Phone provided by Huawei for review.
Can you do a review on your dog?
3E stupid
Lol BRUH he should
Send him to jerrey rig everything 😂😂
Ntsako Phakula wtf
Funk it up with PC 😂😂😂 teardown review
I don't see what's weird with the camera layout. It's unique. I don't see why you didn't mention that it's huawei's in-house chipset. Kirin 970. I don't see why you didn't mention abt it's AI capabilities. I don't see why you why you didn't talk abt that desktop mode which doesn't require a dock like samsung. Yes the pixel has a great camera but google wants you to use what it has given you out of the box. No extra features like a pro mode. And you frgt to mention the dual speakers. Always been a fan of your videos but this was just rushed and kind of a "meh" review.
Light Vader his U11 review was shit also
Billybob Schneider that review was quite okay. This was bad.
Was about to say the same
TRUE TRUE TRUE! i wasnt expecting this from him. Seems like his uninspired to do this review and he didnt do any research AT ALL.
Light Vader iam with u bro
Why do you assume your audience is only in the US?
thomas kagwa he has access to whoever watches his videos from around the world
Yeah I'm watching him from Turkey
areeb1296 actually it's probably followed by the United Kingdom.
thomas kagwa shut the fuck up
Jk
Been using Huawei phones since the honor 6x came out. It's kinda amusing that other people haven't caught on to how good their products are yet.
Timothy McCarthy orouormpmtmpmtmtmtmgd'dgmpmp
Should I get honor 8 or Nova 2i from hardware perspective
İ have 6x and emui has been great since İ bought it
MalaysiaCat nova 2i
Like a iPhone a terrible terrible phone had both screen went on iPhone within a week and Huawei is just terrible phone and I'll never have again
I've NEVER EVER been disappointed with an MKBHD's review until now !
Hussain Mushtaq pretty sure it’s not a review buddy
ZB Hockey review or not, he skipped some great features of the phone. He can talk about a colored button on 5T and skips some key features of the phone. What does it say about this video? He did it just for the demand.
ke9ine totally agreed with you buddy
800$ ? why the hell would someone pay Huawei phone for 800$? you can get the OnePlus 5t for 500$ and it's has better software. EMUI make's the phone look like 100$ phone.
Mr Yousif i do respect your opinion. Again, this phone is not for everyone. The question you ask is similar to the question, why would someone pay more for iPhone 8 because its almost the same as iPhone 7 or why pay more on a note 8 when s8+ is a better option. People have different opinions just like you do. For me, i will take a mate 10 over one plus 5t. I use a Huawei P10 and i don't find emui to be a problem. Infact i like it to be honest. Since i did not like the home screen and its customization i decided to go for Nova prime. I don't know whats all the fuss about AI but i like to have that desktop mode, amazing cameras (love the monochrome lens), good battery life, ip67 feature, 128gb disk space and the design on the mate 10. For that i will spend $800 on that phone. There, that's why someone will spend $800 on a mate 10.
Wow, I don't know what happened to you, but unlike your other quality reviews this one is straight up *horrible* . You got tons of facts wrong and you seem to be trying too hard to point out as many cons as you can while not mentioning about many of key features this phone has.
Speaker is not just bottom firing, it is stereo/dual speaker setup with bottom one playing bass and earpiece taking care of high frequency sound. That's why sound was still leaking out when you covered the bottom speaker. NOT because your mic was "too good".
The camera on this thing is great, but you dismiss it like it's just an OK camera just because it performs slightly worse than Pixel 2 XL in Auto mode. Does your Pixel 2 XL have easily-accessible manual mode? Light painting? Night Mode? Can it capture photos in monochrome(which, by the way, you also didn't mention at all in this video for some reason)? You said Pixel 2 XL shoots better portrait photos, but how so? I mean, in what specific way? All those lack of explanations just annoyed me to the level that I couldn't take your opinion seriously at this point. And it was also disappointed that you didn't even talk about its video performance. MrMobile said it was better than Pixel 2 XL when shooting video in low-light, producing much less noise while offering the same level of stabilisation but surprisingly you didn't say any word for video.
I also disagree with you for the software part. You can enable the app drawer from the settings menu. Sharing menu in Gallery app looks like it's from iOS... and? Is it a good thing or bad thing? If it works without any problems, then why complain about it.
Though the worst part was when you mentioned HTC and LG as "established players"... WHAT? Since when??? They are going downfall and becoming some random mess which literally nobody gives a damn about while Huawei, despite already being a significantly larger smartphone manufacturer than both companies, is still growing rapidly. Why do I want this over HTC U11 or LG V30? Well, first of all this thing has got better camera and battery life than either of those devices. Also U11 looks plain ugly with massive bezels while V30 has horrible display so they won't be an option for me. Even though I prefer the regular Mate 10 over the Pro, if I was told to buy one of those 3 devices, it would easily be Mate 10 Pro.
Finally, you didn't even say a single word on AI and NPU and how they work when literally everybody else does. I don't understand why you decided to skip those parts, as they are probably the most eye-catching features found on this phone.
Thank you for posting this! I've made quite a few comments here that I didn't expect to make. I actually consider MKBHD to be a solid reviewer usually. Not necessarily as in depth as I would always like, but usually spot on and focused on what needs to be focused on. I realize reviewers are often rushed, especially someone as well established as him. But you gotta put in the work. I also realize most, if not all reviewers have their bias. They prefer what they prefer, which I'm fine with. But you gotta give praise where it's justified, and recognize accomplishments when they've been made. Whether people in the world want to admit it, mostly the US, Huawei is practically dominating the tech game right now. And they're doing it with very little US presence. They are here though, and as of right now anyway, will continue to be despite Government protests. To not recognize them as a major player, really does a disservice to their brand and overall accomplishments.
My point exactly. The brand deserves recognition and some commendation. It really is a solid device. How Marques could honestly put this out clearly erodes some of my confidence in him. Huawei phones phones have gotten better over the years. I started with the Mate 7 and loved it for close to 3 years (longest I have ever used a phone) and will definitely upgrade to regular Mate 10 soon.
simple, he didn't care enough about the phone to review it properly. probably his worst review in recent times
No idea exactly
He is a Apple sheep and Huawei has not paid him enough.He will rush a video if he is not paid by Apple/Samsung.
