Reviews for the Huawei P10 Plus
Boosted performance? Huawei's P10 Plus is the larger and better equipped sibling of Huawei's P10 high-end smartphone that achieved "Very Good" in our rating. Will the 5.5-inch P10 Plus do an even better job? We put it to the test.

P10 Plus has many similarities with the classic P10, while their most significant difference lies in the dimensions. The display is now 5.5″ which will appeal to the users looking for bigger working space. What’s more, the resolution is also increased, so if you insist on the really high image detail, P10 Plus will provide it.

The Huawei P10 Plus is definitely a worthy upgrade over the old P9 Plus, it’s upgraded Leica dual camera system is the only reason that you will want to invest on if you are serious about smartphone photography, it also outperforms certain flagship smartphone cameras with great dynamic range and detail. Otherwise, smartphone performance is similar to the Honor 8 Pro, which costs RM1,000 less than the P10 Plus, or you could also consider the Mate 9 if you are particular about battery life.

While it’s a great device with a clean look, comfortable handling, and practical features, it’s not leading in benchmarks performance and it’s further hampered with middling battery life. The Kirin 960 processor is just a hair below the Snapdragon 820’s results. The Snapdragon 820 itself is already superseded by the better Snapdragon 821 and the current-generation Snapdragon 835. Fortunately for Huawei, the average phone buyer isn’t typically concerned with processor differences.

If you're a budget-minded Android user looking for a premium phone with a great camera, this handset is for you. If battery and a powerhouse chipset are your main concern, I’d look elsewhere.

The Huawei P10 Plus is a totally decent phone: it's got brisk performance, a camera that's more flexible than most, and a big, high-res screen. But at the same time, it's also a phone that's really difficult to feel very passionately for.

The Huawei software is much improved, so much so that I am very tempted to make the P10 Plus my daily driver and may just do so if I can get root access (stay tuned for my how to root your P10 and P10 Plus piece coming soon). You can change the theme to whatever you want or you can make your own fairly easily using the plethora of EMUI theme factory apps on the Play Store. Huawei have ruined parts of the stock Nougat (the sharing and open with intents for starters) but most of their enhancements really are enhancements.

The Huawei P9 was a huge success for the Chinese manufacturer, being the first smartphone from the company to reach over 10 million sales worldwide. The partnership with famed glass maker Leica proved to be a worthwhile investment, even if those sample images generated a bit of controversy. Creating a successor was always going to be a difficult move for Huawei, as the handset needs to excel in some very crucial areas. Will it be able to take the camera even further and continue to impress, or is this just an incremental upgrade? Let’s find out…

Getting your hands on a P10 Plus will cost you roughly R13 999 if you opt for the 6 GB RAM, 128 GB onboard storage model. While crossing the R10k threshold is always going to be a tough ask for consumers, if the camera performance of a flagship device is important to you, then the option on the P10 Plus is certainly worth it.

Huawei's phones have arguably been the most innovative in recent years. The P10 Plus is an impressive flagship with an outstanding camera and no real weak point (except for annoying low-light camera performance).

The recent Huawei P-type smartphones place huge emphasis on their photography features, thanks to their collaboration with Leica. Ever since the Huawei P9, Leica and Huawei have begun working even more closely for better mobile photography. More work has gone behind the P10 Plus's cameras, such as implementing new lenses, and an overhaul to its algorithms.

The P10 and P10 Plus are fast. At least they are when using LPDDR4 RAM and UFS 2.0 NAND like both of our review units. It would have been nice to receive a unit with a different memory type (assuming Huawei is actually shipping units with slower hardware) to explore the performance impact, but that’s outside our control.

In the brief time we spent with the P10 and P10 Plus, we didn't really find that much which completely blew us away, but on the other hand we didn't find much to dislike either. It's exactly what you'd expect from a flagship Android phone in 2017 – nothing more, and nothing less – which means the answer to the question of "should you buy this?" largely comes down to whether you've used Huawei phones before and liked them. If you have, then you're going to like the P10.

