To follow modern trends, you simply need a smartphone with a high-resolution camera, a powerful processor, and a large amount of storage. The newer the phone model, the more cool improvements it has. Therefore, when looking for a good gadget, users have a lot of options. If you focus on new products, you may have a choice: Huawei P10 or iPhone 7? The developers have provided both devices with high technical performance, so it is necessary to understand in detail which device is the best.
release date
Let's start with the release date of the devices. iPhone 7 went on official sale at the end of September 2021. The new model, however, like all previous Apple models, caused a great stir. They started booking the gadget on the official website long before the start of sales in order to be the first to get their hands on the new product. Of course, critics immediately appeared and unanimously began to say that the phone was not worth the money and that its price was overpriced due to the brand.
Huawei P10 appeared on the market in February 2021 and also attracted serious attention. Of course, the developers have equipped the new model with two modern cameras that simply impress with the quality of the photographs. This gadget can compete even with the development from Apple.
Equipment
There is nothing interesting to expect in terms of configuration. Everything is quite banal, with the exception of a few accessories.
Here's a list of what you'll find included with the Huawei P10 and iPhone 7:
- Charging cable and, of course, the charger itself;
- Instructions for use of the gadget;
- A special clip for convenient removal of the SIM card slot;
- Stereo headset in the form of wired headphones. For iPhone, these are the popular EarPods.
Now to the differences. In the case of the Huawei P10, you can thank the developers for pasting a basic protective film onto the smartphone screen. It's a small thing, but nice.
Apple developers are also generous this time. They added a mini adapter as standard that can be used for headphones. However, it is worth noting that the wire turned out to be quite flimsy. But still, at least something new.
Performance
The technical characteristics of smartphones are collected in a comparative table:
The process of comparing hardware is complicated by the fact that manufacturers install different processors in their products. IOS is characterized by powerful parameters and successful optimization. Therefore, high scores do not guarantee that the smartphone is better.
The amount of memory is almost the same. The Honor 10 has 1 GB more RAM, but the iPhone X has more internal memory.
Both phablets cope successfully with all everyday tasks. Games run at high settings. The Honor smartphone provides high multitasking; on the iPhone, the processor can close applications at its discretion to save battery. In AnTuTu tests, the iPhone X scores higher.
Although Honor 10 has an advantage in terms of technical parameters, in practice the iPhone X turns out to be more powerful and productive.
Design
It’s best to start comparing Huawei P10 and iPhone 7 with appearance. It is the design that first of all pays attention to the buyer. They can both attract attention and repel.
The new iPhone model has undergone minor design changes. The plastic strips that were previously placed on the back of the smartphone were placed on the ends. This had a positive effect on the overall appearance.
iPhone 7
In addition, new iPhone 7 colors are now on sale - matte black and onyx black. The second option can only be found on devices with 128 and 256 GB of permanent memory. It is worth noting that reviews of the matte version are very enthusiastic. Users talk about the laconic and strict design.
Another advantage of the new look of the iPhone 7 is convenience. Previous models constantly slipped out of the hands due to the too smooth back panel. You can easily carry iPhone 7 without a case. The likelihood of dropping it is much less.
The camera in the iPhone 7 is also located much more conveniently. She stopped clinging to jeans pockets due to the change in the eye.
The most important innovation in the iPhone 7 is water resistance. According to the developers, the device can now be underwater without serious consequences. But to be completely frank, the developers can talk a lot, this does not mean that everything should be taken literally and take a bath with your iPhone every day. It's like playing with fire, or in this case, with water.
iPhone 7
The first thing that distinguishes the Huawei P10 from its opponent is the colors for every taste. There are no specific frames; there is a wide variety of shades available. Users are accustomed to the fact that most smartphones come in only two or three types, but here a bright creative person has plenty to choose from.
The body of the Huawei P10 itself is made of aluminum, however, like most gadgets in this class, and the front side has 5D glass.
In the basic configuration of the P10, a protective film is glued to the screen, but you shouldn’t expect much from the factory protection: it catches all scratches and after a month of use it already becomes unusable.
The back panel is not at all resistant to mechanical damage and after a short time of rubbing against any other object, for example, keys in your pocket, it becomes covered with abrasions and scratches. If you immediately put on the protective cover, you can prevent damage.
Huawei P10
Dimensions and design
Externally, Honor 10 is larger, more massive and heavier . Its parameters are 71.2x149.6 mm and 7.7 mm in thickness. In contrast, the iPhone has dimensions of 67.1 x 138.3 mm, while it is flatter - only 7.1 mm in thickness. Accordingly, the weight of the first model is also slightly larger - 153 g versus 138 g. Although these differences are minimal, for some they may be decisive when choosing, since the more convenient it is to hold the device in your hand or carry it in your pocket (small bag), the more comfort from its use.
