Brand : HiSilicon Kirin

Introduction:

The Honor View 10's launch is a significant one in Honor's history. It was known as Honor's V-series and it was only available in China and select markets with a different name (i.e. Honor 8/9 Pro). Honor's rebranding to "View" series comes at the same time as the company's decision to launch the smartphone outside of China as a high-value or bang-for-your-buck smartphone.



In the past couple of iterations, the V-series held specs that nearly mirrored Huawei's most recent Mate-series model. For example, the Honor V9 had specifications that were identical to the Huawei Mate 9 Pro like the CPU and RAM size. The Honor View 10 is in the same boat in this regard - it has similar hardware to the Huawei Mate 10 Pro.



The thing about the Mate 10 Pro and the Honor View 10 is that they serve different segments of the market. The Mate 10 Pro is the premium offering while the View 10 is more of a 'bang-for-your-buck" choice. In fact, we feel that the Honor View 10 offers an additional tier to the Huawei Mate 10 and Mate 10 Pro. Unlike the Mate 10 Pro, the View 10 has a front-mounted fingerprint scanner, a 3.5mm headphone jack, and expandable memory, all of which the Mate 10 Pro forgoes.

Design

The Honor View 10 has a nice and sturdy metal construction. The design has been pretty much overused by this point: an integrated metal body and frame build with rounded corners and antenna lines along the edges. In fact, this is the design used by the phone's direct competitor, the OnePlus 5T, complete with the position of the dual-cameras.

Huawei Honor View 10 specs:

Build: Plastic frame, metal back

Body: Metal unibody, 2.5D glass on front

Screen: 5.99" (18:9) IPS LCD, 1080p+ (403 ppi)

Chipset: HiSilicon Kirin 970, Octa-core (4x2.4 GHz Cortex-A73 & 4x1.8 GHz Cortex-A53), Mali-G72 MP12 GPU

Memory: 64GB + 4/6GB RAM or 128GB + 6GB RAM, Expandable via microSD on hybrid tray

Camera: Dual: 16MP (f/1.8) + 20 MP, phase detection autofocus, 2160p @ 30fps

Selfie cam: 13MP (f/2.0)

OS: Android 8.0 Oreo with Huawei EMUI 8.0 + AI features

Battery: 3,750 mAh non-removable, Huawei Super Charger (5V @ 4.5A)

Connectivity: Hybrid Dual Nano-SIM (hybrid microSD slot); OTG USB 2.0, NFC, Bluetooth 4.2

Misc: IR Blaster, front-mounted fingerprint with gesture navigation

Of course, the Mate 10 Pro has the Leica branded cameras, premium hardware construction, and is sealed for water-resistance (all of which the View 10 lacks). Of course, each of these models offers something different and each has its drawbacks and compromises. So, why would anyone choose the Mate 10 Pro over the View 10? By the end of the review, you'll have an answer.

Official press images in Navy Blue

Mate 10 aside, the View 10 is really pushing what a phone of this price can offer. It's definitely rubbing shoulders with the likes of other smartphones in this price range like the OnePlus 5T and the Essential PH-1. It looks like Honor has really crammed a lot of value into this guy, let's dig into the phone's packaging.

Unboxing

We received a European unit from our friends at Honor and it certainly is a step up from Honor's usual bright-teal colored packaging. This box is a very dark navy blue color, likely to represent our blue model. We're not sure if the black version would come with a black box, but we'd imagine that's the case.

The 6-inch display looks great

Honor included an 18:9 display with FHD+ resolution (1,080 x 2,160 px) and it looks pretty good. It has great viewing angles with no color shifting. We kind of wish it packed more pixels, but if it did, then Honor wouldn't be able to offer it for this price. Honor didn't specify which kind of glass the phone uses, so we'd suggest you don't remove the factory-installed screen protector.




When it came to testing, the Honor View 10 did fairly well. The phone was able to reach a great 506 nits of full brightness. This was achieved in Auto mode, however. Switch Auto mode off and the phone will display 453 nits when the brightness meter is cranked up.



Contrast ratio was quite good, too at 1,629:1 - blacks are generally quite dark, but become more noticeable as the screen goes up to its brightest.

Android Oreo with EMUI 8.0

The View 10 ships with the latest Android Oreo with Huawei's EMUI 8.0 layered over it. The Kirin 970 has a few AI features built-in. These AI features are all automatic, so there is not really a way to adjust or disable the handful of functions.
Non-Leica dual cameras

Camera 

The Honor View 10's camera setup consists of two camera sensors: one is a 16MP RGB sensor while the other is a higher resolution 20MP monochrome sensor. On paper, the cameras are similar to the ones on the Huawei Mate 10, save for a couple of differences. Both of the Mate 10 (or Pro)'s sensors are optically stabilized while the View 10's are not.
 Thank you,
