14 DAY TRIAL // Huawei is expected to announce two new and exciting phones during MWC 2017, Huawei P10 and P10 Lite. Some recent reports have revealed part of the specs for the two upcoming devices, and the latest rumors say that the flagship Huawei P10 might actually be the most expensive phone in the P series.
Huawei P10 could be announced next month during MWC, which starts on February 26 and ends on March 2. The event will be hosted in Barcelona and many smartphone makers are expected to unveil new flagships and other devices.
A recent report reveals that the P10 might have a price tag even higher than last year’s Huawei P9, which was released in April and carried a price tag of about $644 upon launch. The P9 Plus had a price tag of $805 on launch.
Huawei P10 won’t cost as much as the Mate 9 Porsche Design edition, meaning that its price will be lower than $1,498. The P9 was the first Huawei smartphone with dual-camera setup - the sensors resulted from a partnership with Leica. The P10 is expected to feature at least the same camera setup as its predecessor, hopefully with some improvements.
Possibly 6GB of RAM and Kirin 960 SoC
Huawei P10 is rumored to run the company’s Kirin 960 processor, coupled with 6GB of RAM. The smartphone might also have a 5.5-inch display curved at both edges and 2560 x 1440 pixel resolution. Fingerprint sensor will be incorporated into the phone, and the device might be launched in more than one variant, depending on the amount of storage.
Huawei P9 came with a 3,000mAh battery, 3GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage, but it also had a variant with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of memory. The smartphone shipped with Android 6.0 Marshmallow out of the box, while the P10 is expected to run Android 7.0 Nougat upon launch.
