Huawei Mate 10 launch imminent as Mate 9 price slashed

It seems like the launch of Huawei Mate 10 is fast approaching. We say this as the price of its predecessor has been slashed significantly in China.

Usually, manufacturers try to clear the stock of previous year's flagship just before the launch of new one. So this is why Huawei is offering the Huawei Mate 9 at a discounted price. As per the information, we have obtained so far, the Huawei Mate 10 is expected to launch on October 16. However, the sudden price cut hints towards an early launch.

Going by the speculations, the Huawei Mate 10 will flaunt a bezel-less, full-screen display. The display will be a 5.8-inch 2K one with the aspect ratio higher than that of the Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus. Some reports also suggest that the fingerprint scanner will be placed below the display. On the optics front, the successor of last year's Huawei 9 is rumored to arrive with four cameras.

The vertically aligned rear dual camera setup will be comprised of two 34MP sensors and will be accompanied by a LED flashlight. While the front-facing dual camera is said to have two 16MP sensors.

Additionally, the smartphone is expected to be powered by the Kirin 970 processor and it will probably run on Android 7.1.1 Nougat right out of the box. That being said, the Huawei Mate 10 could also ship with Android 8.0 O on board with Huawei's latest EMUI skin on top.
