Huawei launches Mate 10 Pro with built-in AI to challenge Apple and Samsung

Huawei's new Mate 10 Pro takes aim squarely at Samsung, Google and Apple with a large screen, competition-beating big battery and AI baked in. The Mate 10 Pro is the latest in third-largest smartphone manufacturer Huawei's big-screen line, which has become popular for its battery life and multitasking prowess. The new top-end Huawei features a 6in, 18:9 elongated OLED screen, matching its Samsung rivals with tiny bezels at the side, top and bottom, which are only just big enough to fit the front-facing camera and sensors at the top and company logo at the bottom. The back of the phone is curved glass, with metal sides that feel significantly more premium than previous Mate smartphones, matching the level of build-quality and design of rivals. "The Mate 10 shows Huawei can now produce devices that can really compete with the quality of flagship devices like Apple," said Francisco Jeronimo, research director for European mobile devices at research firm IDC.
