iPhone X vs Mate 10 Pro: 5 things Huawei excels at

Apple’s iPhone X and the Huawei Mate 10 Pro are two of the hottest smartphones this season. Both of them are equipped with the manufacturer’s latest processor, screen and camera technologies. However, there are many aspects in which the Huawei Mate 10 Pro pulls ahead of the iPhone X, and here are five of those.

iPhone X vs Mate 10 : High-end audio

For anyone who is a audio fan, Huawei’s Mate 10 Pro comes equipped with a quad DAC that can process audio at 384k/32bit. The iPhone X on the other hand: 48k/24bit. Huawei also supports the new LDAC bluetooth technology that can transfer much more data over Bluetooth — up to a bitrate of 990kbps.

iPhone X vs Mate 10 : Longer battery

iPhone users have always complained about battery life and that’s not about to go away with the iPhone X which has a 2716mAh battery. That’s quite a bit lower than the 4,000mAh battery present on the Mate 10 Pro. 

Not only is the battery larger but Huawei bundles a 22.W charger capable of charging the phone much at a much faster rate. Also worth mentioning is that Huawei is the first company that has gotten a certification from TUV for safely fast charging your device.

iPhone X vs Mate 10 : Better pictures

Both the Mate 10 Pro and the iPhone X are equipped with dual cameras, however, Apple uses 12MP sensors with an f/1.8 + f/2.4 configuration whereas Huawei uses 20MP+12MP sensors with f/1.6 lens on both cameras. Huawei has worked with Leica on it’s camera technology bringing on over 150 years of expertise from the highly respected optics manufacturer and uses the combination of monochrome as well as RGB sensors to create stunning shots.

iPhone X vs Mate 10 : More flexible connectivity

Like every other iPhone before it, the iPhone X comes with a lonely SIM slot and if you’re ever travelling abroad, you either need to be disconnected from your primary phone number to replace it with a local SIM or you need to pay ridiculous roaming charges. 

The Mate 10 Pro has two SIM slots with each one capable of running at 4G speeds. This allows you to keep your home SIM in one slot and use data by adding a local SIM where you’re traveling to.

iPhone X vs Mate 10 : Bigger bang for your buck

The Huawei Mate 10 Pro is priced at AED 2,999 whereas Apple is asking AED 4,099 for the iPhone X- that’s over a thousand Dirhams more. Not only are you paying more for the iPhone X but you’re getting less- iPhone X has 3GB RAM and 64GB storage whereas the Mate 10 Pro comes with 6GB RAM and 128GB built-in storage.
