Starting with the Mate 9, Huawei transformed the Mate series from a single product line into a broader range of three distinct lines, including the Mate Pro aimed at the high-end market and the Porsche Design edition for luxury consumers. Compared to the traditional Mate models, the Mate Pro showcases a more adventurous design philosophy. It retains the signature elements of the original Mate series while incorporating modern trends, effectively enhancing the brand's image and making it more fashion-forward. The Huawei Mate 10 Pro was officially released on November 15th at 10:08 AM through major e-commerce platforms such as the Huawei Mall, Huawei Experience Stores, and authorized retailers.
According to data from the first three months of this year, Huawei’s strategy to target the high-end market has proven successful. In the first nine months of 2017, Huawei shipped 112 million smartphones globally, ranking second in the global market and surpassing Apple. It also topped the Chinese market. Notably, the growth in sales did not come from selling low-end devices. Instead, Huawei is gradually reducing its low-end product shipments while increasing the share of mid-to-high-end models. This shift helps strengthen its global presence and elevate its brand reputation.
In addition to the luxurious Porsche Design version, the Mate 10 Pro represents Huawei’s main offering for mass consumers this year. What makes it stand out? That’s exactly what I’ll explore in this review.
Let’s start by looking at the hardware specifications of the Huawei Mate 10 Pro:
As a flagship in the domestic smartphone market, the Mate series has always prioritized battery capacity and safety. Throughout the evolution of smartphones, the Mate series continues to refine its production process while maintaining a 4000mAh large battery, making the device slimmer and more comfortable to hold. Additionally, the Huawei Mate 10 series was the first to receive TÃœV Rheinland Express fast charging certification, providing users with greater confidence in battery performance and safety.
Beyond its long-lasting battery life, the Mate 10 Pro also features improvements in performance, camera quality, and audio. It introduces AI chips, IP67 dust and water resistance, PC connectivity, and other unique selling points. Despite rising component prices this year, Huawei only increased the price by 200 yuan, showing a commendable level of affordability.
Industrial Design
In terms of design, Huawei used advanced four-curve technology to demonstrate that “Jazz†can be both bold and stylish. The glass body exudes a soft, elegant, and warm feel, reminiscent of jade. This kind of beauty is rare within the Mate series. It’s clear that by moving away from the previous generation’s brushed metal design, the Mate 10 Pro breaks free from the tough and serious image, embracing a younger, avant-garde, and more neutral aesthetic that appeals to a wider audience.
The distinctive design of the Mate 10 Pro is largely due to the horizontal stripes on the back camera area, a feature borrowed from the P series. As the P series targets fashion-conscious users, integrating these elements into the Mate series adds a more fashionable touch. The same glass material is used, but the horizontal stripes are specially textured and plated to create varying visual effects depending on light and angle, giving a striking contrast effect.
Thanks to the high screen-to-body ratio and 18:9 display, the Mate 10 Pro offers an immersive viewing experience when browsing social media, watching movies, playing games, or using split-screen functions. Although some apps still don’t fully support the 18:9 aspect ratio, with industry trends evolving and supply chains improving, full-screen adoption will only accelerate.
With fingerprint sensors on the screen still not mass-produced and facial recognition having some limitations, the Mate 10 Pro opted for a back-mounted fingerprint sensor to achieve the 18:9 full-screen design. However, many users are concerned about two main issues: the sensor disrupts the back’s aesthetics, and its placement makes it inconvenient to use, affecting the overall user experience.
Fortunately, the fingerprint sensor on the Mate 10 Pro is aligned with the camera, and the spacing between them is just right—maintaining a clean look while ensuring ease of access for the user.
Overall, the Huawei Mate 10 Pro is a well-rounded device that balances performance, design, and innovation. Whether you're a tech enthusiast or a casual user, it offers something for everyone.
