Huawei kicks off Mobile World Congress 2017 with the launch of the Huawei P10 and Huawei P10 Plus. The much-anticipated additions to the P Series are a combination of beautiful hardware and the latest advances in software. The new smartphones showcase striking colours and finishes, and introduce new Leica front and back cameras with cutting-edge portrait features to make every shot a cover shot.

The new P Series devices key features include:
Leica Dual-Camera 2.0 for the Huawei P10 and Leica Dual-Camera 2.0 Pro Edition for the Huawei P10 Plus, featuring artistic portraits with precise 3D facial detection, dynamic illumination, portrait enhancements, natural bokeh effect and Huawei Hybrid Zoom as well as the world’s first Leica front camera with a new, brighter sensor and larger aperture for outstanding self portraits.

The Huawei P10’s new Leica Dual-Camera 2.0 and Huawei P10 Plus’ Leica Dual-Camera 2.0 Pro Edition, featuring the rear dual-camera set up and Leica front camera, enable users to explore the full range of portrait photography. With a 20-megapixel monochrome sensor, a 12-megapixel RGB sensor and enhanced fusion algorithms, the new P Series is built to deliver superior technical and artistic photography features on a smartphone.

The Leica front camera includes a new F/1.9 aperture and an all-new sensor that captures more light. Portrait features are also available with the 8-megapixel front camera. The Huawei P10 and Huawei P10 Plus automatically detects whether a user is taking a selfie or an adaptive selfie with multiple people. If the device detects an adaptive selfie, it switches to wide-angle mode.

The Huawei P10 Plus features the Leica Dual-Camera 2.0 Pro Edition. This includes new Leica SUMMILUX-H lenses with a larger F/1.8 aperture and higher optical capability. These versatile lenses capture sharp close-ups, quick actions shots and more light in low-light conditions.
Co-developed with GoPro, the Huawei P10 and Huawei P10 Plus also feature Highlights, a mobile editing tool which creates a dynamic video of users’ images and videos complete with transitions and music tracks. Highlights can be shared with friends and family in just a few simple taps.

The Huawei P10 features Hyper Diamond-Cut finishing, in addition to the refined sandblast and high gloss finishes. The Huawei P10 and Huawei P10 Plus are also available in a selection of unique colours: Dazzling Blue and the Pantone Color of the Year 2017, Greenery, were designed by the Pantone Color Institute and optimized by Huawei to create a beautiful, glow-effect finish.

The Hyper Diamond-Cut finish will be available in Dazzling Blue and Dazzling Gold. Greenery, Rose Gold, Mystic Silver, Graphite Black and Prestige Gold will be available with a sandblast finish, and Ceramic White will be available in high gloss.

Following the iconic P Series design, the Huawei P10 is sleek and slim for a comfortable hold at 6.98mm. Both its 5.1-inch and 5.5-inch models feature the latest Corning Gorilla 5 Glass protection and narrow bezel edges, while the Huawei P10 Plus has a 2K display.

In addition to a metal finish for a minimalistic, clean design, the Huawei P10 and Huawei P10 Plus’ fingerprint sensor is now on the front of the phone and lies under one continuous pane of glass. The fingerprint sensor replaces the navigation bar making the screen view bigger, while also making smart touch navigation gestures faster and more ergonomic.

The Huawei P10 and Huawei P10 Plus are powered by Kirin 960 processor and all-new EMUI 5.1. Kirin 960 is Huawei’s latest high-performance SoC chipset. The CPU delivers the best multicore performance among all SoCs, and the GPU boasts a 180 percent improvement in performance and a 40 percent increase in power efficiency.

Building on the EMUI 5.0, EMUI 5.1 goes a step beyond with UX improvements, performance optimization and several new features. Specifically, the machine learning algorithm learns users’ behaviors and can anticipate app usage to intelligently allocate and recycle system resources.

Layered on top of the machine learning algorithm is Huawei Ultra Memory. First, the machine learning algorithm learns how users use their phones. Then, Huawei Ultra Memory anticipates app usage and manages RAM, so the apps and services used most often load faster and outperform in multitasking. EMUI 5.1 also improves touch response with a faster touch control driver, predictive touch tracking and parallel graphics rendering, enhancing the smoothness of the user experience.

With 3,200 and 3,750 mAh batteries, the Huawei P10 and Huawei P10 Plus supports Huawei SuperCharge technology. The low voltage, low temperature fast charging solution comes with a super safe 5-gate protection mechanism, which offers real-time voltage, current and temperature monitoring to make charging not only fast but safe.

The Kirin 960 and EMUI 5.1 enable a more advanced communications experience and superior network connectivity. The Huawei P10 Plus features 4×4 MIMO (four physical antennas) with support for the 4.5G network. This allows for faster and more stable connections in more areas, even when the signal coverage weakens.

Both the Huawei P10 and Huawei P10 Plus feature 2X2 Wi-Fi MIMO (two antennas) for fast Wi-Fi speed coverage. For users requiring faster, more accurate navigation via maps and applications, Huawei HiGeo technology combines multi-sensory predictive tracking and offline big data to enable GPS and cell network location detection, making it easy to navigate almost anywhere.

The Huawei P10 (64GB+4GB) is priced at €649 and Huawei P10 Plus is priced at €699 for the 64GB+4GB version and €799 for the 128GB+6GB model. Both phone will start selling in March in Australia, Austria, Chile, China, Columbia, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Malaysia, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Peru, Philippines, Poland, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Thailand, Turkey, UAE, United Kingdom, Vietnam

In addition to the Huawei P10 and Huawei P10 Plus, Huawei unveiled its second-edition smartwatch, the Huawei WATCH 2 and Porsche Design Huawei Smartwatch. The 4G sports wearable combines innovative technology and features an athletic and stylish lightweight design.
