Unboxing 2018's First Smartphone

**The New Honor View 10: A Glimpse into the Future of Smartphones**

Hey guys, this is Austin. 2017 was a pretty great year for smartphones, but it's time to kick off 2018 right with the new View 10. This video is sponsored by Honor.

So I've had the chance to check out the View 10 just a little bit early. Last year was all about pushing phone design to the next level and introducing AI with smart features like: a camera that can actually figure out what you're taking pictures of, as well as smart-battery management.

That's a big part of the View 10, with a Kirin 970 processor, with a dedicated neural processing unit, you're actually going to be able to get some pretty impressive AI features with this guy. The phone itself is in a pretty nice-looking shade of blue, and it comes with an enormous power-brick.

The idea is that with Super Charge, you're going to be able to charge the phone up to 50% in 30 minutes, which is nice. You also get a USB A to USB C cable, and take a closer look at the phone, and it's an all-aluminum build, with the dual-camera's around back.

When you take a look up-front, it's a pretty close to bezel-less display. The screen is six inches, and pretty much all you're going to get here is just a small fingerprint since they're on bottom, but other than that, it's all-screen up-front.

Something else you're getting is not only a USB C port on the bottom, but thankfully, we also still have the headphone jack. With a Kirin 970 on-board, not only are you getting an octa-core processor, backed up with either four or six gigs of RAM, but you also have 64 or 128 gigs of storage, which can be expanded with MicroSD.

And it also has a potent, 12-core GPU. Over the last couple of years, Honor's done a good job of making sure that their phones don't slow down that much over time. So, of course, being brand new, everything is super-snappy and as responsive as you would expect.

But they've actually done a lot of work on the backend to make sure that it will stay snappy even after a couple of years. Something that this helps with is with gaming. So not only do you have that powerful processor, but you also have games like Modern Combat Versus that will support the 2:1 aspect ratio.

Now, yes, not all Android games are going to support this just yet. But the ones that do, like this, actually pretty good on display, and I didn't die, cool. You've also got the GameSuite, which gives you some options depending on what game you're playing.

For example, when I'm playing Modern Combat Versus, maybe I wanna switch it over to Gaming Mode to give me maximum performance. Or I don't really care about that and just want to save some battery, I can do that as well.

Now you also have some options for making sure that your gameplay isn't interrupted by notifications, and you can also hide the navigation keys. The View 10 has a nice-looking, six-inch panel with a resolution of 2160 x 1080.

The screen is nice; you're getting good color, you're getting good contrast. And again, with that screen resolution being a little bit wider than normal, it means that you actually get a little bit extra added video, especially if it has been shot in widescreen.

This phone also features AI-powered cameras, which can automatically adjust settings and take better photos. The camera app is very user-friendly, making it easy to take high-quality photos with just one tap.

The View 10 also comes with an AI-powered assistant, which can help you with various tasks such as setting reminders or sending messages. It's very intuitive and easy to use, and it can learn your habits over time to become more personalized.

In terms of battery life, the View 10 has a sizeable 3750 milliamp-hour battery, which is a lot bigger than most other flagships today. Combined with the Super Charge feature, you should be able to charge it up to 50% in just 30 minutes.

So the bottom line is that AI is absolutely going to take over smartphones soon, and the View 10 does a good job of giving you a glimpse into the future. I'm curious; what do you guys think about the new Honor View 10? Let me know in the comments below, and I will catch you on the next one!

some cool AI featuresthat go along with the camera.So for example, if I try to take a pictureof some text here, it'sactually automatically gonnasee that and popup andoptimize it for that text.It also can recognizeother scenes, for example,it knows when I'm tryingto take a picture of Ken.And will get me the mostbeautiful shot possible.I mean, you know, given what it's gotto work with, of course.You also get a surprisingly good-looking,portrait selfie mode.So, if I snap a shot here,that is really not bad at all.So even though it only hasa single camera up-front,it's still able to do areally good job of detectingwhat's me, what's the backgroundand being able to blur that out.You also have other featuresthat take advantage of AI,including the built-inMicrosoft Translator.So, using some wonderful translationsfrom our good buddy Ken,you can see that it actuallydoes a pretty good jobof recognizing that this is Japaneseand translating even the small text.There's also a built-in Smart Assistant,which will do its best job to be ableto give you notifications,when you say you're late for something,or when it thinks that you actually mightwant a reminder for something.There's also the Screen-Split mode,which a lot of other Android phones have.And this'll allow youto run a couple of apps,such as YouTube and say thePlay Store at the same time.Especially useful consideringjust how big this screen is.You're also getting a sizeable3,750 milliamp-hour battery.Which is a lot bigger thanmost other flagships today,and combined with the Super Charge,to allow you to charge itup to 50% in