You know that the phone is good when consumers praises it in comment section even if the reviewer doesn't.
**DarkKnight **
Huawei is known for bloatware that is spyware. Google it!
**DarkKnight ** The funny part is the reviewer has actually tried the phone, while most of the comment section hasn't. You are just some fanboys of a mediocre phone's marketing campaign. In Europe A LOT of people have Huaweis, if not this particular phone, and the interface is so terribly ugly, clunky and poorly designed that no fucking AI chip will make you want to use this phone.
TexasTimelapse not gonna bias buat im an iphone user. I bought mate 10 pro and i can say it is very good phone. All those bloatwares are very minimal that i didnt even notice
Uwirlbaretrsidma. Hmm... I have the Mate 10 Pro, and this review was really stupid, so what's your excuse now?
@@uwirl4338 He missed a lot of key features for someone who "used" the phone. 🤔
When he says " I'll stick with one of the big players" and you know that Huawei already is a big player but sadly USA hasn't caught on yet, smh.
Keisha 868 Exactly, 3rd top manufacturer in the world. And at the same time mentioning HTC as big player? Maybe in At&T store in Idaho.
Wonder why after watching this video? 😒
Lmao true! Huawei is the 3rd largest in the smartphone market. Yet he kept mentioning HTC U11 with the “big players” which is a dying asian brand. He seems so uninformed. Wasnt expecting it at all.
it not about caught on, it banned. it was supposed to hit US this year but all carriers drop it due to reason, check out the news for details.
appleache
They've been busted in the past for spyware built into the OS
This isn't a bad review generally but compared to other reviews you have done this one is a little rushed. Camera score? Video samples? Mic quality? Charging speeds? Battery life?
The editing is good as always but Marques this is a little rushed
b I think he just doesn’t like it enough to do all that
b agree
b hey there I got that phone now like two month charging time is about 1 - 1 and half hours from 0 to 100% (:
If you take the battery time in video ( RUclips or Netflix time) it lasts way over 6 hours I mean It never died on me while watching videos or playing games on it (:
I hope it helped you a bit....
I'm sorry for my bad English I hope you guys can understand everything~
I don't think this is even a review! All his video reviews usually have the word "review" in it.
His u11 review was also rushed
This review is not good. 1st time i say this about a video by mkbhd.
I ditched my S8+ for the Mate 10 Pro and I think this is a much better phone.
Besides my personal opinion, this review gets a lot of facts wrong and also fails to mention a lot of features.
It just does not do the phone justice.
No App drawer? This is like saying "the pixel has no 4k recording" when you can simply activate it in settings
I get why he would not talk about the AI processor so much since i belive this is mainly marketing but CPU and a lot of other basic smartphone facts/features/specs are mentioned in every review but not in this one.
The camera is amazing, maybe it doesnt do as good as the pixel when point and shoot but there are so many modes and pro settings to adjust that weigh up for it. You say the software in this camera limits the hardware? I disagree, the pixel pretty much only delivers hdr and portrait mode, the Mate 10 has so many more features. During night time it really shines. First i thought the same: Photos are good but not as good as my S8+ but after using this cam a while you learn how to use it and it makes exceptional photos.
PS: Huawei is the third biggest smartphone manufacturer in the world. They developed the Google Nexus 6p. They are everywhere except North America. Here in Europe they took over roughly 4 years ago.
I watched this video within the first hour of upload. Back then all comments were 100% "omg I love MKBHD", so I waited with responding.
I agree with everything you say. I purchased a S8+ the start of this year and disliked it so much (slowed down incredibly, battery drainage and hate curved edges) I decided to trade it in for the Huawei Mate 10 Pro on release. Not only was it significantly cheaper. It's miles ahead. The camera is a LOT better, the screen is flat and gorgeous, but most of all: The phone is super fast and lasts at least all day! This phone beats the S8+ on everything except the headphone jack, which I don't care about.
I really disliked this "review" and wish Marques would have been a little more lenient with things that are easily changeable in settings to not have them weight in as much. My Mate 10 Pro's photos absolutely outperform the S8+. Did you enable HDR on the Mate 10 Pro?
Spast58 i like mate 10 pro killer model,,he is afraid
Spast58 I'm not a Huawei fan (and also I don't like them very much) but this phone is great. That's a fact. Yeah, Huawei has its downsides(EMUI), but also has upsides. Like great camera, good pro mode on camera and some more. Also this phone has Kirin CPU, never mentioned in video. This review covered no side of Mate 10 Pro. Sorry for broken English BTW
I second that. Not your best review, @mkbhd 😒
Spast58 i am not convinced that they took over... while some kids I know use one... that is it. That said, the y16 looks like a lil workhorse.
I have been using this phone more than two years now. May use for another 2years. One of the fantastic phone!
Does anyone remember when there would always be a box of Cheerios in the background?
SDG Danny it’s still there if you look and believe hard enough
*I believe it!*
Focusing on the important things.
SDG Danny I
*fake prop Cheerios .
Isnt the speakers of this phone stereo speakers like in iPhones? And the one about the app drawer can be enabled in the settings of emui? There wasnt even a mention of its fast charging thats on par with dash charging even though this has a 4000mah battery :/. This also scores 97 in dxomark which is 1 less from pixel 2's 98 dxomark. I can say that this looks the best out of other smartphones in terms of looks. Maybe its a matter of perspective on the reviewer especially the software side. I wont say the review was bad, but I felt that it missed some major points that undermined the value of the phone.
dxomark scores mean nothing.
Martin so the dxomark of pixel 2, note 8 and iphone x means nothing then? Dont spout bs. Thats why pixel 2 as well as note 8 scored high there because they have great cameras.
Agreed
@@rvey emui for me sucked till emui 10 then it got decent and magic UI 4 is incredible
I know it's already February, but I still can't get over the new visuals and intro. So clean!
