Key features of the HONOR 10i

Triple-Lens Camera to Capture What You See

The HONOR 10i’s 24MP primary camera captures the view with breath-taking realism, rich in detail, sharpness and colour. With the f/1.8 wide-aperture lens and the Quadra CFA sensor, the camera system boosts light sensitivity and lets more light pass through, allowing for epic shots in the low-light environments.

 

The 120-degree ultra-wide angle lens is a feature you will only see in premium smartphones. You will be able to capture the full scene (e.g. iconic buildings, full view of long beach, panoramic city view), regardless of where you are.

 

To elevate the photography game, the Super Night Shoot mode effortlessly produces silky smooth night shots without a tripod, while the AI multi-scene recognition, capable of recognizing 22 categories of objects and 500+ scenarios, helps you create professional-grade photographs with ease.

 

Breakthrough 32MP Selfie Camera

The HONOR 10i’s AI-enhanced 32 MP selfie camera is HONOR’s best front-facing camera setup yet. It takes selfies to another level, effortlessly converting selfies into 2.3x1.7m-sized celebrity posters without compromising on detail. The built-in AI beauty algorithms intelligently touch up selfies based on gender, age and skin tone, creating the most perfect yet natural look you could ever want.  

 

With the AI backlighting imaging technology, the HONOR 10i selfie camera makes sure the most flattering amount of light is well-captured under any conditions – whether backlight, sidelight or front light. The impressive lighting capabilities are made possible by the flawless combination of a 32MP ISO-enhanced lens, the screen ring light-filling technology and the Quadra sensor.  

 

Impeccable Experiences Across All Dimensions

The powerful combination of hardware and software delivers an upgraded and flagship-like experience that helps you get the most out of everything you do – all in your palm.

 

The HONOR 10i is an exquisitely-crafted art piece in an avant-garde gradient design that comes with three beautiful finishes – Midnight Black, Phantom Red and Phantom Blue. It is ergonomic with a 3D curved body and rounded corners. With a minimalist dew-drop notch and an over 90% screen-to-body ratio, its 6.21-inch FullView HD screen creates an immersive entertainment experience.

 

The HONOR 10i is powered by a Kirin 710 chipset that delivers a seamless and fast experience, comparable to that of a flagship smartphone. The 4GB RAM further enhances the processing speeds, while 128GB storage enables you to keep your favourite moments and bring all the hit TV dramas on-the-go.

 

Based on the EMUI 9.0 operating system, the HONOR 10i enables a smarter life. The EMUI 9.0, optimized by the latest Android 9 system, represents an overall software upgrade that features a concise user interface, enhances data management system and optimises user experience. Not only will the phone be your dedicated and caring personal assistant that counts calories in every meal with just a scan on the food but will also be your own personal search engine that answers all of the questions.
