The Huawei Mate 10 Pro smartphone will be available in the US starting February 18th, but it’s up for pre-order starting today.
As expected, the latest flagship from Huawei is a premium phone with a premium price: it’ll set you back $800. But folks who pre-order by February 17th from participating retailers will get a $150 gift card which sort of softens the blow… a bit.
The phone’s most interesting feature is probably the Kirin 970 processor with a dedicated neural processing unit (NPU) for hardware-accelerated object detection (using the camera app) and other computer vision and AI activities.
Other specs include:
• 6 inch, 2160 x 1080 pixel AMOLED display
• 6GB RAM
• 128GB storage
• 20MP mono + 12MP RGB Leica rear cameras
• 8MP front camera
• Rear fingerprint sensor
• 4,000 mAh battery
• IP67 dust and water resistance
• Android 8.0
