Meet Honor 10, The most affordable flagship in the Philippines yet!

Earlier, Honor surprised everyone at the launch of the Honor 10 flagship smartphone. Why? The global brand priced the Honor 10 at just PHP 23,990!

The flagship for less?

It made the Honor 10 the most affordable high-end smartphone in the land. In comparison, it is cheaper than the other affordable flagships like the PHP 27,990 Mi MIX 2S, PHP 29,990 ZenFone 5Z, and the PHP 30,990 OnePlus 6.

The Honor 10 even has close the specs of the PHP 34,990 Huawei P20 sans the Leica camera branding and the stereo speakers.

That made the Honor 10 a very exciting and interesting device. Let's check it out!

Meet Honor 10

Shiny back!

The Honor 10 boasts a metal and glass body just like other flagship phones. But this time, they have their own Aurora Glass Design for the phantom blue variant with different gradient color shades.

Beautiful design!

The black variant on the other hand has the shiny 3D glass construction that looks so sleek as well.

The handset generally feels premium. It can easily match the build of other higher-end smartphones. It is a quite prone to fingerprint smudges though. It has no water resistance as well.

Small notch

On the front, it has a 5.84-inch FHD+ screen with 2244 x 1080 resolution and Gorilla Glass protection. For those who do not like the notch, Honor added an option to hide it in the display settings.
