The Honor Note 10 has been officially launched, and the latest device from Huawei intends to broaden consumer options when it comes to handsets sporting large displays. The trend as of late is the influx of devices with a bezel-less screen, making them mobile devices that come close to the size of a tablet.

Up front, the Honor Note 10 sports a 6.95-inch (2220 x 1080 pixels, 18.5:9 aspect ratio) AMOLED capacitive touchscreen. The device is measured at 177 x 85 x 7.7 and weighs about 230 grams. The large device comes in a classy mold, toting a glass front and rear cover complemented by an aluminum frame.

The Honor Note 10 does not run short of power, relying on an octa-core Kirin 970 SoC and a Mali-G72 MP12 GPU. The device can support up to 8 GB of RAM with a 64 GB and 128 GB storage option. Users who need more storage can get an additional 256 GB using the microSD slot according to the listed specs over at GSM Arena.

With regards to the built-in cameras, the Honor Note 10 boasts of a dual rear camera (16 MP + 24 MP) that can capture videos at 2160p @ 30 fps. It also sports a 13 MP secondary camera up front, something that selfie-taking lovers should applaud.

Other notable features include a rear-mounted fingerprint sensor, Dolby Atmos Sound, USB Type-C, 3.5 mm audio jack and a non-removable Li-Ion 5,000 mAh battery. The device will be available in Midnight Black and Blue Color options and have Android 8.1 Oreo out of the box.

Sporting a massive display, the Honor Note 10 should appeal to folks who love to use their mobile device for gaming and watching videos. It comes with HDR10 support and boats of an AI video quality enhancer (can improve video quality up to 20-percent), key specs on why this device has been christened as an entertainment monster.

Also complimenting the media entertainment capabilities of the Honor Note 10 are the symmetric stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos support. Given these tempting capabilities, can the device measure up and maintain optimal performance?

Concern on potential CPU overheating is evident although Honor already has that covered. They have added the PC level liquid cooling system known as “The Nine” liquid cooling technology. It enhances heat dissipation capacity by 41-percent, alleviating concerns of burning out the device.

The Honor Note 10 should already be out by now and available from Huawei’s Vmall, Suning.com, and Tmall, according to Gizmo China. Pricing varies and depends on the memory and storage combination buyers would choose. Below are the variants to choose from:

  • 6 GB + 64 GB ($410)