But of course, they aren’t really cameras with phone functionality. They are really Android phones with excellent cameras. They are powered by octacore Kirin 960 processors (up to 4 by 2.4GHz and 4 by 1.8GHz), run Android 7.0 Nougat with Huawei’s EMUI 5.1 skin and have 8 megapixel f/1.9 selfie cameras. And they have a fast charge capability.

The P10 Plus is a top-specced contender with a top-specced price. The main rivals in the Android world are all more expensive, and in their own way, flawed too. Samsung's S8 is a strong phone, and boasts the waterproofing and wireless charging missing here, but the placement of its fingerprint sensor right next to the main camera - apparently a last minute design decision because the under-glass fingerprint sensor wasn't sufficiently reliable - is already causing much annoyance. Google's ludicrously priced Google Pixel has a fine camera but a much inferior display and bafflingly, no expandable storage. By comparison the Huawei is a solid design, a Volvo maybe, but at an Audi price.

We review the Huawei P10 Plus, a super-sized version of Huawei’s P10 flagship phone boasting more premium specs. Here’s what we think of the P10 Plus after using it as our full-time mobile for over a week.

Huawei P10 Plus is by far the best device by Huawei but it is little bit expensive. The device has some massive features like 128GB ROM, 6GB RAM, dual back camera lens and many others. Design section has resemblance with IPhone 7 Plus and it can compete with its other competitors such as IPhone 7 Plus, Samsung C9 Pro and many others. We have tested the device and it has given us brilliant results.

Huawei has priced the P10 at AED 1899 for a 64GB version while the P10 Plus comes at AED 2599 for a 128GB version with 6GB RAM. With the P10 Plus you're also getting an iR sensor and a bit of water resistance. Deciding between them purely comes down to a personal preference.

Having used the P10 Plus for a week, we know for sure that we won't be stepping back into the smaller P10 (despite having the more exciting looking blue colour in that device). Why? Because the Plus is the better device. And while it's not quite as budget as was suggested at Huawei's unveiling press conference, it's still worth its asking price considering everything that's on board.

The high price of the Huawei P10 Plus means that it should have had the book thrown at it in terms of specifications and features. With that in mind, there are some issues that are difficult to forgive: the screen is a fingerprint magnet; the single speaker could deliver better-quality audio and more volume; and arguably it should be water resistant and support wireless charging. I would have preferred the fingerprint sensor on the back of the phone, although its positioning on the front does allow for gesture controls.

There's no right or wrong way to end a story, but it would be unfair to the P10 and the P10 Plus to not give them what they well deserve. Huawei simply did a good job. The P-series has come a long way, thanks in no small part to strategic partnerships in design and imaging. Huawei's own Kirin 960 chipset (HiSilicon's a Huawei subsidiary) is another major part of the equation.

The P10 Plus is another solid smartphone from Huawei offering attractive design, high-end hardware and much improved software. However, it's missing a few features compared to rivals such as waterproofing and wireless charging. The phone is also pretty expensive so you're probably better-off getting the regular P10 or even cheaper options like the OnePlus 3T or Honor 8 Pro.

The P10 Plus is Huawei’s best phone to date. It isn't perfect, but it ticks most of the boxes for an impressive 2017 flagship. It’s fast, looks attractive and has an excellent-sized display. The Leica-engineered camera is ace too, and the wider aperture makes a huge difference when comparing it to the regular Huawei P10.

We thought the regular P10 was a great Android phone, with few flaws beyond screen resolution and battery life - which were both average, rather than flagship-worthy.

The Huawei P10 and P10 Plus are not perfect, but they are about as close as it is possible to get right now. They offer almost all the benefits of the larger Mate 9 flagship but in smaller, more manageable form factors. To put this is in perspective, most smartphones in the 5.1-inch range don’t have half the features of the regular P10, and the P10 Plus can comfortably hold its own against any of the 5.5-inch flagships around right now, even if some might argue it’s a little overpriced.

