New | World’s first gigabit phone mingles with a blast from the past in Barcelona
Latest offerings at Mobile World Congress 2017 include most expensive camera, fastest phone and a screen that covers 80 per cent of the front surface
A number of the world’s biggest smartphone brands unveiled their latest products this week in Barcelona during the Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2017.
Here’s a list of some of the latest offerings, including the most expensive camera, the fastest speed, a screen that covers 80 per cent of the front surface, and yes, a reincarnation of a 17-year old model.
The Shenzhen-based company launched an enhanced iteration of its successful P9 model, which placed Huawei on the map as a world class smartphone maker, called the P10, along with a larger sibling called the P10 Plus.
The P10 sports a 5.1-inch 1080p display, powered by Huawei’s own Kirin 960 processor. The phone runs on 4GB RAM and 64 GB internal storage, with a 3,200 mAh battery. Still featuring an 8-megapixel front camera co-engineered with Leica, the P10 also comes with two rear cameras with 12-megapixel and 20-megapixel sensors. While the P9 featured a global marketing campaign with Scarlet Johansson, the P10 comes with a palette of eight fashionable colours, two of which are set by Pantone called “Dazzling Blue” and “Greenery.”
The P10 will be pre-installed with GoPro Inc’s Quik editing software, allowing users to analyse photos and video clips stored in the phone, and generate videos with special effects and music.
