Huawei P10 has been in the rumors for quite some time now. While there was no official word from the company regarding the P9 successor, the Chinese OEM has finally come out and confirmed that the P10 will be announced at the Mobile World Congress 2017 in Barcelona.
The MWC show will be held starting from February 27, which is about two weeks from now, but Huawei will be there to reveal the new flagship a day earlier. The company took to Twitter with a teaser video for the Huawei P10 launch, but as usual with such videos, not much details was revealed. However, another leak has just come in showing off rendered images and a 360-degree video of the P10.

Coming from renowned leaker @OnLeaks, the new Huawei P10 renders show off a magnificently built handset that matches a lot of what has been said in the rumors. Unlike the P9, the fingerprint scanner and home button are on the front panel, but the Leica-branded dual-lens camera remains unchanged. The edges of the upcoming P10 are rounded and the antenna bands seem to have found a home along the top and bottom edges. Speaking of the bottom edge, you’ll also find a USB-C port, speaker grille as well as a 3.5mm audio jack on this end of the phone.
Unlike the Huawei P10 Plus that is rumored to come in with a dual-edge display, the standard P10 has a flat screen, but this time the side bezels are really thin. A number of OEMs have been ditching the 3.5mm audio jack but it seems Huawei P10 is still going to come with it, much to the delight of many fans. Other specs of the phone that have shown up in recent leaks include a 5.2-inch screen with Full HD resolution, three memory variants of 4GB/32GB, 4GB/64GB and 6GB/128GB. These three will set you back about $510, $600 and $685 respectively.

As for the Huawei P10 Plus, which has not been featured in the rendered images, there will be two variants of 4GB/64GB and 6GB/128GB. These two will cost you about $730 and $830, respectively. But as noted earlier, this variant has a curved dual-edge screen with QHD resolution and has a larger 5.5-inch display screen, hence the higher price tag.
Android 7.0 Nougat with EMUI 5.0 should power the Huawei P10 and P10 Plus out of the box.
