Background and Identification

The Huawei Mate 10 Android smartphone was produced by Huawei as part of the Huawei Mate series. The Mate 10 was released with the Mate 10 Pro and Mate 10 Lite in November 2017.

The Mate 10 includes 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of internal storage, while the Mate 10 Pro contains either 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of internal storage, or 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of internal storage. The higher-end Porsche Design Mate 10 model includes 6 GB RAM and 256 GB of internal storage. In China only, Huawei released a version of the Mate 10 with 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of internal storage.

The Mate 10 supports expandable storage up to 256 GB with extra MicroSD cards. The Mate 10 has a higher resolution display than the Mate 10 Pro, though both variants feature nearly identical screen-to-body ratios. Both models also include 4,000 mAh batteries with a fast-charging feature.

The Mate 10 features a 3-D glass back and front with an aluminum frame. It also includes a dual-lens rear camera. The Mate 10 includes a 3.5 mm headphone jack and has IP53 rating, meaning that the phone is dust-protected and splash-resistant. The Mate 10 Pro, however, does not include a headphone jack but has IP67 rating, which means the phone is dust-tight and water-resistant for up to 1 meter of submersion. The Mate 10 includes a physical Home button and a fingerprint scanner on the bottom of the front bezel, while the Pro’s fingerprint scanner is on the back of the phone and has no physical Home button.
