Honor 10

Sleek design ; Powerful hardware ; Good value

EMUI Android skin is bloated ; Some performance bugs

The Honor 10 is one of the best £400 phones of 2018.

Phantom blue color scheme looks fantastic ; Excellent camera ; Decent battery life ; Low price

Performance doesn’t always impress ; Fingerprint sensor can be slow

New colourways are stunning ; Colourful 19:9 Full HD+ screen ; Lightning fast face unlock ; Strong internal hardware ; Smart AI-powered camera system

No microSD card slot ; Not waterproof

Display seems caught between fullscreen and traditional ; Notch / Fingerprint scanner up front seem counter-intuitive ; No water / dust resistance ; Display not great for direct sunlight

Honor continues its battle with OnePlus with an offering that is both well-rounded and impressive. While I was super impressed with the value for money proposition offered by the OnePlus 6, not to mention its overall performance, I don’t think it takes...

strong price-performance ratio ; good display ; decent speaker ; unusual color options ; accurate GPS ; Dual-SIM ; fast SoC ; good camera

few supported LTE bands ; storage expansion not possible anymore ; danger of overheating under constant load ; bloatware ; only Bluetooth 4.2
