the folks at honor reached out to us to sponsor a showcase of their shiny new
flagship the honor view 10 a phone that
takes ai super cereal and we've got not
one but two of them here to check out so sit back relax and enjoy
the view not that the view
i said there was a chance you'd enjoy it
so as the smartphone space continues to mature something that we're seeing a lot
more of is ai as a way of driving the
technology forward like if you think of all the phone features that ai touches
these days not just things like virtual assistants and translators but even
smarter ways of processing data off of
the image sensor for example or managing power so the view 10 uses ai for all of
that design wise view 10 feels pretty
modern flagshipy it's got an all-aluminum chassis that's available in
midnight black and in blue like we have here but also red and gold and then on
the front you'll find a six inch edge to edge display in the nice and wide or
tall as it were eighteen by nine aspect ratio that seems to have pretty much
taken over which i'm personally a fan of and then also a capacitive home button
that also acts as a fingerprint reader something that i personally do prefer
because it allows you to unlock your phone a little bit more conveniently
when it's just lying flat on the table inside the phone you'll find six gigs of
RAM dual sim functionality and 128 gigs
of expandable storage um so that's all
pretty normal stuff but what's a little less normal is the eight core chiron 970
processor something that honor is calling a neural network processing unit
or an npu instead of a CPU so
the idea here is that this chip will learn and adapt over its lifetime with
honor even going as far as to say that it will ensure smooth leg free
operation even after 500 days of use which is pretty attractive considering
how clunky that many phones get after just a year or so
the npu also boasts dramatic improvements in battery performance like
up to 21 hours of browsing from the view 10's 3750 milliamp hour battery which
combined with fast charging over usbc should make it pretty hard to get caught
with a dead phone onto the camera or cameras as it were the view 10 has dual
lenses on the back one 16 megapixel RGB
sensor and then a 20 megapixel monochrome one the aperture can open up
as wide as 1.8 f-stops giving you a nice bokeh effect and that's even without
using software enhancements like the built-in portrait mode and wide aperture
mode the software can also use object
recognition to automatically adjust camera settings according to what is
detected in the frame so if you point the camera at one of the 13 object types
that it recognizes you'll actually see the corresponding icon pop up and then
the software's knowledge of what settings are best will even expand over
time through over-the-air updates and you can also use the image
recognition for text so with the pre-installed microsoft translator app
you just point the camera at text that you don't understand and it'll translate
it instantly right on top of the image
another cool feature is what they call image super resolution so this basically
lets you zoom super far into a picture without it getting ridiculously blurry
because and it's all back to ai again it's trying to smooth out the pixels for
you on the fly flipping over to the 13 megapixel selfie
camera we can experiment with beauty mode which
i obviously do not need at all
but what it'll attempt to do is automatically detect your gender and
then offer desirable image enhancements
not everyone cares about selfies though when it comes to gaming the v10 comes
with game suite which helps balance power savings and gaming performance and
then also allows you to turn off notifications and navigation keys so you
don't get interrupted when you're playing games and then on the subject of
navigation keys the view 10 includes a few neat alternatives to increase
productivity so you can hide your on-screen navigation buttons and
navigate just by tapping and swiping the
capacitive home button or you can use this nifty navigation
dock or the nav nipple as i like to call it
another cool productivity trick is using your knuckles to initiate split screen
you just knock and draw a line across the screen and eerily enough it can
actually tell if you use your finger or your knuckle
which is pretty cool so that's it that's a quick showcase
