The Honor 10 Lite is an upcoming smartphone by the Chinese smartphone manufacturer. While the company has announced that the device will be launching on the 21st of November, a listing has revealed some the specifications of the device.
The Honor 10 Lite is a cheaper alternative to the Honor 10. As the name suggests, the device will be lighter on your pocket and will also have some toned down specs when compared to the Honor 10. Some earlier reports that speculated it is just another rebranded Huawei device. However, it is not so and we will see the launch of a brand new device.
Honor 10 Lite Specs
Listed on Huawei’s on online store and Vmall, some of the specifications of the device have been leaked. These include the fact that it will run on the Kirin 710 chipset. It will also have GPU Turbo pre-installed. GPU Turbo is a technology used by the Chinese manufacturer to ensure that the gaming performance of its devices are boosted, even if it does not have a well performing GPU. Other features include a 5.84 inch LCD display with a 19:9 aspect ratio.
The phone is said to have a dual rear camera setup, which is vertically aligned, as seen in most of the Honor phones these days. No details about the camera specifications are available as of now. The back will also sport a physical fingerprint sensor for securely unlocking the device. It is also expected to have a gradient finish like most of the Honor devices these days.
The device is expected to have a battery with Huawei SuperCharge compatibility. It will run EMUI 9.0 based on Android 9 Pie out of the box, according to reports. The Honor 10 Lite is available for pre-order until its launch date, which is November 21st.
Asus has launched a new flagship smartphone in India, the Asus Zenfone 5Z. At a starting price of Rs 29999, it is the most affordable smartphone in India running on the latest Snapdragon 845 chipset. The Taiwanese smartphone maker has nailed the pricing for the Indian market as the Zenfone 5Z competes with the OnePlus 6 and Honor 10. All three smartphones are marquee devices for their respective companies in the Indian market and feature flagship-grade specifications.
As has been the industry trend for a while now, all three smartphones have an all-glass build and design. Despite the similar build quality, all three smartphones feature a different finish on the glass. Essentially, the devices have a unique way of reflecting light and no two devices have a similar implementation here. It is hard to differentiate here and would boil down to personal preferences. The OnePlus 6 does have more colour options to choose from, recently launching the OnePlus 6 Red Edition.
The Asus Zenfone 5Z has a 6.2 inch Super IPS+ display with a 2246 x 1080 px resolution. The OnePlus 6 has a 6.28 inch Optic AMOLED display with a 2280 x 1080 px resolution while the Honor 10 has a 5.84 inch IPS LCD display and the same resolution. The OnePlus 6 has an AMOLED display which is known for producing more accurate colours.
Where the Zenfone 5Z and OnePlus 6 feel similar, the Honor 10 stands out. The Honor 10 runs on the HiSilicon Kirin 970 chipset with 6GB of RAM. The other two run on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 chipset. The flagship chipset is coupled with either 6GB or 8GB of RAM. Both the OnePlus 6 and Zenfone 5Z are available in three storage variants, 64GB, 128GB and 256GB.
Ever since the launch of the iPhone X, Face Unlock has been a fairly talked-about feature in smartphones. None of the devices miss out on jumping on that bandwagon but, it is software-based and not the most secure authentification way. The fingerprint sensor on the Zenfone 5Z and OnePlus 6 is placed on the back, albeit, different shapes. The Honor 10, on the other hand, has an invisible ultrasonic fingerprint sensor that can also detect a wet finger. It is also front-facing since it is housed inside the chin of the smartphone.
While most of the flagship specifications are similar to each other, these smartphones hugely differ when it comes to the optics. The Honor 10 has a 16MP RBG primary sensor and a 24MP secondary monochrome sensor. The OnePlus 6 takes a different route with two RGB sensors. It has a 16MP Sony IMX 519 sensor and a 20MP Sony IMX 376K sensor. The newly launched Zenfone 5Z has a 12MP primary sensor with an f/1.8 aperture and an 8MP wide-angle secondary sensor with a 120º field of view.
As a result of drastically different implementations, the cameras on these smartphones have their own advantages. However, it is worth noting that both the OnePlus 6 and Zenfone 5Z feature OIS and EIS while the Honor 10 misses out on both the features. The Honor 10 also doesn’t record 4K videos at 60fps.
