Huawei’s Honor sub-brand outs what looks like a cheaper Huawei P20

It might seem like Huawei is cannibalizing itself through its sub-brand Honor. But if the prices of the new Huawei P20 are a bit too steep for you, Honor is an option you might want to check out. The Honor 10 brings a lot of the features of the P20 to the more budget-conscious user. It sports the same Kirin 970 octa-core processor, up to 6GB of RAM (the P20 only has 4GB of RAM), 128GB internal storage, and fast-charging 3,400mAh battery. It gets a 24-megapixel selfie camera, too. Where it differs with the P20 is in the dual rear camera setup. This features a 16-megapixel sensor paired with a 24-megapixel monochrome sensor. The P20 comes with the Leica-engineered 12-megapixel/20-megapixel combo.

It even has this shifting colored rear panel similar to the P20 Pro but Honor calls its version Phantom Blue. You get a notched LCD display on the Honor 10 as well and it’s a bit larger than the P20’s at 5.84 inches. You also get a fingerprint sensor on the chin of the phone. Pricing is the biggest differentiator here. The prices of the Honor 10 is €399 (approx. CA$600) for the 64GB version, €449 (approx. CA$670) for the 128GB version, and Rs. 33,000 for the 6GB/128GB version. No word on whether this phone is making its way to this side of world just yet.

Honor 10 unveiled in China with dual-camera and notch on display

Another day, another smartphone with a dual-camera and an iPhone X notch. This time, however, we are seeing an iridiscent Twilight finish on the Honor 10, which is from Huawei's sub-brand. Coming to the Chinese market. An interesting about the Honor 10's colour scheme is that it is prismatic and varies in colour between shades of blue, purple and pink. Color as a differentiator when camera and processor specs are more or less the same is catching on.

While one can argue that Huawei and, by extension Honor, have copied some very visible aspects of other popular phones, they are actually leading the industry with this color treatment and on a new smartphone, not a model that was released last year and sprayed with a new coat of paint.
