A beauty to behold
The latest Honor 10 smartphone is made for photography enthusiasts.
HONOr 10, the latest flagship smartphone launched by Honor Malaysia, has what most other high-end devices don’t – an ultrasonic fingerprint sensor.
the ultrasonic fingerprint sensor is located under the glass and is claimed to work even when the user’s finger is wet or greasy.
the smartphone has a 5.84in full HD+ (2,280 x 1,080 pixels) display with a 19:9 aspect ratio, and a mirror-like glass back.
Honor Malaysia head George Zhao claims that the twin cameras on the back – 24 megapixels and 16 megapixels – take amazing photographs thanks to the company’s improved Ai capability.
“Honor 10 was specially engineered and designed for photography enthusiasts,” said Zhao at the launch in Petaling Jaya.
the phone uses semantic image segmentation technology to separate an image into different layers so it can adjust them individually.
For example, if a photograph has humans, animals and greenery with blue sky, the Ai will be able to identify and work on them separately to bring out the best of each element.
He also said that the Honor 10 has an advanced facial recognition technology that doesn’t distort the faces of the people in a group when the bokeh effect is applied.
“it will recognise the faces in the group photo, and only blur the background – not the people you want to take a photo with. there is also an Ai button that you can use to adjust the photo after it is taken,” Zhao said.
On the front it has a 24-megapixel sensor with “facial lighting compensation” which supposedly ensures that users get the best lighting effect for selfies.
Powered by Hisilicon Kirin 970 octa-core processor, the Honor 10 has 4Gb rAM, 128Gb of internal storage and runs on Android 8.1 with eMui 8.1 user interface.
With a 3,400mAh battery, the device is expected to last for a full day and the superCharge feature is claimed to charge the phone up to 50% in 25 minutes.
the Honor 10 is priced at rM1,699 and comes in Phantom blue, Phantom Green, Midnight black and Glacier Grey. However, if you purchase the device before May 31, you can get it for only rM1,599.
