New Huawei Mate 10 Pro shows off bezel-less front, rear dual cam setup

There have been numerous leaks of the upcoming Mate devices from Huawei. This time, we get a closer look at what the Mate 10 Pro might look like. In front, we see the 5.9” EntireView display, which features a bezel-less 18:9 aspect ratio screen. On the back, we see an unusual interpretation of the dual camera setup, which makes it look like an alien to us. The Leica-branded dual camera setup have the two rumoured f/1.6 lenses stacked on top of each other with the LED flash and Laser AF are on either sides of the sensors. The last circle is the fingerprint sensor. This Pro version is said to be one of four versions of the Mate 10 coming out.

Huawei surpasses Apple as 'world's second-biggest smartphone maker'

Huawei has overtaken Apple Inc. as  the world's second biggest smartphone maker in terms of sales. Huawei surpassed Apple in sales for June and July, breaking the duopoly enjoyed by Apple and Samsung for at least five years according to figures from Counterpoint Research.

Apple has moved to third place, a position it hasn't seen since the heyday of BlackBerry and Nokia. Apple has held one of the top two spots since 2010 after unseating BlackBerry and later on Nokia, companies that are no longer considered serious platforms and merely serve as Android OEMs today.

Huawei's reign, however, is expected to be short as Apple is planning its biggest iPhone release in years starting next week. With multiple models expected to hit the market, the company is expected to rally in terms of sales even as initial supplies are expected to be constrained.

This means we might see a similar screen-to-body ratio as what we’ve been seeing lately in a lot of flagship devices. As expected, we’re being told it’s getting a dual camera setup (evidenced by an official tweet from Huawei Australia’s Twitter account).

Not much else is known at this point but as Android Authority says, we should expect the Mate 10 Pro to have things like better resolution display, more RAM, and a boost in internal storage, among others. We just have to wait until next month to find out.
