Just give me this phone and i will be iphone cured!

Huawei, the third largest smartphone maker in the world, isn’t playing that game. The company just launched its new flagships, the P10 and the P10 Plus, at a Mobile World congress event in Barcelona. 

In terms of specs, both the Huawei P10 and P10 Plus have a 960 Kirin chipset (the latest and greatest from Huawei’s HiSilicon chip-making company), 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage. It can also be had in a 6GB variant. One of the phones we tried only had 2GB of RAM and 16GB storage; perhaps it was the unannounced Huawei P10 Lite.

The screen is also different; the P10 has a full HD, 5.2-inch screen, while the P10 Plus has a 5.5, 2K screen.

The Leica-branded dual cameras on the back are a combination of a 20-megapixel monochrome and 12-megapixel color sensors, similar to what the Huawei Mate 9 has. The P10 Plus will have the same resolution, but with better, Summilux-H lenses. The selfie camera has an 8-megapixel sensor on both phones.

Finally, the P10 sports a 3,200mAh battery, while the P10 Plus has a 3,750mAh battery; the batteries on both phones support fast charging.

On the software side, both phones come with Android 7.0 and Huawei’s EMUI 5.1, which brings several improvements to the table. One is better utilization of available RAM memory — Huawei calls this “ultra memory” — and faster screen response, thanks to a new driver for the touch controller and predictive finger tracking. The phone also helps you organize your photos and create galleries and animations, like Google Photos.
