Huawei Mate 10 Pro Overview
Connect on-the-go with the Mate 10 Pro BLA-A09 128GB Smartphone from Huawei in midnight blue. This device combines powerful handheld performance with an advanced camera array. The Mate 10 Pro’s display features a 6.0″ OLED 2160 x 1080 display with support for 16.7 million colors, a 70,000:1 typical contrast ratio, 402 ppi, and an 18:9 aspect ratio for viewing all your content in rich colors and crisp detail. Beneath the Mate 10 Pro’s hood is the Kirin 970 chipset, which features a big.LITTLE configuration. This setup utilizes two separate quad-core Cortex processors, which include a 2.36 GHz Cortex A73 and a 1.8 GHz Cortex A53 that operate independently from each other to better manage performance and battery life. Supporting this configuration is an i7 co-processor, a Mali-G72 MP12 GPU, 6GB of RAM, 128GB of built-in storage, and a single nano SIM card slot.
The Mate 10 Pro’s camera setup includes two rear-facing 27mm f/1.6 Leica lenses, one of which features a 20MP (5120 x 3840) monochrome sensor, while the other uses a 12MP (3968 x 2976) RGB sensor, both of which are BSI CMOS sensors. The fast aperture allows for pictures with shallow depth of field and low-light photography, while Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) helps capture more light in dark environments by stabilizing camera movements while using slower shutter speeds. Other available shooting resolutions include 9MP (3968 x 2240), 9MP (2976 x 2976), 8MP (3264 x 2448), and 6MP (3264 x 1840). In addition to capturing still photos, the rear cameras can also record UHD 4K (3840 x 2160) video at 30 fps, as well as Full HD 1080p at 60 fps, Full HD 1080p, 720p, VGA (640 x 480), QVGA (320 x 240), and MMS (176 x 144) video. The rear cameras are rounded out by a dual-LED flash, 2x hybrid zoom, and laser, phase-detect, contrast-detect, and depth auto focus.
For selfie shooters, there is also a high-quality front-facing 8MP (3264 x 2448) f/2.0 camera that will record Full HD 1080p, 720p, VGA, QVGA, and MMS video. For experienced shooters, there is an option to activate Pro Mode, which lets users capture raw images and permits more precise control over metering, ISO, shutter speed, exposure compensation, focus, and white balance.
Bluetooth 4.2 with BLE can be used for pairing with other Bluetooth-enabled devices, while dual-band 802.11ac Wi-Fi is also integrated for high-speed Internet connectivity. NFC allows you to instantly connect to other NFC-enabled devices for content sharing, simply by tapping the two devices together. GPS with GLONASS and BDS is also available for using Google Location and Maps services. Additionally, the Huawei Mate 10 Pro runs on the Android 8.0 (Oreo) operating system and features a 4000mAh battery which can be quickly recharged with the reversible USB Type-C connector. Included is a pair of USB Type-C earphones, a charger, a USB Type-C cable, a USB Type-C to 3.5mm headphone adapter, a flexible clear case, and an eject tool. Also included is a pre-installed screen protector.