You were just in Jev’s video too
People with film and DSLR experience will prefer Huawei/Leica's approach to the camera. No over-processed images. It gives room for a lot of manual control and post grading.
I'm having also tons of dslr experience, but still don't like picture quality. Yes there is a RAW format and tons of options. But in most cases i want to point and shoot and expect to have a really decent photo that isn't requiring tons of editing. 10 pro doesn't provide me that confidence, i don't trust him. Regreting each day how come Huawei didn't provided better camera software (algorithm). I find it very bad during low light almost without details and some crazy over sharpening with halo effects during day. Last but not least, selfie camera (bad as hell). This is my review after owning one for 6 months. Regards
good to hear HTC's Name... Finally
INDIAN MUSIC MAFIA
HTC U11+ 4000mah too.
Péter Friedrich the problem is availability of htc u11+ i have been waiting for it for a long time. But its still not available in my country. By the time it is available there will be a ton of phones with all the new gimmick. SAD!
Availabity is a problem with a lot of phones, maybe except iPhones. I really liked the Moto X, but it was never sold in my country, like a lot of great Motorola phones.
HTC Is crap. I had a HTC One M8 and it broke.
R X actually Huawei can't hold 🕯️ to htc in terms of durability and reliability. If you broke M8, stay away from Huawei.
I don't think you know Huawei much. Huawei is a big deal, it's pity that you compare Huawei with HTC.
@I LightenStar I yea the brand which you are saying shit is the 2.nd biggest phone manufacturer ...
I LightenStar I it’s been getting better!!!
Man, Huawei is big in scandinavia. Has been in our stores since 3 of january. Great phone!
Had the Mate 10 pro for 3 weeks, love it, battery amazing.I am at 50%-60% at night.
Clive P Is it necessary to charge it 24 hours when you get it out of the box ?
Are you using in the U.S.? What carrier do you use?
I am in the uk, Great deal, £9 per month unlimited texts, unlimited calls, 5GB data on o2.
Not really neccessary , but i fully charge my phones out of the box.
I'm a Samsung girl but I've been thinking about getting this phone I've heard alot of goods things about it.
I got this phone in blue, and I love it! I got tired of the boring and lacking stock Android on my Nexus 6P, so EMUI was a welcome change. And with the top of the line battery life, 6GB ram, 128GB storage, what more can you ask for? Huawei is the only brand I will buy phones from, as I'm tired to death of Samsund, LG and the other big brands.
( And by the way, you can change the iPhone-like home menu to a normal one with an app drawer in the settings, and you can also make it so that double-tapping volume down only opens the camera in stead of taking a picture in the camera apps settings.)
Agreed, I'm currently reviewing this device and it seems promising so far.
Can it disable the double-tapping feature in the camera setting? Because the problem isn't about taking a picture but when you double-tap the volume button instead of changing the volume you ended up open the camera
Reonat yes you can disable this feature.
Colm O'Loughlin glad to know that
It won't open the camera if the phone is already unlocked or if u have music going in the background.
A bit harsh on the review. Yes, it might not be as good as a Pixel 2 but is it not worthy?? If we only decide between a Pixel 2, IPhone X or Note then innovation will suffer.
He's talking at that price point, those are the big players
skrt skrt but Huawei is the 3rd biggest smartphone manufacturer in the world for a while already. Recently even passed apple for one of the quarter and become number 2 in the world
Poor Mate 10 Pro. Such a good piece of hardware but fell into the wrong reviewer.
Very true....... I have been very impressed so far and I was always a samsung note guy. I have a new found respect for this manufacturer.
Clinton Hemphill me too
Exactly
Kindda agree.. 😂
Clinton Hemphill how is it compares to the note
You can add an app drawer in settings lol
Jesse Meyer definitely implied there wasn't, since he said the bloatware apps have to be hidden in folders- but if you have an app drawer you can just keep it in there
Leo Lu you can uninstall most of them.
Out of the box there isnt an app drawer but it is available in the settings without installing nova. He also mentioned the double tap volume to open camera and take a quick picture, but the picture taking can also be disable and have it just open the camera. Poor research on MKBHDs part.
Jesse Meyer
He says it as if there’s no option
Also it doesn’t really matter I’ve made mine look like a pixel from the inside
Honestly this review could've been better because Huawei is actually a really "major player" in other regions of the world. Your argument also seemed a bit biased.
Jun Luo in where besides China?
Europe
Everywhere “below” the US? From Mexico all the way to the penguins in the south pole?
brown bobby Lol don't you know that huawei is the most popular phone brand in Germany, and in the whole western Europe to large extend?
Malaysia,Indonesia,brunei,thai,india,other asian countries.And Europe.
I had an s8+ for months, mate 10 pro is definitely a lot better, faster, camera is way better than samsung, battery is also way better, finger print scanner is amazingly fast.
With nova launcher it's really good.
The thing i love the most is that it stays fast.
With the P20 coming............
Do you still think it is better? What you don't like about mate 10 pro? I would like to know in order to buy mate 10 pro
i have mate 10pro for like 6 months. I agree with everything that Douglas wrote (good sides). Ones that you may/not like are (my opinion):
-camera that requires a lot more tweaking to take out best photo out that phone (trying few camera mods on same scene) compare it on pc, etc
-video is not key point of this phone at all, its 50-50 sometimes great sometimes a bit worse
-selfie camera is not that great, tends to beautify face a lot even when disabled
-audio in general is great and loud stereo (youtube, all the media) but when playing own video you took with 10 pro its ugly low volume even maxed out even on pc
My verdict, its a definitely great, fast and 2 day phone. Cameras are not the strongest points on this phone tho you get tons of manual controls/modes and options, for my eye they are a bit behind other brands. Probably 9 out of 10 users wont spot such differences in details, but since i'm into photography for years (dslr, photoshop and such) I confirm that. Regards
@@CroIntr00X Thank you for answering :) I'll stick with my S8 for now, and go for Pixel 2 XL. Because I had a P10 last year and I was disappointed with a few camera issues.
