The Mate 10 Pro will feature an edge-to-edge display design.
Huawei is all set to unveil the Mate 10 and Mate 10 Pro on October 16 in Berlin, Germany. The company has confirmed that the smartphones will feature the newly-launched Kirin 970 SoC, and sport a dual-camera setup as well. Even so, the Mate 10 and Mate 10 Pro keep showing up in leaks consistently with all the details and design revealed. In the latest, live images from Weibo reveal the design of the Mate 10 Pro, just three days after its alleged press renders were leaked.
First reported by 91 Mobiles, the alleged Mate 10 Pro’s front and back panel is shown in the live images. Staying true to past leaks, the Mate 10 Pro sports thin bezels on top and bottom, and almost no bezels on the sides. Replacing the Home button are four on-screen controllers. At the rear, the dual-camera setup is visible with the sensors placed vertically. The circular fingerprint sensor is placed just below the dual cameras. The back panel appears to sport a glossy look, but that cannot be confirmed as yet.
According to past rumors, the Huawei Mate 10 is expected to feature a 5.9-inch ‘EntireView’ display with 18:9 aspect ratio, while the Mate 10 Pro will flaunt an even bigger EntireView display with the same 18:9 aspect ratio, and 90 percent screen-to-body ratio. Both the Mate 10 and Mate 10 Pro are said to pack 4,200mAh battery. On the software front, the smartphones will most likely run Android 7.1 Nougat out-of-the-box.
