So Huawei has quietly in the background unveiled their flagship. Besides some weird design decision on the Pro, this phone looks quite solid.

After getting both major hardware failures with my single nexus 6p, not sure if I want to get another Huawei device (even if neither of the failures were on parts they manufactured).

Both look like pretty solid phones. I really liked my 6p (till the battery screw-up), hopefully these don't come with the same issues.

Though I have got to say, this metric/promise feels a bit weird to see mentioned in a press release...

I got burned pretty hard by them with Nexus 6P, so I don't think I'll be giving them another chance anytime soon.

If this comes to the US, I might get one for work, though.

The 6P battery issue seems to be that trademark Google QA/QC culprit. All Nexus phones have had this issue.

Huawei’s own phones i.e. Honor/Mate don’t seem to have these issues, atleast I’m not aware of issues.

Did any other phones with the same CPU get the bootloop issue? I know that's on Qualcom but why seemingly limited to the nexus models?

*wipes sweat*

I just got my Honor 6x delivered today.

 

[sixteen-bit]

How good are the cameras on this in practice? Are they just paying to use the Leica name?

 

[bennywhatever]

Looks pretty sweet. I'm guessing they'll be in the $450-$600 price range judging by the specs?

Huawei phones (especially flagships like this one) are super legit.

On topic, the regular mate 10 looks nice

Got burnt by Huawei's software before, never again tbh.
