Huawei set to unveil Mate 10 and Mate 10 Pro on October 16th in Munich

Huawei just unveiled its new Kirin 970 processor at IFA 2017 in Berlin, boasting of the processors artificial intelligence capabilities. And soon we’ll be seeing that in two new Huawei flagships coming out next month: the Mate 10 and Mate 10 Pro. According to Richard Yu, CEO of Huawei’s Consumer Business Group, the two devices will be the Chinese company’s first full display mobile phones. This means we might see a similar screen-to-body ratio as what we’ve been seeing lately in a lot of flagship devices. As expected, we’re being told it’s getting a dual camera setup (evidenced by an official tweet from Huawei Australia’s Twitter account).

Not much else is known at this point but as Android Authority says, we should expect the Mate 10 Pro to have things like better resolution display, more RAM, and a boost in internal storage, among others. We just have to wait until next month to find out.
