HUAWEI Mate 10 series specs: Better, faster, stronger

The HUAWEI Mate 10, Mate 10 Pro, and Porsche Design Mate 10 specs include the powerful Kirin 970 processor, dual Leica cameras, and differing displays.

October 16, 2017

Huawei’s Mate 9 and Mate 9 Pro featured some of the most top-of-the-line specifications by 2016’s standards, and the same can be said for the company’s 2017 flagships, the Mate 10, Mate 10 Pro, and Porsche Design Mate 10.

Here are the differences you need to know about HUAWEI’s Mate 10 lineup.

For starters, the Mate 10 Pro and Porsche Design Mate 10 are basically the same phone, save for the fancier chassis on the Porsche Design model. All three devices feature the recently announced Kirin 970 processor, the same rear-facing 12 and 20 MP dual Leica camera setup, and the same gigantic 4,000 mAh battery. There are a few big differences worth noting, however. The standard Mate 10 makes the jump up to a 5.9-inch Quad HD LCD display at a more traditional 16:9 aspect ratio, while the Mate 10 Pro and Porsche Design Mate 10 feature a 6.0-inch Full HD+ OLED display with an 18:9 aspect ratio.

They also differ in memory — the Mate 10 has 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of on-board storage, the Pro has either 4 or 6 GB of RAM and either 64 or 128 GB of storage, and the Porsche Design has 6 GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage. In addition, the Mate 10 comes with a microSD card slot and a 3.5 mm headphone jack, while neither the Pro nor Porsche Design models come with either of those features.

Below you’ll find the complete list of the HUAWEI Mate 10, Mate 10 Pro, and Porsche Design Mate 10 specs.
