Honor 10 will be Flipkart exclusive when it hits the Indian market by May end.
Honor 10 will launch in India by May end, the company confirmed in a press statement. This would fit with earlier rumours for a May release. Huawei’s sub-brand Honor has also confirmed that the phone will be made available exclusively on Flipkart. Honor 10 will make its global debut in London on May 15. The premium mid-end device was launched in China last month.
Honor 10 has been creating a lot of buzz for its unique design and powerful specifications. For instance, the phone’s back has a color-changing effect, similar to the P20 and P20 Pro. In China, Honor 10 is available in two colour options – Phantom Blue and Mirage Purple. Even the specifications aren’t bad either. It sports a 5.84-inch LCD FHD+ display with a resolution of 1080 x 2280 pixels and a ‘notch’ above the screen, similar to the iPhone X.

Honor 10 is powered by a Kirin 970 processor coupled with 6GB RAM and either 64GB or 128GB storage depending upon the region. The device is backed by a 3400mAh battery and runs Android 8.1 Oreo which is based on Huawei’s own EMUI 8.1. The device has two cameras on the back, one with a 24MP unit and another with 16MP. There’s also a 24MP shooter on the front for taking self-portraits. Like the P20 and P20 Pro, Honor 10’s camera will adjust settings automatically to best suit the scene you’re capturing.