@@CroIntr00X You said "camera requires a lot of tweaking to take best photo". Does that mean its not as good as the S8? Hows the low-light performance?
@@Unan1mouz i meant that camera is not consistent like Huawei claims (AI scenes). Camera usually recognize scene very well, but applies sometimes over sharpening, over saturating, or some weird shit that doesn't look pleasant to me (im aiming toward natural look). Huawei claims 9.0 will have option to turn off AI completely so I'm looking forward to it. My tweaking means I have to jump into photoshop alot to tweak it to my likings + i don't always wanna/have time to jump into PRO mode. About low light. Nothing special really, lacks detail, due to heavy noise reduction, SAMSUNG is better in that field for sure. 2-3-4 cameras are gimmick just look what Pixel doing with just one and amazing software. Huawei have only name Leica inside is some cheap china lens and half-finished software (for me). Look around youtube for details (tearing it apart). Regards. Yes i think s8, s9 are better camera phones, not always but in 99% and that's what matter that you have confidence. Regards
Overall I think its a great phone,Huawei has done a good job.
foe the price its shit ,bloatware ,no headphone jack ,its not AMOLED just OLED, camera isnt on par for the price of other smartphones ,for a 6 inch inch phone the note 8 is better and about same price
girlsdrinkfeck
1. Can you explain what the problematic difference between OLED and AMOLED are? The display it uses is actually manufactured by Samsung.
2. Have you had any experience with the camera?? Do you actually know how good it is and not just from this shitty review.
3. Samsung also has a lot of bloatware
4. €800 isn't "about the same" as €950 so that's just bullshit
5. The Mate 10 Pro's huge battery will last much longer than the tiny note 8's
Alex nailed it
girlsdrinkfeck shit is ur comment, i had Huawei (Honor) phones since 2014 and i wouldn't change brand
I have the mate 10 (non pro) and I love it. Great phone imo
So just for those that don't know, Huawei is a big Name player in the smartphone world. They are a top 5 smartphone maker in the world. MKBHD poses the question as to whether you should choose this phone over big names players like HTC, LG, etc...but Huawei is as big as both of those companies combined. Only Samsung and Apple have bigger shares than them (if you don't count Oppo/OnePlus/Vivo as one company BBK)
Also this camera on this phone is absolutely amazing. I know that MKBHD doesn't care too much for DXO but this phone is the only other phone released that has a 100 on camera stills (the other is Note 8) and the video quality is pretty damn good as well. Overall if you had the money, you should 100% get the Pixel 2 XL. But this phone is as flagship as they come and should be in the conversation if not near the top of the android flagship conversation.
Huawei is world's 2nd largest smartphone brand.
Second largest phone brand but it is not a big player I the United States. Ask somebody on the street and 95% don't know what Huawei is.
Benjamin I'm Indian, why would I ask in streets of US?? 😆😆😆😆 Huawei is world's 2nd even without US! As it's entering US market now, It's only matter of time before It becomes no.1😎😎
Python they arent second. Its Samsung and Apple ahead of them. And if you consider the reality that Oppo/Vivo/Oneplus are all the same company under BBk then Huawei would be fourth. But as is they are 3rd
darpinian1 you are not updated. Huawei is 2nd largest phone brand and 2nd largest android phone brand. They surpassed apple last year. And why will we consider oppo vivo and op as one if they are doing business separately?? for example, maaza, thumbs-up are of Coca-Cola, but they do business separately, so we say then as separate brands which profit goes to Coca-Cola. They are not even sub brands, they are just owned by Coca-Cola. Same with oppo vivo and oplus. Huawei is Officially No 2 even without entering USA. And this year it's entering USA.
watching this on my pro 10.
I have Fe 20 and now s22 ultra and still this phone is killing it.
4 years later battery works great, i am at this moment in sauna and writing this and my pro 10 doesn't mind. best 800€ i have ever spend on a phone. 10/10
Dude, Huawei are one of the biggest smartphone manufacturers in the world in fact they sell way more than Pixel. And to say that the camera isn't great because the Pixel 2 is better is just plain stupid, especially considering it has the second highest score on DXO..
Wonder which phone has the highest DXO score 🤔
Patrick Khwela market share mostly from china..where in w.europe or america or east asia like japan is hawei big?
Huawei is only big in China, and is only big because the government forces it to be. It is also spyware.
yeah what do you know
Chief Lol it's pretty big in all regions except for the US. There are plenty of Chinese smartphone companies competing against each other and the govt doesn't have to favor any of them. Spyware my ass.
I'm kinda disappointed.. I know he doesn't like huawei but Damn.. It's like for everything that was good about the phone he had a snarky remark/complaint to make about the phone.. I know they could've made it a simple product and to some it might seem like they went overboard but look at their competitors.. Apple, Samsung, Google.. I'm impressed with the big step they took to in this phone
There is something you really have to know, this phone may look really fancy with the specs on paper, but if you compare it with iphone on hand, it feels like a plastic toy phone.
I'm using both the phone atm
King sounds like bullshit
Because it's thinner and lighter?
Billybob Schneider don't get the wrong idea I love his videos been watching them for 2 years now. Just for the first time I've seen him act like this to a product and it just disappoints me
longlive theking I made that comment on another comment section but yeah. Nah I was kinda joking sort of, but some of his reviews, especially this one and the HTC U11 review, were lackluster. He didn't go over everything the phone was capable of (like the NPU on this phone and the Stereo speakers on the U11 and this phone, ESPECIALLY the U11), and it just makes me annoyed. If he went over everything and knew everything, I'd respect it because Huawei phones aren't for everybody, but because he acted like he just picked it up for the first time and starting using it, his review is basically incomplete and trash. He basically acted like the camera was magic and knew what he was capturing somehow, it's like he didn't know there was an NPU or anything at all.
