Huawei P10 and P10 Plus launched in Qatar

Huawei’s latest flagship models, the P10 and P10 Plus, have been launched in Qatar by the Intertec Group. Packed with unique features, the new addition to Huawei’s P Series combines elegant hardware and the latest advances in software. Huawei’s CBG Middle East multi-country director Yu Zhaoyuan and Intertec Group divisional manager Asraf NK led the unveiling of the P10 and P10 Plus at an event on Monday.“It is our pleasure to associate with Intertec and we are expecting a good growth of Huawei business in Qatar. Globally, Huawei’s growth is also very promising and expecting the same in this region,” Zhaoyuan said.Asraf thanked Intertec’s partners in Qatar for their support in growing Huawei business in the Qatar market. He also announced the opening of Huawei’s first and only showroom in the Middle East in Doha’s Al Nasr Street today at 4.30pm. Huawei’s channel manager Rao bin Xiang, device retail manager Hanish Hamza and Intertec Group marketing manager Midhun Joseph also attended the launch event.The P10 and P10 Plus introduce the new Leica front and back cameras with cutting-edge portrait features. The smartphones use a Leica Dual-Camera 2.0 (for the P10) and Leica Dual-Camera 2.0 Pro Edition (for the P10 Plus), which feature artistic portraits with precise 3D facial detection, dynamic illumination, portrait enhancements, natural bokeh effect and hybrid zoom. It also features the world’s first Leica front camera with a new, brighter sensor and larger aperture for outstanding self-portraits.With a 20-megapixel monochrome sensor, a 12-megapixel RGB sensor and enhanced fusion algorithms, the new P Series deliver superior technical and artistic photography features on a smartphone. The devices’ portrait features include a precise 3D facial detection technology that leverages 190 detailed identification nodes for quicker, more accurate feature recognition.“Facial detection is the foundation of Huawei’s dynamic illumination and portrait enhancement features,” Zhaoyuan said. Using the new depth-of-field algorithm, a natural bokeh effect creates sharper, clearer and more vivid colours in the foreground, while the background remains elegantly blurred. The natural bokeh effect is available in the RGB and monochrome modes, and can be refocused after the image is taken.Portrait features are also available with the 8-megapixel front camera for exceptional selfies. The P10 and P10 Plus automatically detect whether a user is taking a selfie or an adaptive selfie with multiple people. If the device detects an adaptive selfie, it switches to wide-angle mode. Co-developed with GoPro, the two smartphones also feature Highlights, a mobile editing tool which creates a video of users’ images and videos complete with transitions and music tracks. Highlights can be shared with friends and family in a few taps.Compared to competitor devices with protruding cameras, the P Series’ signature camera window is flush with the back of the device. Both its 5.1-inch and 5.5-inch models feature the latest Corning Gorilla 5 Glass protection and narrow bezel edges, while the P10 Plus has a 2K display for more detail.The P10 and P10 Plus’ fingerprint sensor is on the front of the phone and under one continuous pane of glass. The fingerprint sensor replaces the navigation bar making the screen view bigger, while also making smart touch navigation gestures faster. Layered on top of the machine learning algorithm is Huawei Ultra Memory. First, the machine learning algorithm learns how users use their phones. Then, its Ultra Memory anticipates app usage and manages RAM, so the apps and services used most often load faster and outperform in multitasking. With 3,200 and 3,750 mAh batteries, the smartphones support the SuperCharge technology. The low voltage, low temperature fast charging solution comes with a  5-gate protection mechanism, which offers real-time voltage, current and temperature monitoring to make charging not only fast but safe.
