Honor View10 Vs The Competition
Huawei’s sub-brand Honor globally launched the Honor View10 at an event in London on the 5th of December. At the time of the launch, the View10 was priced at 499 Euros which roughly translates to about Rs. 38000 in India but, considering the competitive pricing of the Honor 7X, it won’t be surprising if the Honor View10 is priced close to the 30K mark.
Irrespective of its Indian pricing, the View10 will enter the sub-40K category of flagship devices where the likes of the OnePlus 5T and Nokia 8 already exist. Just like the other two devices, the Honor View10 has a flagship chipset, a dual-camera setup and a great display to go with it. So, how does it stack up against the other sub-40K flagship devices? Let’s find out:

It will be interesting to see how Honor prices the Honor View10 considering the Indian market is extremely price-sensitive. With strong competition from the OnePlus 5T and Nokia 8, the Honor View10 will have an uphill task to sway the consumers towards the new entrant rather than the OnePlus 5T or even the Nokia 8.
