Background and Identification

The Huawei P10 Plus Android smartphone was produced by Huawei as the higher-end phone to the Huawei P10. The P10 Plus was available in white, blue, gold, black, silver, rose gold, and green bodies. The P10 Plus includes a scratch-resistant glass front and an aluminum back and frame. The phone is also splash-resistant and includes a 3.5mm headphone jack. This device was not available in the United States.

The P10 and P10 Plus both feature main dual 20-megapixel and 12-megapixel cameras. The P10 Plus comes with a 5.5-inch QHD display, while the P10 has a 5.1-inch full HD display. The P10 Plus includes either 64 GB of internal storage and 4 GB of RAM or 128 GB of internal storage and 6 GB of RAM. The P10 variant contains 4 GB of RAM and 32 GB of expandable storage.

The P10 Plus includes a non-removable 3750 mAh battery with 18-Watt fast-charging capabilities. (A non-removable battery is one whose adhesive is permanent, making repair and replacement difficult.) The Plus features a front-mounted fingerprint sensor as well as an accelerometer, gyro, proximity, and compass sensors. It includes a single SIM and hybrid dual SIM capabilities, meaning it can contain a nano-SIM card and a second stand-by SIM card.

A TechRadar review praised the P10 Plus’s high-quality QHD screen and cameras but found that the phone’s navigation key was poorly designed.