At a price of Rs 29999, the Asus Zenfone 5Z is the most affordable flagship smartphone in India. It also holds its own in front of the OnePlus 6 and Honor 10, on paper, at least. We will soon be comparing the three devices in depth for a much clearer winner.
OnePlus launched the OnePlus 6 in India at a starting price of Rs 34999. The base model has 6GB of RAM and 64GB of onboard storage. One day before the OnePlus 6 launch, Huawei’s sub-brand Honor launched the Honor 10 at a price of Rs 32999. Both the smartphones have flagship specifications and interesting design language. Both the devices also have a notch, however, the OnePlus 6 has a thinner chin while the Honor 10 has a thick chin but, also features a front-facing ultrasonic fingerprint sensor.
The OnePlus 6 has a bigger display and a smaller notch along with an all-glass design. Both the front and back of the smartphone is covered with Corning Gorilla Glass 5 giving it a solid build quality. The Honor 10 also has an all-glass design with an aluminium frame. The glass design on both the smartphones gives them a very premium look.
Both the smartphones are powered by different flagship chipsets. The OnePlus 6 runs on the Snapdragon 845 chipset while the Honor 10 runs on the HiSilicon Kirin 970. The Honor 10 will be available in only one variant with 6GB of RAM and 128GB storage. The OnePlus 6 will be available in two variants, in the beginning, one with 6GB of RAM and 64GB storage while the other one will have 8GB RAM and 128GB storage. The 8GB RAM and 256GB storage variant will be available in the Silk White colour variant later on in the year.

The Honor 10 takes a lot of design cues from the Huawei P20 Pro. The notch on the display is the same size as the P20 Pro and the all-glass design is reminiscent of the Huawei flagship smartphone. Right off the bat, you’ll realise that this a slippery phone thanks to its build quality. The glass finish means that the back of the device is also a fingerprint sensor. It is best adviced to either use a case or a skin for a better grip.
The front of the smartphone is dominated by the 5.84 inch IPS LCD display with a 2280 x 1080 px resolution. The notch can be hidden using software which will turn the display into an 18:9 aspect ratio.
Running everything under the hood is the company’s own flagship SoC, the HiSilicon Kirin 970. That is coupled with 6GB of RAM and 128GB storage. The flagship chipset can handle anything you throw at it and day-to-day usage is a breeze. The Honor 10 runs a highly customised version of Android 8.1 Oreo. For users who crave an app drawer and stock Android, there is always the Pixel Launcher.
Powering the smartphone is a 3400 mAh battery which charges via a USB C port. It is worth noting that despite having a glass back, the smartphone does not support wireless charging. It is SuperCharge compatible which should charge the phone faster than usual.
Honor has also touted AI capabilities of the Honor 10. AI seems to have become a very marketable term for smartphone makers these days. According to Honor, AI 2.0 can detect dynamic pictures more accurately. The phone’s AI 2.0 can also process Prisma-like image effects twice as fast as the iPhone X.
The smartphone has a dual-camera setup on the back, consisting of a 16MP RGB sensor with an f/1.8 aperture and a 24MP Monochrome sensor. The rear cameras record 4K videos at 30fps. The notch on the display, along with the sensors and an earpiece, also houses a 24MP camera with an f/2.0 aperture. The front-camera only records 1080P videos at 30fps.
Huawei’s sub-brand Honor launched the Honor 10 in China on April 19th. At an event in London on May 15th, the company globally launched its new flagship smartphone. The Honor 10 will be available in only one variant in India. The smartphone will have 6GB RAM and 128GB storage and will be priced at Rs 32999. The Honor 10 will be available via Flipkart exclusively.
Like a lot of Android smartphones in 2018, the Honor 10 also has a notch on the display. The notch is smaller compared to the iPhone X and resembles the notch found on the Huawei P20 Pro and LG G7 ThinQ. The smartphone has an all-glass build with an aluminium frame giving it a premium and modern look.
The colour variants are also very interesting with the Honor 10. Two of the colour variants have a dual-tone colour of blue and pink and in the images at least, looks pretty fantastic. The fingerprint reader like expected is not embedded inside the display, instead, it is an invisible ultrasonic fingerprint sensor that can also detect a wet finger. It is also front-facing since it is housed inside the chin of the smartphone.
