Although currently it was necessary to face the new phablet of Huawei to the Galaxy Note 8, actually the phablet of Samsung launched at the beginning of the year is much closer in price, so it is a more natural alternative, as we will see in this comparative: Huawei Mate 10 vs. Galaxy S8 Plus.
Designer
One of the sections in which it can be seen that the Galaxy S8 More is taking very well the passage of time is in the design, thanks to the fact that, in fact, it was one of those that has done the most to popularize the front without frames, with the plus that thanks to its Infinity screens with curved sides, are capable of taking the concept even further, as was the case with the Galaxy Note 8. Both arrive with premium materials (metal combined with glass in the case of the phablet of Samsung) and, of course, they are water resistant and have a fingerprint reader.
Dimensions
El Mate 10 does get a little more out of this frame reduction, however, and is presented as a more compact device (15,05 x 7,78 cm against 15,95 x 7,34 cm), although it must be taken into account that this is achieved not only thanks to its design, but also because its screen is somewhat smaller. In thickness, in fact, they are practically tied (8,2 mm vs 8,1 mm) and, interestingly, it is the Galaxy S8 More the one that comes out gaining in weight (186 grams versus 173 grams).
Screen
As we just mentioned, the screen of the Mate 10 is smaller than the Galaxy S8 More (5.9 inches against 6.2 inches), but it is not the only difference that must be taken into account, because it should also be noted that while it has retained the 16: 9 aspect ratio, that of the Samsung It is already 18: 9, which also mounts Super AMOLED panels. In resolution it also has an advantage, but it must be borne in mind that it is due more than anything to the adaptation to that format (2560 x 1440 against 2960 x 1440).
Unlimited
In the performance section we find quite similar technical specifications, with a processor of the highest level in both cases (Kirin 970 eight core to 2,4 GHz against Exynos 8895 eight core to 2,3 GHz) and 4 GB RAM memory. The Mate 10However, it has a couple of points in its favor, first the artificial intelligence technology that already incorporates its chip and arriving with Android Oreo from the start.
Storage capacity
Yes, they are completely tied in the section of storage capacity, with the two adjusting perfectly to what is already the new high-end standard: 64 GB of internal memory with the option also in both of gaining space externally through card micro-SD.
Cameras
One of the few sections in which it may be noted that the Galaxy S8 More is a slightly older model is in the cameras, simply because it had not yet joined the trend of dual cameras, as then did the Galaxy Note 8. With a camera of 12 SM with 1,4 micron pixels, f / 1.7 aperture and optical image stabilizer on the back and 8 SM on the front, in any case, it is at a very high level here too. In the Mate 10, on the other hand, we have a dual camera of 20 SM, with aperture f / 1.6 and also optical image stabilizer, and another of 8 SM for selfies.
Autonomy
El Mate 10 It may be somewhat thicker and heavier than other phablets but in return it has a battery with a capacity well above that of most of its rivals, as we see again what happens in this case (4000 mAh against 3300 mAh). It must be remembered, however, that consumption is a key factor too, so that we will have to wait until we have comparable data from independent tests to see which of the two comes out winning in this regard.
Huawei Mate 10 vs Galaxy S8 Plus: final balance of the comparison and price
As we mentioned at the beginning and how we have been able to verify below, the Galaxy S8 More continues to withstand the passage of time very well, and in the absence of verifying what happens with the tests of real use in terms of autonomy and performance, the clearest advantage for the Mate 10 It will probably be arriving with Android Oreo and dual camera, if this feature is important to us.
In this case, in addition, there are not too significant price differences that could greatly condition our choice, since at this point it is easy to find the right one. Galaxy S8 More for around 700 Euros, even less sometimes, which is the same as it is going to cost us to get hold of it Mate 10.
