Smartphone Honor 10 Premium: advantages and disadvantages

At the end of spring 2018, an innovative smartphone Honor 10 Premium was presented in China. Thanks to its improved technical parameters, the device provides a decent level of performance when performing the most resource-intensive tasks.

About the brand

The newly born HONOR brand is the youngest daughter of the world famous Huawei Consumer Business Group. Quite often, users and sellers combine these brands into one, presenting smartphones from a subsidiary brand as manufactured by Huawei. However, this is not very correct, since Huawei and HONOR gadgets have different manufacturers.

The young concern was born five years ago, reaching considerable heights in this short period of time. When creating smartphones, the company focuses on:

• the introduction of innovative technologies in the functionality of the design of devices so that smartphones will appeal to the younger generation.Given the short period of its existence, the “young at heart” company manufactures devices, adjusting to the tastes of young people;
• creation of smartphones with complex technological characteristics. The motto of the company: "Our devices must be the most modern and practical!" Therefore, all devices manufactured by the company are equipped with such characteristics;
• following fashion and style, without deviating from a solid appearance, is an integral rule of the company. For the most part, all the rules were transferred to the young company from the "big sister", but the main priority is still the task of a youth shade for greater popularity among this generation. After all, to create an ultra-modern smartphone that will not differ in any way from that produced by the “older relative”, for HONOR is tantamount to defeat and shame. Designers and programmers of the company are constantly in search of innovative ideas and cutting-edge technologies, the introduction of which into the created phones will not only attract new customers, but each of them will receive an unforgettable experience after using the device.

Devices from the company are not advertised in social networks or other means of communication. You can buy them only from specialized online stores. This allows you to purchase a unique smartphone at a price much lower than the market price, and make the devices themselves more attractive and interesting due to the low cost.

At the beginning of 2104, the company released its first brainchild Honor 6 with a dual 3D camera and bionic lenses. It was followed by Honor V8, with a screen having a horizontal resolution of approximately 2000 pixels and a dual camera of 12 megapixels.The highlight option in these smartphones was the Magic Live System artificial intelligence option.

The built-in program can freely communicate with a person in a language close to natural, receive information from channels similar to those used by a person when perceiving the world around him, and provide any assistance to his “owner”. Every six months, the company holds various contests on its Internet sites and social networks. According to their results, a lot of new devices are raffled off. Young people also like this approach to distributing their products.

• introduction of modern technologies;
• high quality products;
• attractive features of smartphones at a reasonable price;
• release of more and more interesting gadgets.

• according to some users, frequent interface errors when downloading files from the Internet.
