Huawei launches Honor V10 with 18:9 display and Kirin 970 chipset

Huawei’s latest smartphone Honor V10 which was rumored to be the blend of Mate 10 and Mate 10 Pro has launched. We have many reasons to believe that this smartphone is a better alternative for Huawei’s expensive flagships. The phone’s highlighted features are its latest Kirin 970 SoC and 18:9 display with reduced bezels.

The Honor V10 was one of the most anticipated phones of the year 2017. The phone comes with a 5.99” screen with 1,080 x 2,160px resolution, though it is an LCD rather than an AMOLED like the Mate 10. Despite having the Mate 10 Pro screen, the V10 has a fingerprint reader on the front like the vanilla Mate 10. This Honor gadget even kept the 3.5mm headphone jack, which other smartphones are missing.
