Huawei CEO drops first hints on Mate 10

I think the Mate 9's camera feature was designed to be an actual camera for people who like to spend time taking pictures.

Point and shoot is of course convenient, yet there are many who enjoy twisting dials and using a tripod to get the real shot.

The mate 9 certainly gives you a lot of manual controls. Looking at the iPhone 7 Plus... No manual controls. The mate 9 is capable in low light for those who enjoy using manual controls
 
I love my Mate 9, definitely the best I've had.
What would I like to see in Mate 10?
IP68 waterproofing, user replaceable battery of the same size, lower brightness setting for nighttime, brighter for sunshine (though it is better than many).
Camera: stabilisation - it is much harder to hold a phone steady than it is a camera. Better focus on close objects. Better low light capability.
Scrap the Huawei dialer, contacts, messaging and calendar and only pre-install Android standards. By all means offer their own as alternatives, but I like the same on all my devices.

What don't I want?
Please don't go thin display. The current trend for 2:1 screens is dreadful. It is only useful for films, and this is a generic use device masquerading as a phone. Stay with 16:9 or go the other way to 16:10.
 
Keep in mind a removable battery of the same size would need to be significantly larger than a non removable one.

With regards to 2:1, i really liked it for reading emails and websites... Gives me a little more length to read
 
I am not sure if the mate 10 would come to the USA off the bat though
That's right. The US won't see the Mate 10 any time soon after it's initial release just like the Honor 9. Huawei Honor's focus is not the US right now. Hardly if any of their profit shares comes from the US which is quite incredible being that they are still the third largest smartphone company worldwide and they have none of the US market yet. Once they fully jump in the US look for them to surpass Samsung in about a two year span. They will rule.

I am guessing that they tried a soft release of the honor 8 and mate 9 last year and it fell way short of their expectations.

So, for now they are focusing on areas where they are growing rapidly, so they can get the most growth with the least spent. Once they do those, they will then focus on the USA which would require significant marketing dollars.

I'm guessing either Black Friday or early December release on the Honor 9. That's an educated guess from the articles I've read with the US being the least on their priority list.

Do you have links to the articles which mentioned this time frame?

No there is no mention other than their focus is not on the US right now. That's just my guess on the Honor 9. The Mate 10 I have no clue on. The Honor 9 though has been out for a while and that timeframe suggests approriate timing to release it here to me.
 
Getting back Mate 10. Huawei pushing the device with at&t. I'm crossing my fingers for unlock US version.

That's awesome! Hopefully Huawei didn't have to give up providing an unlocked one for att to carry it.
 
I wonder if full screen disp would involve edges like the s8?

Either way, i am looking forward to the Mate 10!

"We will have an even more powerful product [than the next iPhone]" Yu said in an interview. "The Mate 10, which has much longer battery life with a full-screen display, quicker changing speed, better photographing capability and many other features that will help us compete with Apple."

This sounds amazing! But I'm afraid the Mate 10 will be too big for me. Either way, I'm super stoked to see it launch!

The Mate lineup has always been large phones. Perhaps the honor 9 would better suit you if you need a smaller phone
