At an extravagant event in London last night, Honor launched the Honor 7X as well as the Honor V10 globally. While the Honor 7X will start selling in India starting tomorrow at a price of Rs. 12,999, the Honor V10 is slated to launch in India on January 8, 2018. Honor says that thanks to its new Kirin 970 SoC, the device will integrate AI capabilities in its UI to make using the phone more intuitive for its users. The phone is expected to replace the Honor 8 Pro in India to be the company’s next flagship smartphone. The phone will be facing tough competition from the newly launched OnePlus 5T.

Keeping up with the trends, the Honor V10 also features an 18:9 display. The IPS LCD panel has a 2160 x 1080p resolution. Honor has also changed the display’s edges this time. So, instead of the squared off display edges we have seen on the Honor 9i or the 7X, the display edges on the Honor V10 are curved.

The other big feature Honor is touting is the front mounted fingerprint scanner. While Honor already has the Mate 10 smartphone which has a similar setup, the Honor V10 will be the first phone to bring this technology to India. As for the UI, the demo unit showed to us was still running on Android 7.0 with the company’s older EMUI.

Honor V10 has an all metal build similar to the Honor 8 Pro. However, since the phone is quite thin, the two cameras protrude from the back. Even in the slim form factor, the phone features a fairly large 3750mAh battery.

The dual cameras setup at the back use a 16MP + 20MP sensor combo. Here, both the cameras use f/1.8 aperture. Honor has employed the same RGB + Monochrome set up, which we have seen on all Honor phones this year.

One of the biggest feature Honor announced was the AI enabled autofocus, which recognises objects in the frame itself. However, the demo device we got to see at the event didn't have any of those features as it was running on an older EMUI platform.
