Huawei Mate 10 Pro, Porsche Design Huawei Mate 10 arrive in SA

“As we enter the age of intelligence, AI is no longer a virtual concept but something that intertwines with our daily life. AI can enhance user experience, provide valuable services and improve product performance,” says Likun Zhao, GM, Huawei Consumer Business Group SA. “The Huawei Mate 10 Series introduces the first mobile AI-specific Neural Network Processing Unit (NPU), launching a new era of intelligent smartphones.

"For the South African market, we are bringing in our two most premium phones in this exclusive series – namely, the Huawei Mate 10 Pro and the Porsche Design Huawei Mate 10 – as we believe these are the best phones to meet the mobile needs of South African consumers, especially when it comes to business.”

As the first phone to have on-device artificial intelligence, the Huawei Mate 10 Pro is powered by the Kirin 970, which enables a faster, more customised mobile experience. The Huawei Mate 10 Series is also the world’s fastest smartphone in terms of LTE connectivity and download speeds. The device comes with the world’s first dual 4G SIM support and dual VoLTE connections.

Learning from the user

The on-device AI in Huawei’s new flagship devices enables the phone to learn from its user, eventually being able to anticipate their behaviour.
