Quite impressed with the Mate 10 Pro in terms of the design. I think it is one of the prettier looking phones this year. Is pretty much same level as like the S8 or V30 liao. Decided to try again this year after good experiences with the P10 and Mate 9.
For those who don't want to watch the video...
I think overall the phone is pretty solid, but I was expecting a bit more polish in regards to software though. It doesn't seem as stable, and maybe it's just Android Oreo. Sometimes apps will stutter a bit here and there.
Also out of the box can full screen youtube video, but a while back i noticed after updating youtube app that button to full screen went missing, but then with the latest software update to mate 10 pro, the button is back again which is a bit
EMUI is quite fully featured, but i think the software design, layout, needs updating though. Speed of the UI is decent too, but doesn't seem as fluid as the Pixel 2 still. On the bright side gaming performance still seems to be superb like on the older Kirin 960. Battery life is solid too as expected.
Camera performance is good too, but the style if image processing might not suit everyone's taste. The more contrast-y and more "artsy" looking type. Most people i think more used to Apple, Samsung, Google's style of processing with more details, sharpening, dynamic range.
Monochrome camera is still very fun, and image quality is still ahead of other phone's monochrome sensor.
Overall it's a nice experience, and a really nice phone. But ah, looking at the street price, it's actually not that far off the Note8... which makes it not so worth it actually.
