The Honor 10 Is Coming To The Philippines

It finally launched for the rest of the world!

Huawei’s Honor sub-brand officially launched their flagship smartphone a few weeks ago in China, but the company only released it to the rest of the world yesterday. The Honor 10 sports many of the same features and hardware that comes in Huawei’s pricier P20 flagship sans the Leica branding.

Huawei Honor 10 Specs

HiSilicon Kirin 970 octa-core processor
6GB RAM
5.84-inch Full HD+ display, 2160×1080 resolution
64GB/128GB of expandable storage (up to 128GB)
16-megapixel f/1.8 RGB and 24-megapixel f/1.8 monochrome rear cameras with PDAF, Dual Tone LED flash, and AI Camera
24-megapixel f/2.0 front camera
Dual SIM (Hybrid Tray)
4G, LTE, VoLTE
WiFi, Bluetooth, NFC
GPS, A-GPS, GLONASS
Fingerprint sensor
USB Type-C
3400mAh battery
Android 8.1 Oreo (EMUI 8.0)

The phone ships with a Kirin 970 processor, along with 4GB of RAM in 64GB and 128GB storage flavors, a 16-megapixel color camera with f/1.8 aperture lenses and 24-megapixel monochrome secondary camera. It even has the same notch on the 5.8-inch full HD+ display that’s found in Huawei’s more expensive flagships.

The Honor 10 also has a unique glass-coated back that changes color depending on how the light hits it, dubbed the “color radiance” Aurora Glass coating technology.

What it doesn’t have is Leica branding, though since the two companies are technically sister companies, we wouldn’t be surprised if the Honor 10 share the same AI-infused photography chops as its more expensive brothers.

Folks in the Philippines should be excited, since Honor has returned to the Philippines, the Honor 10 will be coming to the country (along with 25 territories) though there’s no official word when the local launch will actually be.

The Honor 10 is priced at €449.90 (Php 28K) for the 128GB version and €399.90 (Php 24.8K) for the 64GB version. If the price seems high to you, remember that European pricing is a little higher compared to the eventual PH price because of higher taxes. Expect this to drop with a lower price tag in the PH.
