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"...

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

Apple and Google may have machine learning, but Huawei has artificial intelligence. The Mate 10 Pro is the first phone with a dedicated Neural Processing Unit (NPU), letting it run AI computations with greater efficiency than a CPU or GPU. Processing smarts aside, it also has a sleek glass body, an edge-to-edge display, and solid dual camera sensors, along with all the other premium features you'd expect on a high-end Android phone. At $649.99 it's a bit more affordable than the Samsung Galaxy S9+, but quite a bit more costly than Huawei's own View 10 and only available online and unlocked, making it a hard sell in the US market. Design, Features, and Display Glass is making a comeback. Unlike the aluminum Mate 9, the Mate 10 Pro ( at Amazon) features an all-glass body that curves along the back for a comfortable grip. There's a distinct reflective stripe that runs horizontally across the top of the phone where the camera is located. Color options include midnight blue, mocha bro...

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.

Earlier this year, a groundbreaking new smartphone was announced. One that promised to combine an industry-leading camera, glossy design and artificial intelligence tech to change the way you interact with your smartphone in a real, meaningful way and help a global tech brand crack-and-tap the mainstream in the same way that Samsung and Apple do.

If you’re not swayed by Samsung’s return to form, Apple’s ultra-expensive iPhone X or Google’s funky Pixel 2, then the Huawei Mate 10 Pro is a pretty solid alternative.

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 ?
