Honor 10 review: Reflections of a flagship

Buy Now: Honor 10 With high-end phones increasing in price every year, it seems almost inevitable that we’ll see far more OEMs attempt to crack the bubbling sub-flagship market. Samsung, Motorola, and more recently Nokia, have all …

Based on recent rumors and a leaked in-the-wild image, the Honor Note 10 will sport a behemoth 6.9-inch Quad HD+ FullView display with thin bezels. Battery-wise, the Note 10 will reportedly pack a whopping 6,000mAh cell alongside 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage.

There are still some question marks over the SoC Honor has chosen for its latest phablet, with both the familiar Kirin 970 (with GPU Turbo) and the recently revealed Kirin 710 chipset both being thrown into the rumor mill. It seems likely that Honor will play up the Note 10’s gaming capabilities, so fans will likely be hoping Honor goes for the top-end HiSilicon processor.

Pricing and availability are both still up in the air. The former may be especially important if Honor wants to go toe-to-toe with Xiaomi’s latest phablet offering, the Mi Max 3, which starts at ~$252. The phone’s predecessor, the Note 8, sat firmly in the sub-flagship camp with a $345 asking price, so Honor may be targeting a more discerning audience after a powerful phone for gaming that won’t break the bank.

We’ll know for sure in just over a week’s time. For now, let us know what you want to see from the Honor Note 10 in the comments below.
