The Huawei 10 is undoubtedly a very powerful contender in the flagship smartphone arena packing a hefty punch of specs along with a killer price as well. The Leica certified lenses only strengthen its hold in said arena.

The P10 may just be my favourite phone that Huawei has ever made. It's the design that really struck a chord for me, an all-metal body that mixes highly polished edges with an attractive micro-etched finish on the back.

The compact Huawei P10 is comfortable to hold and looks great; Its camera is awesome and it has oodles of power

It's expensive; the touch-sensitive navigation key is awkward to use and it's not waterproof

It might be a little off the pace but with great performance, excellent camera and good fingerprint sensor, the P10 is the Chinese firm's best phone to date

fast and responsive; great standby; great; fun cameras; good build; nice feel; microSD card support; privacy features

boring compared to rivals; battery life could be longer; no Google Assistant

The P10 story is one of steady improvement, rather than revolutionary change. But the odd thing is that the real action here is going on with the P10's bigger sibling, the 5.5inch display P10 Plus.

Here we are, at the end of all things. Tolkien fandom aside, Huawei did a fantastic job with the P10. The phone sports mostly great hardware, a superb camera, and even a better software experience.

Hardware The P10 is built really well and feels nice in the hand; The premium quality is readily apparent, Camera The Leica camera setup performs excellently in many different conditions.

Screen While the resolution; colors; and viewing angles are great; the lack of oleophobic coating and less-than-desirable brightness are not so good; Software EMUI 5 is no longer the eyesore of its predecessors; and 5.1 smooths things out a bit.

The Huawei P10 is an ultraslim metallic glass phone with dual cameras, a superfast processor, strong battery life and very generous storage from its 64GB of memory. It's impressive, but at launch it's too expensive. Look for the price to fall, and the P10 will be an outstanding, though quirky phone.

Big phones fit well in my hand and I don't mind using phones measuring 6 inches or less. However, I also love sliding a 5.1 inch phone into my front jeans or shorts pocket and feeling it disappear.

Outstanding design and feel in the hand; Very responsive with useful EMUI 5.1 UI; Fun camera software and solid performance; microSD expansion card slot; Unique single button navigation option

Display holds fingerprints; No high level water resistance

It's not often a phone is revealed in a green colour finish. Or "greenery" to give it full credit. Which, as it so happens, is Pantone's colour of the year 2017. It's also Huawei 's oh-so-on-trend colour for its brand new P10 smartphone.

More mature software from Huawei; slender and refined design; battery life is decent from a palm-sized phone; dual camera solution is fun; microSD card expansion or dual SIM; smooth operation and oodles of power on tap

Smeary fingerprints are a problem for the screen; default Themes still look jarring; P10 Plus a more appealing prospect (albeit larger device); camera bokeh effect can be overkill; moving fingerprint scanner to front was a bold move

The Huawei P10 camera experience is so stellar its photos will convince your friends you're a pro.

Astonishing camera; Great battery life; Ever-improving software; Wide color choice

Not officially sold in the U.S; No oleophobic coating on screen

The P10 is both attractive and derivative. I've used a lot of shameless iPhone clones from Chinese companies like Meizu and Vivo over the past year or so, and the P10 isn't in that category. It does, however, swerve pretty hard in the direction of Cupertino.

Attractive (if derivative) design; Great camera functionality; Solid performance and endurance

Staggeringly awful home button; Uninspired; unreliable software; Overpriced next to competition
