An Artistic Photography Studio in Your Hands
The HUAWEI P10’s new Leica Dual-Camera 2.0 and Huawei P10 Plus’ Leica Dual-Camera 2.0 Pro Edition, featuring the rear dual-camera set up and Leica front camera, enable consumers to explore the full range of portrait photography. With a 20-megapixel monochrome sensor, a 12-megapixel RGB sensor and enhanced fusion algorithms, the new P Series delivers superior technical and artistic photography features on a smartphone.

The devices’ portrait features include a precise 3D facial detection technology that leverages 190 detailed identification nodes for quicker, more accurate feature recognition. Facial detection is the foundation of Huawei’s dynamic illumination and portrait enhancement features.
The Leica front camera includes a new F/1.9 aperture and an all-new sensor that captures more light. Portrait features are also available with the 8-megapixel front camera for exceptional selfies. The HUAWEI P10 and HUAWEI P10 Plus automatically detects whether a user is taking a selfie or an adaptive selfie with multiple people. If the device detects an adaptive selfie, it switches to wide-angle mode.
The HUAWEI P10 Plus features the Leica Dual-Camera 2.0 Pro Edition. This includes new custom-made Leica SUMMILUX-H lenses with a larger F/1.8 aperture and higher optical capability – the most advanced lens ever used on smartphones. The SUMMILUX range is two grades higher than the P10’s SUMMARIT-H lens, andboasts of 4K shooting, 20MP+12MP sensors, and Optical Image Stabilization (OIS). These versatile lenses capture sharp close-ups, quick actions shots and more light in low-light conditions.

The 100 Portraits taken with the Huawei P10 by local portrait experts, Veejay Villafranca, Larry Monserate Piojo and Dookie Ducay were showcased in an exhibit at the Experiential Area during the Huawei P10 and P10 Plus Grand Launch. Different booths built for taking low-light, bokeh, and monochrome portraits were staged around the area for guests to test the versatility of the second generation Leica dual camera technology of the new devices.
Co-developed with GoPro, the HUAWEI P10 and HUAWEI P10 Plus also feature Highlights, a mobile editing tool which creates a dynamic vide o of users’ images and 4K resolution videos complete with transitions and music tracks – the first in any smartphone. Highlights can be shared with friends and family in just a few simple taps.
Iconic P Series Design with On-trend Touches
Huawei’s design team introduced the industry’s first Hyper Diamond-Cut finishing, in addition to the refined sandblast and high gloss finishes.
The HUAWEI P10 and HUAWEI P10 Plus are also available in a selection of unique colors as a result of the first cross-industry partnership with the Pantone Color Institute, the world’s foremost authority on color. With the partnership, two new colorways were created: The Dazzling Blue and the Pantone Color of the Year 2017, Greenery.

The Hyper Diamond-Cut finish will be available in Dazzling Blue and Dazzling Gold. Greenery will be available with a sandblast finish, and will be hitting Philippine shores soon.
Following the iconic P Series design, the HUAWEI P10 is sleek and slim for a comfortable hold at 6.98mm. Both its 5.1-inch and 5.5-inch models feature the latest Corning Gorilla 5 Glass protection and narrow bezel edges, while the HUAWEI P10 Plus has a 2K display for more detail.
In addition to a metal finish for a minimalistic, clean design, the HUAWEI P10 and HUAWEI P10 Plus’ fingerprint sensor is now on the front of the phone and lies under one continuous pane of glass.
Exceptional Performance Advancements for Efficiency and Connectivity
The HUAWEI P10 and HUAWEI P10 Plus take smartphone efficiency and customization a step further thanks to the powerful Kirin 960 processor and all-new EMUI 5.1. Kirin 960 is Huawei’s latest high-performance SoC chipset. The CPU delivers the best multicore performance among all SoCs, and the GPU boasts a 180 percent improvement in performance and a 40 percent increase in power efficiency.
Building on the revolutionary EMUI 5.0, EMUI 5.1 goes a step beyond with UX improvements, performance optimization and several new features. Specifically, the machine learning algorithm learns users’ behaviors and can anticipate app usage to intelligently allocate and recycle system resources.
Layered on top of the machine learning algorithm is HUAWEI Ultra Memory. First, the machine learning algorithm learns how users use their phones. Then, HUAWEI Ultra Memory anticipates app usage and manages RAM, so the apps and services used most often load faster and outperform in multitasking. EMUI 5.1 also improves touch response with a faster touch control driver, predictive touch tracking and parallel graphics rendering, enhancing the smoothness of the user experience.
With 3,200 and 3,750 mAh batteries, the HUAWEI P10 and HUAWEI P10 Plus support HUAWEI SuperCharge technology. The low voltage, low temperature fast charging solution comes with a super safe 5-gate protection mechanism, which offers real-time voltage, current and temperature monitoring to make charging not only fast but safe.
The Kirin 960 and EMUI 5.1 enable a more advanced communications experience and superior network connectivity. The HUAWEI P10 Plus features 4×4 MIMO (four physical antennas) with support for the 4.5G network. This allows for faster and more stable connections in more areas, even when the signal coverage weakens. Both the HUAWEI P10 and HUAWEI P10 Plus feature 2X2 Wi-Fi MIMO (two antennas) for fast Wi-Fi speed coverage. For users requiring faster, more accurate navigation via maps and applications, HUAWEI HiGeo technology combines multi-sensory predictive tracking and offline big data to enable GPS and cell network location detection, making it easy to navigate almost anywhere.
