne rubbish. ..the iPhone 7 only beats the Huawei p10 at opening games but who really plays games on your phone unless your a kid. .the p10 opens apps faster than the iPhone 7 I have watched all the speed tests so you are talking rubbish

[@rayana4046]

Yes it's proven the p10 is faster than the iPhone 7

[@xMel21x]

EMUI sucks...

[@sebspokestop]

Melbourne Dauz I came from Touchwiz to EMUI, and tbh I'd say that EMUI is much better. just my opinion though

[@xMel21x]

Dan Touchwiz also sucks as well 😂

[@sebspokestop]

Melbourne Dauz Why do you even have an Android device if you can't appreciate the difference between User Interfaces? just buy an iPhone if you're that ignorant in regards to difference

[@xMel21x]

Dan I have HTC One M8 since 2014 and stills feels smooth after three years, you know why? Because Sense UI is well optimized and it has received Android 6.0 marshmallow much earlier than LG G5 Galaxy S6... You can watch my videos on my channel where I posted some things about my phone. Who is the ignorant now?

[@sebspokestop]

Melbourne Dauz Oh yeah because HTC are so fantastic, just take a look at the U Ultra..

[@anastasdzurovski7391]

Avoid this phone ...warmly recommednded . Of course slow and ugly phone making frustrations all the time. Typical old China

[@syafiq987]

So, buy a Iphone.
