The company's newest, the P10, continues on the trend of really well-built handsets with strong Leica-branded cameras. The P9 was a pretty good phone, and the Mate 9 Pro was a really great phone (in my opinion the best smartphone of 2016). Can the P10 continue the trend?

First, let's talk hardware design. The P10 feels at once like a continuation of the P9 brand while also making some drastic changes. Example: the dual-camera Leica set-up in the corner of the device under a black visor from the P9 returns for the P10, but the phone's fingerprint sensor has moved from the back to the front. The phone keeps the same cool brushed-metal back of the P9, but all the boxy/square-ish corners have been softened dramatically into an iPhone-like body in the P10.
the P10's default navigation method does away with the traditional Android three button set-up (back, home, overview). Instead, the three actions are achieved by either long-pressing (home), tapping (back) or swiping (overview) on the fingerprint sensor.
Everything about the P10 (in terms of performance) screams top-of-the-line. The Kirin 960 is, in my opinion, the fastest chip on the market. I'm fortunately enough to get my hands on just about new phone, and the Kirin 960 beats the Snapdragon 821, Exynos 8890. I'm pretty sure the Snapdragon 835 on the Samsung Galaxy S8 won't match the Kirin 960 too. The dual Leica cameras also take some of the best photos of any smartphone I've ever seen. Even though the P10's cameras get a spec bump (it's now 20- and 12-megapixel compared to the dual 12-megapixel on the P9), most of the improvement comes from just better software that's able to stitch together a superior photo.
