On the last pasted protective film. It is fragile and quickly scratched. After removing the protection, you can find that on the surface of the display there is no oleophobic coating. It is instantly covered with fingerprints.

The back cover is not a pleasure either - the main body. The colorful coating on it is quickly scratched, on it scuffed areas are formed. They are quite easily removed at first. However, with long-term use of the paint is easy to erase to the metal, which does not add to the device attractiveness.

She does not have a stabilization system, flash. but the quality of the selfie is goodIn addition, the camera is able to automatically change the viewing angle for shooting wide group photos. Disadvantages are also expected. When the scene's illumination falls, the dynamic range narrows, but to the manufacturer’s credit, the processing protocols suppress digital noise well.

Much more interesting is the main dual camera Huawei P10. She has two optical sensors: 12 Mp color and 20 Mp black and white, which allow you to get really high-quality images. Besides:

• a two-tone flash is set, including for setting the white balance clearly and quickly;
