Honor 10 global launch event: Specifications, price in India 

Honor 10 has already been introduced in China, and now the company is gearing up to launch the device in other parts of the world, including India.  Honor 10 boasts of an edge-to-edge display and high-end specifications, and will be a more affordable flagship phone from the company, designed to compete with the OnePlus 6.

Honor 10 should be seen as a replacement to the Honor View 10, which made its debut in December last year. Compared to the Honor View 10, Honor 10 is obviously visually different. In fact, the Honor 10 looks like a lot like the Huawei P20 with an all-glass design. The curved design of the Honor 10 is pretty attractive and the company will reportedly launch the device in India in two finishes: Phantom Blue and Midnight Black.  And yes, the Honor 10 has the same controversial notch design; it’s slightly smaller than the notch seen on the Apple iPhone X.

Honor 10 comes with a 5.84-inch FullView display with a 2280×1080 resolution at 432 pixels-per-inch. It is powered by the same high-end Kirin 970 processor, which can be found inside the P20 Pro and P20. RAM is 6GB, and users get the option the choose the phone in two storage options; 64GB and 128GB. There is no microSD card slot for expansion, sadly.

Honor 10 also features a dual-camera setup on the back. This time around though, a 16MP primary camera with an f/1.8 aperture and a 24MP telephoto sensor. There’s also a 24MP camera on the front of the phone for self-portraits and video calls.  Interestingly, Honor 10 is getting AI-backed shooters, which changes the camera parameters to suit the scene.

The new Honor 10 is powered by a 3,400mAh battery with fast charging over USB-C, which will give you a 50 per cent charge in just 25 minutes. There’s also a 3.5mm headphone jack as well. Perhaps the highlight of the Honor 10 is the fingerprint scanner, which is located underneath the screen. So, essentially the fingerprint sensor has been placed under the glass, but you will still see a cut out in the center of the bottom bezel of the phone. Hopefully, Huawei will give a demonstration as how the invisible fingerprint scanner works.

In China, the 64GB model costs CNY 2,600 (or approx Rs 27,704) ), while the 128GB option is priced at CNY 3,000 (or approx Rs 31,967). Speculation is that Honor plans to launch the 6GB RAM and 128GB storage model in India. If true, that particular model will cost close to Rs 35,000.  As the company has already announced, Honor 10 will go on sale in partnership with Flipkart on May 16. Honor 10 will be pitted against the forthcoming OnePlus 6. The OnePlus phone will be revealed on May 16 during an event in London, followed by the Indian launch on May 17.