The Honor 10 has a 5.84 inch IPS LCD display with a 2280 x 1080 px resolution. The 19:9 aspect ratio will come in handy when users decide to hide the notch, forcing the display into a conventional 18:9 aspect ratio.
The new flagship smartphone runs on the HiSilicon Kirin 970 chipset, the same chipset found on the Huawei P20 Pro. The chipset is coupled with 6GB of RAM with 128GB of non-user expandable storage. There is a dual SIM slot but, no space for a microSD card. However, 128GB storage should suffice for most people, if not 64GB. Powering the smartphone is a 3400 mAh battery with SuperCharge compatibility.
Honor also claims that the Honor 10’s dual-camera setup has a lot of AI capabilities. The company is betting big on the device’s AI capabilities, which Honor is calling “AI 2.0.” According to Honor, AI 2.0 can detect dynamic pictures more accurately. The phone’s AI 2.0 can also process Prisma-like image effects twice as fast as the iPhone X.

Honor launched the Honor 10 in China on the 19th of April. The smartphone will launch in India on the 15th of May and the device will take on the soon to be launched OnePlus 6. The OnePlus 6 will launch in India on the 17th of May and has been highly anticipated for a while. The Honor 10 will be sold as a Flipkart exclusive.
The Honor 10 will be priced at Rs 32999 and take on the OnePlus 6. The OnePlus 6 is expected to be priced at Rs 34999 for the base model with 6GB and 64GB storage.

The flagship chipset is coupled with 6GB of RAM and 64GB/128GB of storage which is expandable up to 256GB via a microSD card.

The phone’s AI 2.0 can also process Prisma-like image effects twice as fast as the iPhone X.
The Honor 10 is an impressive smartphone, at least on paper, and should give the OnePlus 6 a run for its money. The Honor 10 also has very impressive colour variants which can be a big differentiating factor in times when specifications of devices are so similar.
Huawei’s sub-brand, Honor has launched its first flagship smartphone for 2018, the Honor 10. Much of what the Honor 10 has to offer was already leaked long before its launch. But, at least it is all official now and we have the official pricing of the smartphone as well. The Honor 10 will be available in two variants in China. The 6GB RAM/64GB storage will retail for CNY 2599 (Rs 27,200 approx.) and the 6GB RAM/128GB storage will be priced at CNY 2999 (Rs 31,400 approx.).
Two striking features of the smartphone are all about its design and the look. The first thing you notice about the smartphone is the notch on the display, which resembles the Huawei P20 series of smartphones. Unlike the iPhone X which has a lot of tech stuffed into that notch, the Honor 10 just houses a camera, earpiece and the necessary sensors.
Another exciting aspect of the Honor 10 is the colour variant. The smartphone has a dual-tone colour of blue and pink and in the images at least, looks pretty fantastic. The fingerprint reader like expected is not embedded inside the display, instead, it is an invisible ultrasonic fingerprint sensor that can also detect a wet finger. It is also front-facing since it is housed inside the chin of the smartphone.
Honor also claims that the Honor 10’s dual-camera setup has a lot of AI capabilities. The company is betting big on the device’s AI capabilities, which Honor is calling “AI 2.0.” According to Honor, AI 2.0 can detect dynamic pictures more accurately. The phone’s AI 2.0 can also process Prisma-like image effects twice as fast as the iPhone X.
The Honor 10 looks like an impressive smartphone with its top of the line specifications and a few interesting features. Whether this smartphone will hit the Indian shores is a completely different question since as of now, there are no details of that happening.
Huawei’s sub-brand, Honor launched has launched three very strong smartphones in India in the last few months. The Honor 7X, Honor View10 and the Honor 9 Lite have been very well received for the price-to-performance ratio in India and continue to do well in the Indian market. The company is preparing to launch another smartphone, the Honor 10 on the 19th of April in China. In new leaked renders of the upcoming smartphone, the different colour variants of the Honor 10 have been revealed.
While it has already been leaked that the Honor 10 will have an all-glass design, these new colour variants make the device look even better. The most interesting of the three colours is the Twilight colour that we first saw on the Huawei P20 and P20 Pro. The Twilight colour on the smartphone shifts between blue and pink under different lighting and a viewing angle. The other two colour variants of the Honor 10 will be Black and Teal. Even the Teal colour variant is something that you do not see on a lot of smartphones.
