The colourful Honor 10 has dual cameras and wears its notch with pride

And it’ll cost a lot less than the iPhone X

The first question posed to any new smartphone in 2018: Are you notch, or no notch? The new Honor 10 is the former, so get used to it. It’s a notch that has more in common with that of its sort-of cousin the Huawei P20, though, in that it’s less obtrusive than the iPhone X’s trend-starter. Glass on both sides, near bezel-less and sporting an iridescent colour coating – it shifts between purple and blue in the Phantom Blue Edition depending on the viewing angle – the Honor 10 is definitely a looker. You’ll have to make do with an 1080p LCD display, but there’s an under-glass fingerprint sensor, a headphone jack, facial recognition and a Kirin 970 chip keeping everything ticking along. As for cameras, there’s a dual 16MP and 24MP setup on the rear, both of which are assisted by AI trickery, while a 24MP front snapper will make sure your Friday night pub selfies are a lot more detailed than you’d like. The asking price? Just £399.

About

I'm fascinated by all things tech, but if you were going to leave me on a desert island, I'd probably ask for my Nintendo Switch, a drone, and a pair of noise-cancelling cans to block out the relentless seagull racket. When I'm not on Stuff duty you'll probably find me subscribing to too many podcasts, playing too many video games, or telling anyone who will listen that Spurs are going to win a trophy this season.
