Display

While the Huawei P9 and P10 are roughly the same size in general, the P10 has a slightly smaller display, moving from 5.2- to 5.1-inches. Similar the P9, notwithstanding, both displays even so utilize IPS-NEO engineering with a resolution of 1920 x 1080. In the P10, this equates to a pixel density of 432 PPI.

Huawei are continuing to apply 1080p displays on their flagships, which are fine for everyday use, particularly at the smaller size used for the P10. I can tell a deviation in sharpness and clarity moving up to 1440p at this size, though I don't imagine many people would be able to discern the small improvement without a side-past-side comparison.

Ane thing I did notice with the P10's display is a slight 'texturing' on white or calorie-free areas, potentially caused by the wave-like RGB subpixel system. Again, this is a very minor issue and something most people wouldn't notice.

In terms of display quality, the P10'south display is like to the P9 in almost every mode. Peak effulgence has improved thanks to a effulgence heave feature in strong lighting, though effulgence at the manual 100% level remains at 530 nits. Contrast is near identical at 1400:1, as are viewing angles, which are very good.

Huawei has continued to use similar calibration for their top-end phones, opting for a moderately cold display with a wider-than-sRGB gamut. My P10 review unit reported sRGB coverage of 134% with a white color temperature of 7305K, which shifts colors away from ruby-red/yellow and towards blue. This leads to an oversaturated experience, although most images and apps expect fantastic with these settings applied.

Default color accuracy isn't astonishing due to these choices Huawei made, though it's non the worst phone I've reviewed. In the display settings, you can utilise the color temperature bike to correct the white balance result by pushing the dot to the border of the circle in the orange/yellowish zone. Even so, this doesn't correct the oversaturation of the brandish, which remains well above sRGB.
