Middle-Class versus Honor View 10
2017 could literally be named “The year of smartphones” with so many innovative features and designs being brought to the smartphone industry.
But the highlight of the year was Google’s latest flagship Google Pixel 2/Pixel 2 XL‘s (Read more about Pixel 2 here) Camera which was a beautiful combination of hardware with Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning.
But is that the only way Artificial Intelligence can be integrated and used in the smartphone industry?
“No” answered Honor with their latest and maybe the first major smartphone of 2018, Honor View 10.
Honor View 10 was launched in India on 8th January 2018 as an Amazon Exclusive.
At the price of ₹29,999, the phone poses a serious threat to current segment leader of that ₹30,000-₹40,000, Oneplus 5T.
How is that possible?
Let the specifications speak for themselves.
- 5.99 inches full HD 18:9(almost bezel-less display)
- 20+16 MP AI-powered primary dual camera setup
- 13 MP AI-powered secondary camera
- 1.8GHz Huawei Kirin 970 octa-core processor
- 3750 Mah Li-ion battery with quick charge
- 6GB RAM
- 128 GB internal storage, expandable up to 256 GB.
- Dual-Sim, Dual Volte
- Facial Recognition
- HEADPHONE JACK
and a lot more.
But what’s special about the phone is that Huawei Kirin 970 processor.
Yes, I am as much excited about the headphone jack as I am about the new processor.
Why?
As decent Bluetooth headphones are still way over the budget from the middle-class perspective and a total battery sucker as well(We will talk about them in the near future).
Coming Back to the Processor, some questions are to be answered.
What’s so special about it?
The processor Honor View 10 comes with is a 1.8 GHz Octa-core Huawei Kirin 970.
It is an Artificial Intelligence processor.
What do you mean by Artificial Intelligence Processor? Is it like the brain of a humanoid robot?
Well, not really.
Apart from the normal processing unit, Kirin 970 have a separate neural processing unit.
It is not something as advanced as a Robot brain but it is kind of the first step in that direction.
Right now, from what I understand, it is mainly doing 3 major tasks on the phone.
- Resource Management
- Camera performance
- AI translator
By optimized resource handling, we are getting a snappier performance from the phone for a longer period of time compared to other flagships.
Apart from that, we are getting an improved battery life due to optimization.
With the integration of AI, there are many ways a camera can improve. From portrait mode to performance in general.
Facial unlock is also implemented using AI onboard on the Honor View 10.
Another impressive feature made possible due to Kirin 970 is the AI translator.
You just have to place the camera in front of a foreign language (native language being English) and it’ll show the live translation of the text on the screen below the original text.
Isn’t that awesome?
Yes, it is.
It opens up a whole new world of possibilities for travellers who are afraid to travel due to the language barrier and to the people who want to study a new language.
Any deal breakers for Honor View 10?
On paper, it is a solid phone with a solid spec sheet.
The Inclusion of AI processor Huawei Kirin 970 makes it even more appealing but there are certain things you should know.
- Kirin 970 is a very fast processor but Snapdragon 835, which is used by most of the competition is still a little faster
- The phone isn’t aesthetically that appealing when compared to Oneplus 5T or LG V30+
- Build quality is actually subpar once put against the competition(If Honor View 10 is an Alto, Oneplus 5T is a tank)
I don’t like EMUI as much as I like Oxygen OS but that’s my personal opinion.
Which one to get? Honor View 10 or Oneplus 5T?
I’ll make your choice simple.
If you have a budget restricted to within ₹30,000, Honor View 10 is your go-to device hands down.
But if you can spare a couple thousand more, than I would suggest you to get the Oneplus 5T.
Is the Honor View 10 for me?
Honor View 10 is your one-way ticket to the Mobile Artificial Intelligence.
But there aren’t many exciting things on that side of the spectrum yet.
Camera and Resourcement Management are the major fields where AI is implemented on the phone but in the truth, smartphone cameras are already doing pretty well without the integration of AI for the same.
Yes, there are minor improvements but most people won’t be able to tell the difference.
Apart from that, AI translator is definitely a game changer, but I am sure it’ll be coming to almost all devices soon.
Count of Google for that.
But still, if you are a tech geek like me, you should just have this phone to get the bragging rights of owning the first AI-powered phone.
If you are an avid traveller, this should come in handy as well.
But if you’re one of those users who do not give a damn about what’s inside the phone if it gets the stuff done, then get a 5T or V30+ as the subpar physical attributed would make you inferior in front of friends who own an iPhone. despite spending those 30,000 bucks.
Is Honor View 10 worth it?
Yes, definitely.
But when you’re spending ₹30,000, it comes down to what use would that phone be.
Buy only after considering that.
If you have any questions or doubts, feel free to drop them in the comment section below. I will try to answer them as soon as I can.
See you in the next one.