Personally, the whole oleophobic kerfuffle with the Huawei P10 has considerably dampened my enthusiasm for these phones. This is a core hardware feature which has been the norm in just about every flagship smartphone for the past decade. The P10 forces me to choose between two bad options: leave the screen protector on and deal with a display that feels like crappy plastic, or take it off and live in a frustrating hellscape of screen smudges.

Avec ce P10 Plus, Huawei livre enfin son smartphone le plus haut de gamme qui ne se contente pas d’être une version plus grande du P10, mais vient l’améliorer sur un point clé : l’appareil photo. La marque chinoise veut, via son partenariat avec Leica, s’imposer sur le marché des photophones. Après avoir changé la manière dont on prend des photos sur smartphones avec le Huawei P9, la marque améliore encore sa formule.

Considering the P10 Plus is slated to cost only €50 more than the regular P10 – €649 vs €699 – it seems the larger handset is the one to go for. Benefits include a wider aperture camera, higher-resolution screen, decent 3,750mAh battery, all the while maintaining a thin and sleek design. What's not to like?

On first look, there are a lot of reasons to like the P10 Plus. It's a nice evolution from the P9 Plus which we liked, and with the improved cameras and much better software experience with EMUI 5.1 and Android Nougat, we're very much looking forward to testing it further.

Model:
The Huawei P10 Plus was one of the headliners at the MWC. It is also Huawei’s best phone to date. The smartphone is built to redefine modern portraiture through the lens of the Huawei P10 Plus, so the camera of the phone is the main attraction. The camera of the Huawei P10 Plus is the same unit used in the Huawei Mate 9; the Leica Dual Camera 2.0 Pro Edition carries two SUMMILUX-H lenses with a larger aperture (f/1.8). The result of it is 4K shooting, 20MP+12MP sensors, Optical Image Stabilisation and superior low-light photography. The camera also uses precise 3D facial detection, dynamic illumination, and natural portrait enhancements to produce stunning artistic portrait shots in Leica image style. The all new Leica front camera captures 2x more light, offering amazing self-portraits, whether day or night. Huawei P10 Plus even senses groupies and automatically switches to wide-angle shots when more people enter the picture. Huawei has been improving its basic design for some time now, tweaking its formula with every release of new smartphone models. The P-series has been all about perfecting and promoting smartphone craftsmanship and sophisticated elegance. A notable change from the P9 is the placement of the fingerprint sensor. Previously, it sat just below the camera sensors on the rear of the phone; in the P10 Plus, it moves to the front so it can even be unlocked while sitting on a desk. The P10 Plus can be picked up in three distinct finishes. It doesn't only refer to colour. These include Ceramic White, Dazzling Blue, Dazzling Gold, Prestige Gold, Graphite Black, Mystic Silver, Rose Gold, and Greenery.
Under the hood, the Huawei P10 Plus uses machine learning and the new ultra-fast Kirin 960 processor to keep the P10 Plus’s performance at the peak of its game. Coupled with HUAWEI Ultra Memory technology that intelligently allocates, recycles, and compresses memory, apps load faster than on its predecessors. It also comes with 6GB of RAM. The phone packs 128GB of internal storage that can be expanded by up to 256GB via a microSD card. As for the display, the Huawei P10 Plus has a 5.5-inch IPS-NEO LCD panel at a resolution of 1440 x 2560 pixels. At 540ppi, it is definitively sharper than the 1080p P10. Sunlight legibility is pretty good, especially for an LCD. The P10 Plus remains perfectly usable outdoors, which is a strong testament to the second merit of the IPS-NEO panel after the above-average contrast with relatively deep blacks. The Huawei P10 Plus is powered by a sealed 3,750mAh battery. The phone ships with a beefy charger capable of outputting 5V/4.5A, 4.5V/5A, and 5V/2A, with a maximum power of 22.5W. Low voltage ratings also allow all the internal components to remain cool during charging. The Huawei P10 Plus is a dual SIM (GSM and GSM) smartphone that accepts two Nano-SIM cards. The P10 plus is a surprisingly powerful and flagship-like phone. It is priced close to the midrange section, but features specs that can match some flagship devices. In some ways, the Huawei P10 Plus is a major competition to their very own Mate 9 Pro.
