A week ago, Huawei confirmed the debut of their next-gen P Series phones, the P10 and P10 Plus, at the upcoming Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain. There’s been plenty of gossip and “leaks” on these handsets for a while now, so let’s try to make sense of it all before Huawei officially unwraps them.

Huawei P10 Plus (Rumored Specs)
- HiSilicon Kirin 965 octa-core processor
- 4GB/6GB of RAM
- 5.5-inch QHD display, 2560 x 1440 resolution, 2.5D dual-edged curved glass
- 64GB/128GB expandable storage, via microSD

Famous Twitter leakster Evan Blass is again at the forefront for these press renders. As for the specifications, the P10 is mostly complete, but its larger sibling, the P10 Plus is missing key details such as its camera configuration. It’s probably safe to say that the Plus will also be shipping with a dual Leica rear camera setup, perhaps with a higher megapixel rating and better features. It’s also important to note that its SoC, the Kirin 965, has not been announced by Huawei, and so far, has eluded benchmark leaks as well. The P10 Plus will be the first handset to feature the Kirin 965 if current speculation pans out as true.
As for pricing rumors, here’s what we’ve got from a supposedly “official” promotional image leaked from a few weeks back:
- Huawei P10 (4GB RAM, 32GB storage) – 3,488 CNY (~Php 26K)
- Huawei P10 (4GB RAM, 64GB storage) – 4,088 CNY (~Php 30K)
- Huawei P10 (6GB RAM, 128GB storage) – 4,688 CNY (~Php 35K)
- Huawei P10 Plus (4GB RAM, 64GB storage) – 4,988 CNY (~Php 37K)
- Huawei P10 Plus (6GB RAM, 128GB storage) – 5,688 CNY (~Php 42K)
