Details on the new high spec devices have been leaking in the days and weeks up to the show, with some hits and some misses. The devices are quite striking in appearance with eight different color finishes available; Ceramic White, Graphite Black, Mystic Silver, Prestige Gold, Dazzling Blue, Dazzling Gold, Rose Gold and "Greenery".
Specifically which finishes will be available in what region was not revealed.
While a clear evolution from the P9, one major difference is the location of the fingerprint scanner on the front of the devices, placed in the home key position. Like an iPhone, the sensor features vibration feedback.
We start to spot the differences between the P10 and P10 Plus when we look at the displays. The P10 packs a 5.1-inch Full HD (1080p) 432ppi display, while the P10 Plus upgrades to a 5.5-inch WQHD (1440p) 534ppi display. It had been rumored that the P10 Plus would feature a curved screen, but both feature a flat screen.
Both the P10 and P10 Plus feature Leica Dual Camera 2.0 which places two lenses on the back, one monochrome 20 megapixel sensor and one 12 Megapixel color sensor. The difference between the P10 and P10 Plus is the latter features f/1.8 aperture lenses instead of f/2.2 lenses.
On the front for the first time is a Leica 8 megapixel camera.
Under the hood, both powered by Kirin 960 octa-core chipset (not the rumored Kirin 965) and a Mali G71 MP8 GPU. The P10 comes with 4GB RAM and 64GB internal storage, while the P10 Plus upgrades to 6GB RAM and 128GB internal storage. Both support microSO and dual SIM.
The P10 Plus also features 4.4 MIMO connectivity for superfast download speeds, and an IR Blaster.
Both run Android Nougat 7.1 with Huawei's own Emotion UI 5.1 skin.
To power the devices, the P10 packs a 3200mAh battery while the P10 Plus upgrades to 3750mAh, with both models supporting Huawei's SuperCharge tech.
There is currently no information on pricing and availability.
