> 24 hourBetter than the Pro! This is a great device that has much to offer than you cant easily find elsewhere. It does have a few small issues, but nothing deal-breaking. Pros: 1. 16:9 screen ratio... this is very hard to find on a newer device with specs like this one. I much prefer it, as you get more real estate, better video compatibility and app usability. This is a personal preference of mine. If you have small hands, you should consider a screen with 18:9 ratio. 2. Speakers... they are loud and clear. Way better than any of my Samsungs (S8, Note8) 3. IR blaster... some people would never use this, but I do! 4. Huge battery... speaks for itself. I get 2 days easily with moderate use. 5. Fast... this phone is very fast, although its not completely optimized for US apps, so some will take longer to load than others. Cons: 1. Bluetooth audio... comparatively very quiet and low quality. This may be fixed in a future update, but for now I wont be streaming any music via bluetooth if I can help it. 2. Hissing when using Aux cable... I have confirmed that this issue only exists when using an Aux cable, and not when using headphones. There is a distinct and constant hissing noise when an app is active and playing audio. It is possible this will also be fixed in a future update. Sound quality is great, though. I ended up getting a Razer USB-C to 3.5mm adapter that got rid of the hissing and actually improved the already good sound quality. 3. Regional issues... when I got mine, it was regionally flashed to Middle East. I found many bugs that were pretty intolerable. Once I figured out how to rebrand it via FunkyHuawei and changed it to International/Asia, everything has been smoother and faster without bugs. Anything that wasnt mentioned here should be assumed to be fully functional. I have had very few issues with it, despite the EMUI skin that everyone seems to hate so much. Ive actually grown to like it. Cool device for a cool price. I owned the Mate 10 Pro before this one, and it was plagued with bugs that I just couldnt stand. This non-pro version is a much more stable device for me, and actually has more features.

> 24 hourIm not one to write product reviews, however, for the money, this phone is rocking it! Flagship phone for $580. Dual Sim, headphone jack, screen is good, in the box comes w/ everything you need - rear clear bumper case, front screen protector, charger n cable. Android 8.0. Considering cost and value, I would purchase this phone again in a heartbeat. All you need is a Sim card and youre good to go. T-mobile or ATT.

> 24 hourI have used Many Huawei phones. But, None of them is as bad as this one. I don’t know whether or not my SIM card is incompatible with the phone, but I can’t use it since I even can’t catch the signal. Besides, I can’t open message in ordinary way. I hope those error is attributable to the delivery, not phone itself.

> 24 hourUnless you deal with confidential information and listen to the security warnings of the U.S. government, I highly recommend this product. I live in Brazil so I dont care about the commercial war that triggered this debate. The product is excellent, here are my initial impressions: - Fast processor, runs cool all the time - Fast charge - Good camera: I have not yet explored all the features of the camera but I had a good first impression. Takes good pictures in low light - Huawei has a nice software that imported all the contacts that I had from my old smartphone, fast and easy to use - The screen is bright and has vibrant colors. It has the same length of a 5.5 in screen but it is larger. I love the screen. - The build material of the phone is excellent - The phone is a little heavy because it has a good sized battery. The battery life is very good. - The Mate 10 can be customized in many ways to suit the taste of the users but it will not let down Android users, the interface is very good and easy to use. - Works perfectly well in our service provider network in Brazil, excellent call quality - Has a wide range of frequencies, which is good for international use - The wireless adapter is fast and the signal strength is good

> 24 hourThis is a Great Mate 10 International Unlocked Phone! I love 16*9 phones, I think this is the last great flagship phone that has a ratio of 16*9. All phones now has a aspect ratio of 18*9.... But, I live in the USA and have TMobile..... The phone cannot receive or make calls!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! When I put my TMobile chip in, it said 4g+ or H+ It can send and receive text just fine but making and receiveing calls is a no no!!!! Im so sad that it does not work I really like this phone. Looks like I will have to return it and get myself the Mate 10 pro .... Its on sale right now for $650. Its a great deal but just a 18*9 ratio which I hate. A lot of apps and games does not support this aspect ratio yet. I repeat!!!! Cannot make or receive calls on TMobile living in NYC! Not 4g lte ... It say H+ or 4g+ Texting is fine. I going to have to return this great phone.

> 24 hourI am really impressed with this phone. Coming from a Samsung Note FOUR, this thing is AWESOME! I decided that I was ABSOLUTELY NOT going to be purchasing another Samsung or Iphone for $800+ I just couldnt bring myself to do it. I started researching phones and Huawei came up. I watched a ton of videos, read dozens of reviews and comparisons and decided on the Mate 10. While the screen isnt the amoled, it does the job for me. Its sleek and has a bit of weight on it and doesnt feel cheap at all. I like that it has expandable storage and that the fingerprint reader is on the front. This phone is FAST! I am blown away at how many apps that I can have open and it doesnt miss a beat. Im using this on Tmobiles network and the second night that I had the phone I got an update that included face unlocking! Talk about excited. It takes great selfies (I had purchased the Mate SE previously and sent it back because the camera quality wasnt good) and the pictures on the rear camera are so freaking crispy! At under 450, this was great buy and I will have this phone for a while.

> 24 hourI have had this phone for a few months now and the short review is; the Mate 10 is amazing. I have the International model which means it needed to ship with the International Rom on it. The only problem I have found with that is I cant register a Huawei ID in my region. As far as the performance, the phone is blazing fast and the camera has exceeded my expectations. One of the best features of this phone is the battery life. I have gone literally 3 days with light use of this phone, heavy use can still get you a full days use. The phone charges so fast and the battery last so long I typically only charge my phone when I wake up in the morning before I go to class. If anyone is in the valley of decision on this device fret no more, you will not be disappointed. By the way, i have received two updates so far since owning this device which means Huawei is in support of this one...
