A few months ago, Huawei passed Apple to become the second largest smartphone maker in the world, (Samsung is number one). Its latest flagship handset, the Mate 10 and Mate 10 Pro, comes complete with its own homegrown silicon that Huawei claims should make its smartphone the most intelligent.

The Mate 10 Pro is a real coming of age phone for Huawei. It's got a premium design, and is a solid performer in all categories. The battery life is class leading, but we wish Emotion UI looked a little more premium.

Great battery life; Useful features; Excellent screen

EMUI is still the worst Android skin

The Mate 10 Pro looks great in photos with the sleek glass frame and small bezels. Yet, as a glass phone, it picks up fingerprints to a maddening degree. The decision to go with glass on this phone doesn't even have a functional component like wireless charging.

Design again It's glass, but there's no wireless charging; It's just glass because glass is very "in" right now; There are so many fingerprints; This phone also lacks a microSD card slot, which the regular Mate 10 has, Display The resolution is lower than the cheaper Mate 10, Headphone jack There...

Outstanding battery life; Exceptional camera

Pretty conventional flagship form-factor; Lacks wireless charging

The Mate 10 Pro is the best phone from Huawei yet and although the cameras aren't as good as the Pixel 2 XL's, it has a better screen, better battery life and just as much processing power.

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.

A few months ago, Huawei passed Apple to become the second largest smartphone maker in the world, (Samsung's number one). Yet you don't see Huawei ads on TV in the United States, and its phones are seldom sold in any of the big carrier stores.

Great battery life; nice build; solid cameras (the AI modes are a bonus) AI smarts are hard to pin down; no headphone jack

AI smarts are hard to pin down; no headphone jack

From a superb camera to cutting-edge AI smarts, the Huawei Mate 10 Pro stylishly gets almost everything right.

Incredibly versatile dual-lens Leica camera; Beautiful OLED screen with minimal bezels; Two-day battery life; Stylish; water-resistant body; NPU shows promise

No headphone jack; EMUI design falls behind competition; Expensive

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