Edit: I could be wrong about him not mentioning the Stereo speakers on the U11, but if I remember correctly, he didn't say shit about them
Is this guy getting paid by Samsung, LG, HTC or Google? Huawei is the 3rd largest smartphone manufacturer in the world and they chose Mate 10 Pro to hit the US market. This phone supports both Software (Artificial intelligence) as well as hardware (secondary monochrome sensor) to get the best out of the camera.
I get very excited seeing you finally reviewing the Mate 10, but i ended up disappointed, you missed a lot of the feature of this phone and it felt like a rushed review just because you were asked to do it. You keep saying this vs the other big names, but do you realise how big Huawei is, i think it's second to Samsung in selling numbers
In Asia, Huawei is huge, globally it's very uncommon
People in America, Europe and Australia don’t know Huawei make phones
Red Hood lol .. yeah no one knows huawei makes phones.. not like they are under the top 3 in selling numbers. Huawei is quite popular in europe and australia
Red Hood lol, are you living in your dream bubbles? Huawei is huge in Europe and Asia!!
Waited for this . Expected a lot. But u dissapointed MKBHD!!
I am surprised MKBHD doesn't show shit about Huawei, how popular it is across the continents, how solid the brand is. Disappointing.
You didn't talk about how the CPU is a AI and learns based on what you do to improve performance and battery life
Takoda H "improve performance and battery life"
Takoda H This is the comment I was looking for. Didn't mention the AI chip at all.
Daniel Sachs He doesn't even know Huawei made the Nexus 6P.
Or that the phone has stereo speakers(!)
Lol. Yep he didn't know
I made my beloved father buy this several weeks before this review! Then again im from Sweden. We do not get the Mate 10, but 10 Pro.
Huawei is trash. The back of that phone is also fugly.
P10 or mate ?
Chief well most people don't agree with ya, but sure have your opinion.
Chief looks are subjective
mate 10 pro better than mate 10
First review you do I disagree with. Looks like you didn’t give the phone a chance at all.
Indeed
*most disliked video of this channel*
Hmm not exactly 🤣
Definitely his worst review by a big mileage.
@@Mister_Jay_Tee his best review
I have iPhone killer 10 pro, here in Finland 🇫🇮 Huawei is very popular brand. If you want excellent camera and incredible good display go and buy this.
pp7502 in this case the reviewer let his prejudices drove his review. As I said, the world is bigger than the US. Love and peace from Argentina. Love Finland
pp7502 the question is, why would you buy something from the Chinese? Think about it... they hate the west. They are constantly trying to destroy our economy.... your economy
Hunter Bowman ye that's y they r bringing you the best features and it's a brand u aren't giving money to a country
Hunter Bowman More like west hates China , do some research dumfuk
Hunter Bowman very simple.
No tax for exports in China n no tax for import in US.
What about your pixel 2? Coated with plastic thats easily scratched
Screen is dimmed
Burn in screens
Worst viewing angles on OLED
Touches on side are not registered
Top speaker is a disaster
Call quality is one of the lowest,
Random reboots
The fingerprint reader is slowing after time
Headphone dongle is defective in most units sold
Buzzing noise when listening to audio
Using data while on wifi
dxo mark for PHOTO is 99 (mate is 100)
he would never mention those faults with pixel he is a fan of google imo
Petar Grujoski and what about the prviot ai chip u svet?
My gf has a pixel and we have witnessed none of those issues mentioned above!
Jamie Lloyd I have the pixel 2 so I dont know where you made up half these issues. You clearly have never used a pixel before . I used to think Samsung phones were far better than the pixel 1 until I got the pixel 2. The software optimization and the phones snappiness just make this one of the best daily driver phones I have ever used.
BROXY you named the wrong person! I was saying that I haven't seen any of the issues mentioned.
strange, that the US is so unfamiliar with Huawei. here in Europe, Huawei is since 2,3 years one of the big players, mostly to the fact, that Huawei have a couple of realy good Budget Smartphone with a lot bang for the bucks. Im working on a electronic store, and we sell more hauwei p8 lights/p10 lights thenn the Samsung A or J line - due to the fact, that a hauwei with the same specs like a samsung costs almost half the price. I was curious to see the mate 10 pro in this pricerange. but realy: the smartphonegame changes again, this time, the chinese manufacturers Huawei and ZTE make themselve a real name (check out the ZTC Blade V8 - a specmonster for under 250 €)
noob fl Huawei is really big pretty much anywhere other then the US. The problem with the US is the carriers are at the mercy of the phone manufacturers. How much to sell for, what models to carry, which ones qualify for promos, etc. it's not because Huawei won't sell in the US, it's more because companies like Apple and Samsung strong arm the carriers and retailers. Huawei is cheaper then both Apple and Samsung flagships, so they'll take away sales. So as you can guess, Apple and Samsung doesn't like the new kid playing in their backyard.
samsung must hate huawei, because huawei is outrunning samsung as the world leader in android smartphones. The force of the carriers is in europe nearly broken, there are almost no big carrier anymore in germany with smartphone substitution (not official, with a few calls and make some noise, you can get a phone for a 2 year plan) - also, as far as i understand, in the us, there are different incompatible networks - while in europa, every carrier use the same networks and frequencies and there are also almost no smartphones anymore with a carrierlock. The consumer have a bit more freedom of choice - and a lot users choose a budget phone and a prepaidplan over a flagship and a 2 year contract.
but. exept of this freedom, mobile data in germany is expensive as fuck :(
noob fl yes agree . And our European frequencies are different from US. Remember when iPhone 6 or 5 ( or 4) came out it didn’t had 4G in Europe because in US 4G is slower . In my country France we have 200-400Mbits/s and more as 4G 4G+ .. not sure if this exist in US. And yeah Huawei is a really a big player in European market but still smaller than Apple or Samsung though. I check every city in Europe and what I see most of people have iPhones and Samsung . Personally I have iPhone 8 Plus and Mate 10 pro. I just love mate 10 pro , actually using more often than my 8 Plus . My GF has iPhone X ... I’m not fan of it. Wow I don’t know that mobile data is expensive in Germany . I’m paying 19,99€/month for 100Gb internet data . Actually it’s unlimited if I subscribe for Optical Fiber or ADSL( depends on region) . But usually in France you pay 35-40€/month for 25-30Gb
noob fl u can’t find any US main carrier selling Huawei’s product. I can’t imagine that the US gov has nothing to do with this.
