Talk about arriving just at the right moment. Despite Huawei having its fair share of ups and downs since pushing into the smartphone market - the P10 that didn't quite hit the mark this year , especially on reflection of the better and cheaper Honor 9 - that's not a patch on Google's quality...

Possibly the best-looking flagship phone right now; plenty of power and smooth operation; EMUI 8.0 software is about as close to Android Oreo as could be; decent dual camera arrangement; long-lasting battery life; sumptuous 18:9 display

Poor signal reception; intelligent Wi-Fi not that intelligent; odd Android software alerts which vanish; glass is a fingerprint magnet (and may smash under impact); no 3.5mm headphone jack (aagh); do we really need that B&W camera

Instead of marching in lockstep, the Huawei Mate 10 and Mate 10 Pro will be chasing each other from one place to the next, quite unlikely to catch up except in a select few regions. It's not a parade then, it's a pursuit and therefore more exciting. So, which one would you pick ?

The Huawei Mate 10 Pro is an easy phone to love for many, many reasons. That battery life! That lovely OLED screen! That super-fast performance! That camera! In fact there’s really very little wrong with it at all, beyond the fact that it doesn’t really do anything that hasn’t already been done by another top Android this year. Yes, there’s the distinctive whiff of familiarity here, like someone’s grabbed all of their favourite bits from the year’s best phones and smashed them all together into a kind of Frankenstein’s Monster Phone. But that doesn’t really bother me and nor should it concern you. If you want a big, powerful Android phone with a lovely camera and superb battery life - and most people do - then the Mate 10 Pro should be near the top of your list.

Superb two-day battery life; AI-enhanced speed and power; Excellent camera; Rich OLED display;

Connectivity issues in testing; Slippy back; Some camera modes look unnatural;

With great battery life, cameras and utterly gorgeous design, the Mate 10 Pro in particular is a fantastic phone

Huawei is a household name when it comes to an important category in consumer electronics - smartphones. Their newest release, the Huawei Mate 10 and Huawei Mate 10 Pro pushes the boundaries again with some cool new features.

Is there enough room for yet another full-screen phone? That's the question Huawei hopes to answer with the Mate 10 Pro, the company's latest phablet, which leverages artificial intelligence in ways no one has done before.

Class-leading battery life; Camera detects objects in real-time; Stunning Portrait mode; Strong performance; Handy software features; Minimal bezels

No wireless-charging support; Frustrating user interface

The Huawei Mate 10 Pro is Huawei's top of the range flagship smartphone, not only does it feature dual Leica f/1.6 cameras with colour and black and white sensors, but also features a top of the range processor, that includes a "Neural Processing Unit" designed to speed up "Artificial Intelligence"...

Fast and responsive; Large 6inch screen; Dual Leica f/1.6 cameras; 20mp black and white camera; Large 4000mAh battery; Plenty of storage and RAM

Lacks a headphone socket; Second camera doesn't feature OIS

Overall this phone is very good. It has a lot of ram and storage, high camera mega pixels , good battery and great design. It is also big in size which will make the phone more attactive since it has a beautiful design. There may be a lot of feature as Huawei always does.

Big RAM of 6 GB; Big Storage of 128 GB; Fast processor Octa core 2.4 GHz; Good Camera of 20 + 12 Mega pixels; Good Battery

Low resolution or ppi display according to price; No expandable storage

FullView display The Huawei Mate 10 Pro has really large 6" FullView OLED display. The visual spectacle is pretty amazing with an almost bezel-less design that sees a 18:9 aspect ratio showing off more of websites, without scrolling.

Huawei has pinned its hopes on the Mate 10 Pro as its flagship phone for the year. It was designed to be just as good as the Galaxy Note 8 ( $921.08 at Amazon.com ) . And with its huge display, powerful processor and cool camera, it gets pretty close.

The Mate 10 Pro is sleek and solid, very powerful and takes great photos in both colour and black and white; It's also water-resistant and battery life is superb

You can't expand the storage and there's no headphone jack; Its software extras are gimmicky
