There has been numerous leaks online surrounding Huawei's new flagship Mate 10 series. Forget the speculations, because we've got the real scoop on its global launch, which is taking place at Olympic Park in Munich, Germany right now.

The fall may as well be the season of phablets. Apple, LG and Samsung are the usual suspects but Huawei wants in too - as a front-runner, mind you, not an also-ran. Like its illustrious rivals, Huawei is also yielding to the pressure and the new Mate 10 is trying hard to please the fickle crowd.

So, early impressions are very promising indeed and the price looks tempting, too. With the Mate 10 coming in at €699, it undercuts most of its big-screened competition by a considerable margin. The Pro is a less-tempting €799 at launch.

Huawei is quickly becoming a dominant name in the Android game both internationally and here in Australia, in fact they are ranked the second or third smartphone manufacturer in the world (depending on the month).

The Huawei Mate 10 series is shaping up to be an excellent upgrade to a popular line of smartphone. With a refreshed design, Huawei can reach a broader audience and it is undeniable that these phones keep getting better and nicer fast.

The Huawei Mate 10, while impressive, isn't quite as exciting as the sleek Huawei Mate 10 Pro . This isn't exactly a bad thing, of course: both devices are catered to different consumers, and the Mate 10 continues to emphasise on the strengths of Huawei's Mate series.

Last year, at the end of fall, the Chinese electronics manufacturer Huawei presented a new flagship among the tablets called Huawei Mate 9. The smartphone received top-end hardware, two cameras on the rear panel, a lot of memory and a powerful battery.

Huawei's latest flagship devices, the Mate 10 and Mate 10 Pro , has landed in the Philippines and they're bringing a different perspective on how a flagship smartphone should be.