Big fan of Mbkhd. But this video failed. I think he hates Heuwai.
Ik just watched his mate 20 pro phonevid
Huawei *
Im laughing my ass off, HEUWAI hahahaa
@@notJoshuaHD how do you even pronounce that? He-yo-why ? hahaha damn it 😂
Indeed
Huawei Mate 10 Pro and HTC U11+ are the most underrated phones on RUclips.
Melbourne Dauz yes especially HTC U11 is one of the best smartphone camera (better than iphone X/8+)
Cerisette Kotomi u mad Google Pixel 2 is first with 97 points and huawei mate 10pro and Iphone x r both 2nd with 96 points
that's combined scores photo + video, Mate 10 Pro is 1st in photos because Leica, just like Nokia used to do with Zeiss optics, those 2 optics are making stuff for militaries around the world, apple or samsung can't make something that good
Yup I totally agree.htc U11+ was my first choice to buy a phone this year . But I couldn't wait for it to come out in my country so I had to get the mate 10 pro and I am really happy with it
They're underrated because it's not D-Brand approved/sponsored >_
i was waiting for this review for a while and seriously im disapointed
there is alot of things you didnt mention like
{seriously {the mic is too good
there is 2 speakers not one
and i guess the main selling point for this phone is the NPU
u didnt even mention it
I said that same thing. It's not fully dual speaker as it uses the ear piece but it's very good audio quality. He must have a dud model. Fantastic phone that deserves a chance. I have it and it's fast phenomenal in performance. Lasts days and still exceeds 5hrs 30 mins SOT with 101 hours of operation with moderate use.
And don't forget it can turn both speaker into stereo mode as well
Fully agree
Huawei is really big in europe, it's the no. 3 most common brand in the Netherlands
I have ordered this phone and obviously I have read every review of it on you tube, and I think the review you have done has been rushed and ill conceived. You looked like someone just handed you the phone five minutes before the review, and you never mentioned all the great features of the phone. Saying about the spacing of the rear cameras was just nit picking, and you didn't seem to know about the app drawer or stereo speakers, I respect your opinion but I could see you were not happy doing the review, I am getting mine with a free huawei mate 9 lite here in Greece, so takes the price down a bit, I don't know but something strange about this review. Respect
It's funny that you said you'd stick with the big players of smartphone market when Huawei became the 2nd company on the market after Samsung.
Gábor Villányi As an American I almost want to personally apologize for that huge discrepancy. Huawei is simply not that well known in the US, so unfortunately a lot of Americans make misinformed comments like that. I just wouldn't expect him to be one of them. 🤔
I'm a bit disappointed. I feel you missed so much; like you did this in a hurry or because some fans asked you to do it but not because you really wanted to do it. You should really give it a full try because Huawei has SO MANY OPTIONS that it can get complicated to get the max out of it. Seems like your focusing only in the popular phones and not doing real reviews of the things you can get in the market. That would keep you as a good reviewer of the top favorites but not as a good neutral reviewer of the options for everyone that I think you used to be.
I find it funny people are only noticing this now about MKBHD. More on your 4th sentence, to extend to even Sony, look into when his last sony flagship phone review was lol. This guy isn't into innovations or companies that don't pay him. He's into what everybody's into typically like a sycophant. That's why he's all about Tesla, Apple. He's the type of people that easily buy into societal cults because that means you're "cool" and "in" with society or some such crap.
Insta?
my computer doesn't even have 6GB of ram !!!!
VA-13 oof
Heh
Then it's definitely cheaper than $800
VA-13 same
SAD!
you missed the fact under display you can make it HAVE an app drawer!. Plus, overall, the phone is built for people who love design AND give you phenominal battery life. Ive bought Huawei over samsung and apple for years... well worth it!
It's £530 over in the uk! That's like a good midrange phone price
I have mate 10 pro for long. It is best phone for me in all aspects. And I have to disagree - user interface is pretty good, I switched to nova launcher and its perfect. So passing on a phone for feature thats easily changeable - questionably shady. Speaker system as in Unbox therapy reviewed is very good, giving low and high freaquencies through separate speakers, you seem to miss that as if havent used the phone for a while. Camera is also very good, so happy about it. Lenses are in the center as you would expect like on a gun focusing, not on a side. There are more good awesome things not mentioned as two user system, or navigation dock, so on. And UI is so much better than samsung or just best compared to others.. one thing could be better - screenshot feature accesible through power button. But its best phone for me, leaving second best phone like at least 20% behind. Just awesome. So sloppy-ish shady review seems to me. Camera also as in various review was beaten only by iphone x in some aspects but not in all. So shady questionable fast done review seems like.. you seem busy with something else I guess. Been using phone for maybe 2 months now, very happy. :-)
VaidasJSP if you go to the settings you have an app drawer installed. I have that on my huawei P9 plus. So you don't need nova app drawer. Just a suggestion, no hard feelings 😊
„User interface is pretty good” and “I switched to nova ...” - I stopped reading after that.
where did he said it's a review? because it is not, just impressions of the phone and he prefers Stock Android and Pixel camera, nothing wrong with that. He said several times it is a good phone on the same level of the big players, he just prefers the Pixel like most people do.
Well I thought really highly of you but guess you're just not as I always thought. You practically know nothing aside the "big names" you only know right? Or perhaps you're too caught up with Pixel? Just disappointed with this review.
Agreed, aside from reading the spec sheets on individual products, he has no real understanding of the smartphone industry as a whole and why companies do what they do.
No mention about the easy projection feature? That's a serious omission.
Atrix79 he is paid to bash this phone. It's actually bloody brilliant
Did google pay you to make this video?
waiting my mate 10 pro to get problem just wanna get a new phone.. but still work fine.. nah.. I'll see for 2024 ahead
no mention of kirin 970????
