INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
The new Honor 10 flagship smartphone is shaping up to become a potential opponent to mainstream devices like the Samsung Galaxy S7 or the
worthwhile business smartphone.1
The NPUOne of the most-talked about selling points of the Honor 10 is the NPU (Neural-Network Processing Unit) that lives inside the Huawei
Kirin 970 system-on-a-chip
Expect more to come as more developers jump on the AI bandwagon and tools become more readily available, as well as a greater number of
smartphones coming bundled with the appropriate hardware.2
The audio socketWhile most high-end handsets have decided to move away from the venerable 3.5mm audio connector, the Honor 10 has included
it, which for businesses means being able to switch seamlessly from wireless to wired business headsets when needed.Many offices will still
have pieces of legacy business equipment that require a physical audio port for connecting to a smartphone, and the Honor 10 is one of the
few flagship devices that offers this option.3
Dual SIM standbyThe Honor 10 is also one of the very few flagship smartphones available from high street stores that come with two SIM
consumption.Having a dual SIM card strategy is also great for frequent flyers, allowing them to pop in a local card while keeping their
regular phone number available.4
PrivateSpaceOne of the most interesting business features of the Honor 10 is PrivateSpace
In a nutshell, the service allows users to create a second virtual smartphone which you can use for work, or for anything you want to keep
away from your main account.The feature is ideal when you have kids, for example, who want to use your phone, and may end up downloading
potentially unwanted applications
PrivateSpace is lockable and works independently from the main account
128GB on-board storageThere are no mainstream smartphones on the market other than the Honor 10 that can offer 128GB storage for less than
With up to 90% of that capacity available, it provides a real alternative for those looking to transport big files around without resorting
to yet another badly-protected, easily-lost USB drive (hello GDPR).The fact that the device sports a Type-C connector means that it should
be able to transfer data faster
Alternatively, use the bundled Huawei Share to access files on your phone directly from a computer.6
calls and messages, as well as a battery saver.Combined with PrivateSpace, App Locker and File Safe (which creates an encrypted vault to
hide any file you want from prying eyes), Phone Manager provides a free, yet seamless, privacy feature.7
A novel approach to screen capturesHuawei has brought its Knuckle Sense tool to the Honor 10, which means that to capture a full screenshot
capture, all you need to do is hit the screen firmly twice with one knuckle
For a partial screenshot, use your knuckles to highlight the designated capture area which you can then annotate, and send to your work
colleagues, for example.And for a video recording of your screen (complete with voice), firmly hit the screen twice with two knuckles (as
you would rap on a door).8
App TwinThough not exclusive to Honor or Huawei, App Twin is a rather nifty app that allows you to clone an app within the same smartphone
(Asus has one called: Twin Apps)
You can therefore have two Facebook apps or two Twitter apps running, and, combined with PrivateSpace, you could potentially run four
accounts of any kind on the same physical device.Bear in mind, though, that some applications, like WhatsApp, are tied to your mobile phone
number, so you can only have one app per physical device, per SIM card.Going forwardHonor can improve the overall desirability of the
follow-up to the Honor 10 by adding more accessories to its product line, and by making it waterproof (IP68 preferably)
