Both devices are powered by 4000 mAh Lithium-Polymer battery and come with USB Type-C port. Huawei Super Charge on Mate 10 smartphones comes with TUV Rheinland safety certification for now and claims to charge the battery up to 58% in only 30 minutes. According to Huawei, the battery on Mate 10 smartphones will provide 30 hours call time or 20 hours video playback or 20 hours 4G browsing on a single charge

In terms of design, they are very much different than the previous Mate series smartphones. Both Mate 10 and Mate 10 Pro come with 4-axis glass back panel that meets the metal frame of the device. To highlight the Leica SUMMILUX-H dual camera setup, the camera module features a darker shade band of the same color as the back of the device. Fingerprint sensor is placed on the back on Mate 10 Pro just like the Mate 9 and below the screen on Mate 10.

Both devices come with the exact same camera module and specs. The sport a dual 20 MP + 12 MP (RGB + monochrome) lens camera along with f/1.6 aperture, optical image stabilization, 2x lossless zoom, Leica SUMMILUX-H optics, phase detection & laser autofocus and dual-LED (dual tone) flash. Both devices are capable of recording 4K videos. On the front side, there is an 8 MP camera with f/2.0 aperture provided for taking selfies and making video calls.


As you can see there are not so much difference from Huawei P10 Plus in camera and the new features are mostly rely on new Kirin 970 processor that brings dual ISP (image signal processing), movement recognition for faster autofocus and the real-time scene and subject recognition powered by the new NPU.

The major difference between Huawei Mate 10 and Mate 10 Pro comes in the screen. Huawei Mate 10 features a 5.9 inch IPS LCD capacitive touchscreen with 16:9 aspect ratio, 1440 x 2560 pixels resolution, 499 PPI density and 81.6% screen-to-body ratio. Huawei Mate 10 Pro comes with a 6.0 inch AMOLED capacitive touchscreen with 1080 x 2160 pixels, 18:9 aspect ratio and 80.9% screen-to-body ratio.

So even though the display quality is improved in Mate 10 Pro, the resolution is reduced from 499 PPI to 402 PPI density. Also, the 5.9-inch 16:9 display will be slightly bigger overall in size compared to 6.0-inch 18:9 aspect ratio display.

One of the most highlighted feature of Huawei Mate 10 is the artificial intelligence and machine learning of the Kirin 970 processor. As mentioned above, the camera in Mate 10 phones will be using the NPU and AI for motion detection, scene detection etc. Kirin 970 AI will also use the on-device data and user behavior to provide a better experience and keep the device faster and better in performance with time.