The Honor 10 will also follow an industry trend that not a lot of people are a fan of, the notch. The upcoming smartphone will have a notch very similar to the Huawei P20 and P20 Pro which will house the earpiece, necessary sensors and the front-facing camera. Apart from the horizontally placed dual-camera setup, the Honor 10 resembles the Huawei P20 Pro.
The Honor 10 is expected to have a 5.8 inch IPS LCD display with a 2280 x 1080 px resolution. This translates into a 19:9 aspect ratio which is important in this case. Like the Huawei P20 and P20 Pro, the Honor 10 might also have an option to hide the notch via software. This means that the screen real estate on either side of the notch will be lost.
Under the hood, the smartphone will run on the HiSilicon Kirin 970 chipset with a neural processing engine. This is the same chipset found on the Huawei P20 and P20 Pro. On the back of the smartphone will be a dual-camera setup with an LED flash. The notch on the front will house a 20MP front-facing camera.
The Honor 10 could be a China-exclusive smartphone and may never make its way to India. However, with the Honor View10 a few months old, the Honor 10 could be a perfect upgrade with a better design at a similar price. Stay tuned to iGyaan for the latest updates from the launch event.
The Honor 10 is an upcoming affordable flagship smartphone from Huawei’s sub smartphone brand Honor. The smartphone will launch in China on the 19th of April. There have been many leaks and rumours about the Honor 10. And now, a newly leaked render of the smartphones confirms the dual camera setup with an f/1.6 aperture.
The smartphone has a horizontal dual camera setup with a dual tone quad LED flash. The smartphone also has an engraving saying “DUAL LENS 1:1.6/27 ASPH”. In fact, the same quote is also found on the Huawei P20 and the P20 Pro, which confirms that the smartphone will have a dual camera setup similar to the Huawei P2o. The smartphone also has a curved glass design with a Twilight finish, which was introduced on the Huawei P20 series.
The OnePlus 6 is expected to launch close to the end of April in China. Just like the Honor 10, the OnePlus 6 will also eventually make its way to global markets such as India. In fact, the Honor View10 was launched a few days after the OnePlus 5T was unveiled, however, it went on sale in India almost two months after the OnePlus 5T. The Honor 10 will have a lot of similarities with the OnePlus 6 like an iPhone X style notch and an all-glass design. The OnePlus 6 might cost Rs 34,000 for the entry-level model. However, the Honor 10 is expected to be priced slightly lower than the OnePlus 6.
Huawei’s sub smartphone brand Honor will launch the Honor 10 in London on the 15th of April. Similarly, according to a press-invite, the company will launch the smartphone in Shanghai, China on the 19th of April. The Honor 10 is the successor to the Honor View10, which might borrow some of the design and camera traits from the recently launched Huawei P20 smartphone.
Going by the invitation, the company will launch the Honor 10 initially in its native country (China). Later on, the smartphone will be launched globally in London similar to the Honor View10. The smartphone might have a glass back with a Twilight finish, which was seen on the Huawei P20 and the P20 Pro. The smartphone might also boast the AI camera capabilities similar to the P20 series of smartphone.
The OnePlus 6 is expected to launch close to the end of April in China. Just like the Honor 10, the OnePlus 6 will also eventually make its way to global markets such as India. In fact, the Honor View10 was launched a few days after the OnePlus 5T was unveiled, however, it went on sale in India almost two months after the OnePlus 5T. The Honor 10 will have a lot of similarities with the OnePlus 6 like an iPhone X style notch and an all-glass design. The OnePlus 6 might cost Rs 34,000 for the entry-level model. However, the Honor 10 is expected to be priced slightly lower than the OnePlus 6.
Honor has sent out an invitation for a launch event on the 15th of May in London, where the company could launch the Honor 10. The Honor 10 could be the successor to the Honor View10, which was launched in India in January 2018. Now, a new poster image and a mall billboard confirm some significant specifications of the Honor 10. According to the poster, the smartphone will have a glass back panel, which is reminiscent the Huawei P20 Lite’s design. However, the Huawei P20 Lite has a vertically placed camera while the Honor 10 has a horizontal camera setup.