Piotr Darnowski how many other Socs u know having a dedicated npu
Piotr Darnowski It's on par with the 835...so educate yourself.
Americans are so boring and racist about other phones that are not iphones (or samsung after all the years...). Look at european reviews of this phone to really know if this is or not a good phone. This is a really short and bad review.
Phones are not a race, pal.
"Racist" aam...
huawei is very famous in europe its an amazing phone
A Z why are you salty?
Ricardo Martinez Why do you care?
Been using this for 5 years now and I'll keep it til it dies lol
Umm, but Huawei is already a big player, it’s just not seen before in the US. How about checking out their smaller flagship, P10 and P10+? And incase you don’t know Honor, another Chinese smartphone brand also belongs to Huawei. What I don’t understand between Huawei and Honor is that both phones have lots of components that is shared (e.g. their chip, Kirin) but Honor is always selling the similar spec phone at half price of Huawei phones. Since you have such a huge influence maybe you can ask them why they do this?
Jun Yang Ng I can provide some insight. The OnePlus 5T is actually the same shell as the Oppo R11 I think, and they must borrow a lot of software features and design from the higher end company. Oppo and OnePlus are owned by the same parent company, and it probably works the same for Huawei and Honor
Positioning
Huawei is, to them, a more upscale brand while Honor is meant to be more youthful.
Yeah, advertisement definitely takes up a lot of the extra cost. MKBHD also never mention the Leica branding that Huawei puts on their flagship phones. I guess the Leica collaboration is expensive as well.
Also, Honor phones are always scaled down in other aspects, like camera and build quality
I switched to the Mate 9 after having 3 Samsung phones previously. I cannot go back to Samsung now. I adore my Mate 9, however it seems like the EMUI5 installed on the Mate 9 has better software? Still has the App drawer, etc. I dunno.
Finally someone out of the buble
This should have emui8 to go with Oreo.... Yeah I know, they've gone from 5 to 8. Makes no sense. Emui was a bit clunky. I say was because when our Huawei P9 eventually got the nougat upgrade and emui 5, it became a much more responsive, much more pleasant device to use. They're doing a good job imo and it's much better than touchwiz (more like touchjizz)
I am a big fan of yours, but your review on this occasion is devoid of a lot of detail that phone actually offers. The Huawei Mate 10 Pro is a very premium phone from a "big-player" company in the same class as those that offer the Google Pixel 2 XL, Samsung Galaxy Note 8 or the iPhone X. In many ways it's actually better than the iPhone X, and for a fraction of the cost!! You should have taken time to actually go through this phone before reviewing it. I am surprised; must have been a bad day...
I have a Huawei P10 and I hate EMUI, but i downloaded Nova and an icon pack and now mu phone looks sick, so EMUI doesn't have to be such a big deal
I was a little bit disappointed, when you commented the "sizes of competitors batteries". There are plenty of smaller phones with 4000+mAh battery. Do your homework, before you shoot the video...
When he said competitors he meant phones that compete that phone. The mate 10 pro is a 650 dollar flagship meaning it competes with other flagships. This has a bigger battery battery than most flagships. Low end and midranger phones do not count as they do not compete with this device.
MKBHD! I have been a subscriber of u since 2013. This video is so disappointing bro. Sorry to say this. Disliked!
Wasn't this the phone that had the 'desktop' function?
Julian Shern Man Loh it has. No mentions
Who the hell gives a crap about a desktop mode running Android underneath? It should have been mentioned but, who cares?
Mankeerat Singh if there is a feature but u don't use doesn't mean it's useless. There are many features one doesn't care about then why are they even developed . Ever thought about it?!🤔
Mankeerat Singh it's a feature - that doesn't cost $150 dollars like another highly established brand....
Redspiderman Oh I use almost all the software features I can find in my Nexus 6P. I would also use a desktop mode IF it actually is actually worth using and I have used the desktop mode in an S8 and it is useless. It's just a stupid gimmick used to reel people in when they see it in the specs sheet.
I had a dream where I had a phone that looked just like that
I have Huawei Mate 10 now (not Mate 10 pro).. And it's really amazing and awesome..
Im planing to buy one too
Honor 9i
I got this one after being an apple fan for past 6 years, No more Iphone, this is a really good phone and I love it.
Features he forgot:
Changing the focus after taking the picture. Phone has 4 cameras that saves spatial details. This lists you refocus saved photos.
Beauty mode where it identifies subject and enhance based on database of features. This is why it can identify the subject quickly
I would get this over any "established player." Everyone and their Mom has the galaxies and apples, time for something different.
The phone seems perfect for tbe price and if the only reason you don't but it is "no-one knows Huawei" then wtf bruh??
Damien Wayne thats right. Perhaps no-one knows Huawei in the US, thankfully the world is bigger than the US and it's a shame that some absurd prejudice turns people away from a great phone. As if the big players don't want competition from the world, Even they might offer good Quality at good prices.
mauro schirone true dat
Huawei is 1st or 2nd most selling brand in most countries worldwide, and if you put it all together than it is Samsung > Huawei > Apple > Xiaomi, but Xiaomi is growing 70-80% each year and in year or two it will be infront of Apple
Komi Lopov indeed, the world third largest despite the lack of America's carrier support
I don't get the argument of something being different as bad. If it works and it does everything you expect why count that as a negative? Not to mention the "Some design elements look like the iphone". Okay... so what? Does it work? If the answer is yes why mention that like it is a bad thing. It's like he's trying to find excuses not to like it despite being in the same class as any other flagship out there. We get it MKBHD is super invested in Google and their stock android but at least admit that's the only reason you didn't try to learn the quirks of the phone. Half of his gripes are things that can be changed or are not bad in the least. Case in point when he talks about the speaker. If he spent a little more time comparing it to his Pixel 2 XL he would know the highs come from the top and the mid and lows from the bottom. That's why the mic picks it up. This lack of effort just makes it look like you're not even giving it a chance.
I finally just bought this and MAN, THE FINGER PRINT SCANNER IS JUST THE BEST EVER!!
