Basic Chips
The main advantage over the competitors lies in the chipset of the company’s own production – HiSilicon Kirin 970 (8 cores with frequency up to 2.36 GHz) with hardware support NPU, which is a unit with a neural processor. This means that the smartphone Huawei Mate 10 is equipped with self-learning artificial intelligence, which analyzes all the manipulations of a person with a gadget. The benefits of this are as follows:
- Increase the speed of the device due to the optimization of applications and system processes;
- Instant text and voice translation (more than 50 languages are supported);
- Suppression of noise when talking on the phone, a clearer speech even in the case of whisper (recognizes and amplifies the voice of the owner).
However, the new Huawei Mate 10 will not be so effective at the very beginning. It will take about three months to learn the habits of the owner and adjust to it. The more often a phone is used, the faster and more efficiently the learning process takes place. The graphics are controlled by a 12-core Mali-G72 video accelerator.
High characteristics of Huawei Mate 10 perfectly match with a powerful 4000 mAh battery with the function of fast charging – in 30 minutes the energy will be replenished by half. AI reduces the level of its consumption, so the Huawei Mate 10 will last much longer, and runs without any problems for about two days without recharging. In the mode of listening to music/watching video/calls over 3G, the device works 105/20/30 hours respectively.
