The #HuaweiMate10 event ended yesterday but there are two smartphones launched alongside it. Dubbed the Huawei Mate 10 Pro and Porsche Design Mate 10, what does the two have that makes it different from the Huawei Mate 10 itself?
Obviously, the screen resolution differs since the Huawei Mate 10 Pro offers a lower display resolution than the base model. Not only that, but it also has its fingerprint scanner at the back and is IP67 rated. The Mate 10 has a 3.5mm audio jack and SD card slot which the Pro has none of the two. The Mate 10 Pro also has a higher 6GB RAM/128GB ROM option.
Aside from the Porsche Design branding, it also has Porsche Design-themed icons and wallpapers. The Mate 10 Porsche Design provides a whopping 6GB RAM and 256GB ROM. Inside the box are a VIP card, custom-designed leather case, and special black accessories. Only made in Diamond Black color, the smartphone sports a uni-body construction and sleek handcrafted exterior.