I am touched at least someone is calling the ratio 2:1 and not 18:9
Ramchandra Panuganti lol
easy to compare it to the previous 16:9
This phone feels amazing in the hands. Camera is quite solid, has desktop mode. CPU is good but GPU falls behind the Adreno 540
Tech Thusiast are you going to review it on your channel?
Tech Thusiast just stumbled upon your channel, subbed.

I think Marques has always had a bias for Huawei, it clearly comes out in this review and lack of reviews. However, he is entitled to his opinion. I love Huawei phones and I love Marques work as well (except this review).
Thats why he delayed before reviewing the phone. Every other reviewer did except him.
Very Disappointing review didn't mention dedicated AI chip, a manual mode in the camera has a lot of good modes which can take much better pictures than google pixel 2, and many more.. Come on MKBHD we want u to be fair with other companies except Samsung and apple if they have done something really good. I f apple can charge $1000 for a piece of shit like iPhone 10, then why then simply can't??
I was expecting a review from you for Huawei phones since I owned mate 9. And now there it is, dissapointment from you. I guess google really bought you bro
Your worst review so far bro, sorry
duls161 what is ur say on mate 9 ?I m thinking to buy it...my main focus is battery and updates..
agree
@@shujriz2286 owner of both a mate 9 and mate 10 pro. Battery is absolutely top notch. Much better than the Razer phone (the one he gave for best battery of the year to for some reason, I've actually used both). The mate 9 has been keeping up with security updates as of late, but software updates can be far between with Huawei.
I had mate 7 and 8 now gonna buy the 10
Indeed
im still a bit surprised by the camera review. I personally think that the camera on this is better than the s8 and other big players. pixel 2 obvsly beats it but the iphone x is only SLIGHTLY better imo. Aside from those 2 i dont think ive seen a phone with as good a camera as this.
Ahmet Bozdag exactly
// yes it does but the scores aren't everything, I'm the biggest apple hater on the planet lol but I can appreciate their camera performance and I personally think the pictures on the iPhone x looks better.
// whatever floats your boat my dude, if you like it then go for it 👍 don't let anyone give you shit for your personal preference fuck em
In my experience it depends. Love my Mate 10 Pro's camera, and it shines in b&w and night, clearly besting everything. But in daylight, landscape, portrait, it could be a bit better, but still performs like the best of them for every normal human being, just taking photos with their phone.
Cebastian Rosing of course it depends, every cameras got its advantages in certain conditions. It's a hella good camera is all I'm saying and I feel like it should've been highlighted in the video
now huawei is a big company, time flies so fast
Thank you so much for this Review... but I'll definitely use the Mate 10 Pro, not because I currently have the P9, but because I get that "what kind of phone is that?" Kind of Vibe with it...but great Review!!!
So, since when it is bad that you can change the user interface with an app?? Kinda negative review just because EMUI, You pay 1k for an iphone and you can't change anything. Buying this phone 1000 times before an iphone
Is he wearing *AADHAR CARD* merch?
😂
😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂
😂🤣👍
I really want to know if the mate 10 pro is genuinely better than my s7 in enough ways. (Definitely the camera!)
Battery life, camera, bigger screen (important to see easier everything), pc mode (you can use it as a pc with a cable without a base), and for my hands better grip.
2:00 what?? It doesnt look weird at all, it looks GORGEOUS in that shiny chocolate nougat color!
Doesnt this phone has bottom and front firing speakers (earpiece) like htc11 or iphone 8/x. Why does he say is only bottom speakers?
eduardo velazquez because he's dumb and can't tell there's audio coming from the earpiece
He's dumb? If he's that dumb why does he have millions of subscribers that he's worked for and all of these review units?
foreverbbooyy he has missed all the important and highlighting feature of this phone that's why u can see the whole comment section is against him.
Latest Huawei flagships: Hold my battery juice
You should use the phone more. It kicks butt. The photos are incredible.
First time ever I'am going to dislike your video. Don't know why you hate that company + Huawei is very popular in EU. I bet that you have a lot of audience not from US.
Great review but you forgot to mention it runs Android 8.0 out of the box
Been following your channel for like 5 or 6 years. This is my first dislike.
Why?
@@18utkb probably because he didn't like it
Huawei Mate 10 pro one of the best phones so far matching and even beating iphone x and note in alot of places...Biased Like most tech tubers if they like a phone they will only review it good but not something different Rhumbs down M8
Take it easy commie boy.
Chill bro...this phone will becomes a rubbish when s9 is out, it's game over.
Omf I hope you dont breed..The s9 is a brand new phone dumbass dont compare it to an older Huawei Wait untill the new Huawei releases P11(maybe) then you can talk shit so Stfu:)
Yz Clips oh I'm really really sorry Huawei "fanboy" XD
Btw, the song in the video is "Illmerica" by Wolfgang Gartner.
It's so good to a point where the U.S. government is trying to shut it down lmfao
Of course its true.
I have a huawei even though it's made in china it's tough ive been using for 2 years and It keeps falling on the groud. But its still working
I was born every phone is made in China
I was born
Surprised you haven't had your personal information stolen. They're known for it
Benisteinzimmer I think the brand is made in china
when you're watching this on a mate 10 pro
Look up the Huawei u8220, Huawei have been producing smartphones for many years, and along with their sub-brand honor have produced some very good quality handsets.
The statement relating to sticking with big players I don't believe is in relation to his ignorance I believe it has an agenda behind it, For example why does a pixel phone make an appearance on a review video of a Huawei handset?, I didn't see anything in the title of video mentioning for example mate 10/pro Vs pixel 2/3.
The appearance or mentions of pixel phones seem to be a regular occurrence on his videos.
Something a little fishy going on me thinks mmmmmm!
U should do the honor 7x
kened Bernardo i have 6x and it's beast
It's constantly sold out on amazon. Must be good!
Me too. Only thing is my fingerprint sensor broke and I have to send it in.
You can change the home screen to have an app drawer if you search around in the settings. I'm using a mate 9 and it's essentially the same.