A Billboard found in a Chinese mall hint that the Honor 10 might have a 5.8 inch display. Considering the Huawei P20‘s display, the Honor 10 is likely to have a 2280 x 1080 px resolution screen. As no Honor smartphone has an OLED display, the Honor 10 is expected to have an IPS LCD display. The Billboard also suggests that the smartphone will run on the HiSilicon Kirin 970 Octa-core chipset. According to leak, the device will have 6GB RAM and 256GB onboard storage.
One thing, which is beyond belief is the fact that the poster says that the smartphone has a 100% screen-to-body ratio. Considering the previous leak, where the smartphone has a visible amount of chin with a front-facing fingerprint sensor, there is no reason to justify this information what so ever. The previous leak also hints that the smartphone might have a Huawei P20 style notch.
The device is expected to have an AI-powered dual camera setup, similar to the Huawei P20 with a 12MP with an f/1.8 sensor and a 20MP with an f/1.6 sensor. Additionally, the device will have a bigger battery with SuperCharge capability. Since Huawei removed the headphone jack with the Mate 1o Pro and now the P20 series, Honor might follow suit, starting with the Honor 10.
Huawei recently launched its flagship Huawei P20 series of smartphones in Paris. Now, Huawei’s sub smartphone brand Honor will launch a new smartphone in London on the 15th of May. According to a leak, the company will launch the Honor 10, which will be a much more affordable alternative to the Huawei P20. The Honor 10 will have a glass back, glass front, and a metal unibody design, similar to the Huawei P20 series. Additionally, this will be the first Honor smartphone to sport a notch as well.
Whether the Honor 10 will launch in India is still uncertain. But, Honor has had success in India in the recent past. Hence, the Honor 10 could launch in India as well. Pricing has been the biggest advantage for Honor. In fact, the Honor View10 was launched in India for Rs 29,999, at a much lower price than the global price of 449 Euros.
The Honor 10 will have a 5.7 inch IPS LCD display with a 2260 x 1080 px resolution. This translates to a 19:9 aspect ratio, similar to the P20 Pro. As this is will be an affordable model, we do not expect Honor to go the OLED route. Under the hood, the device will have the HiSilicon Kirin 970 Octa-core chipset with 4/6GB RAM and 64/128GB storage.
Leaked Honor 10 Images
The device will have an AI-powered dual camera setup, similar to the Huawei P20. However, the company is likely to use different camera sensors. Additionally, the device will have a bigger battery with SuperCharging capability. Since Huawei removed the headphone jack with the Mate 1o Pro and now the P20 series, Honor might follow suit, starting with the Honor 10.
Huawei recently launched the Huawei P20 and P20 Pro in France. These smartphones are the latest flagship smartphones from the company. These devices come with a premium all glass design with 19:9 aspect ratio display with a notch. And now, Honor, the subsidiary smartphone brand of Huawei is all set to launch its first smartphone with a notch. A new leak unravels the design of the Honor 10 (tentative) with a notched display. However, the images do not mention either the name or a model number of the device. If this device launches in India, then this could be called as the Honor View10 Pro.
The device is covered with a plastic case to conceal the design. On the front, the device has a taller display, fingerprint sensor and a notch. In fact, the device looks identical to the Huawei P20. However, on the rear side, the smartphone has a horizontally placed dual camera setup, which distinguishes this device from the P20. It is very difficult to make out the build quality from the leaked images. However, considering the current industry trend, the device is most likely to have a glass back panel. The smartphone will borrow some of the specifications from the P20 series.
Honor View10
The Honor 10 will have a 19:9 aspect ratio display. As this is will be an affordable model, the phone is likely to have an IPS LCD panel, instead of OLED.Under the hood, the device will have the HiSilicon Kirin 970 Octa-core chipset with 4/6GB RAM and 64/128GB storage.
The device has a dual camera setup, similar to the Huawei P20. However, to cut the cost of production, the company is likely to use different camera sensors. Additionally, the device will have a bigger battery SuperCharging capability. Starting with this device, the Honor line of smartphones might adopt the trend of removing 3.5mm headphone jack. Lastly, the phone will run on Android 8 Oreo with custom EMUI skin on the top.