Honor 10
Design
As for the design, the body of the iPhone 7 vs Honor 10 phones consists of metal and glass. iPhone 7 has a whole palette of colors to choose from: black, gray, silver, gold and pink. Whereas Honor 10 is presented in darker tones (black, gray, green and blue), which attract the eye with their tints. This effect was achieved through the use of laminated glass.
iPhone 7
Ergonomics
Next you should pay attention to ergonomics and functionality. In Honor 10, the speaker and connectors have been moved to the bottom. The button under the monitor is touch sensitive; it performs the “home” function and is a scanner for the owner’s fingerprint (the same as in the iPhone 7).
On a note! The Honor 10 uses ultrasound scanning, which is considered more effective, for example, if the finger is wet.
At the top of the monitor, Honor has a unibrow with a camera, speaker and touch sensors. The aspect ratio is 19:9, where the display itself takes up about 80% of the front panel.
Unibrow Honor 10
As for the external advantages of the iPhone, it is worth noting the monitor’s oleophobic coating and better protection against dust and moisture (IP67). Another notable thing is the lack of a headphone jack. It is recommended to connect this headset to power (using a Lighting adapter) or generally use wireless models. There is also no memory card slot. On the one hand, this can bring some inconvenience, on the other hand, a smaller number of outputs on the case increases the protection of the “internals” from the effects of an unfavorable environment. But everyone must decide for themselves what is better - more capabilities or reliability and durability.

Display
The characteristics of the iPhone 7 with regards to the display have not budged much:
- Diagonal in inches - 4.7;
- Resolution in pixels - 1334x750;
- Oleophobic coating against fingerprints;
- Supports multiple clicks - multi-touch;
- The brightness adjustment for lighting is, as always, at the level.
There is one more small advantage - the volume of the picture. This is achieved due to the expanded color gamut. The predominance of warm shades is also noticeable. It’s strange that the developers, when releasing a new model, do not want to increase the screen resolution at all. Although, on the other hand, they can also be understood: this will cost too much, and the result in the end will be almost invisible.
It’s quite difficult to say that the iPhone is better than the Huawei P10 in terms of display. The Chinese smartphone has a screen diagonal of 5.1”. And in terms of resolution, the P10 is significantly superior to its competitor - 1080x1920.
Huawei P10's automatic brightness adjustment is not very good. When indoors, the screen becomes too dim. But on the street it performs quite well. But the oleophobic coating is completely absent. Because of this, fingerprints will inevitably remain on the display. It is simply impossible to walk without protective film.
The advantages of P10 include high color rendering. There is also a very useful function in the settings - choosing a color scheme. If your eyes are tired of the display, you can adjust the shades for more comfortable use. Another nice bonus is the glove mode. When this mode is activated, the screen becomes more sensitive.
Appearance of Honor 10 and iPhone 7
The iPhone 7 line includes 5 colors: silver and 2 types each of black and gold.
Honor 10 has a slightly more modest choice: two “mirages” (blue and purple) with an iridescent body, black and gray.
In the “mirage” version, Honor’s body is made of laminated glass, the shimmer effects look really impressive. Perhaps, according to this parameter, the comparison will be in favor of Honor 10.
As for the dimensions, Honor turned out to be somewhat more massive: thickness 7.7 mm versus 7.1, width and height, respectively, 71.2 x 149.6 versus 67.1 x 138.3 mm, weight 153 and 138 g. One of the reasons is a more capacious battery. If the iPhone 7 does not reach 2000 mAh, then the Honor 10 stores up to 3400 mAh. This is quite enough for active use throughout the day, plus there is accelerated charging in 25-30 minutes for half the capacity.
Interestingly, Honor 10 uses ultrasound to scan your finger. This allows you to effectively recognize your fingerprint even if your hand is wet.
Sound
As for the sound characteristics, the iPhone has always maintained a certain brand and had a clear sound. “Seven” in addition received a couple more properties, one of which can undoubtedly be classified as positive, but the second depends on how you look at it.
The appearance of a second external speaker is definitely a plus. One is placed in the same place - below. The second one is designed for conversations. Thanks to this, the sound became even clearer and a little louder.
The developers considered the headphone jack unnecessary and removed it completely. They cited the fact that the connector simply takes up extra space in the case, which could be useful for something more useful. For example, the seventh iPhone's battery capacity increased slightly due to its absence. You can listen to music in a wired headset, but with the help of a special adapter cable, which, fortunately, is included in the kit. This feature is difficult to assess unambiguously.
iPhone 7
The only good thing is that there is no need to complain about the sound quality. Everything works smoothly and cleanly.
The Huawei P10 is not inferior to its competitor in terms of sound purity. But the built-in speakers are a big let down: the sound volume is not impressive. Huawei can be equated to one of the quietest smartphones.
The wired headset is also not of particular quality. When connecting, interference appears, although small, but because of this, the sound quality is lost.
The only advantage is the built-in music player. True, it has minimal functionality: folders, albums and songs.
Huawei P10
Fashionable deep blue and white body colors
The device I tested was gold, but it also comes in black, white, and blue. The last couple are especially interesting.
Even six months before the release of the iPhone 7, insiders said that the device would receive two new colors - black and blue. Instead of the second, it surprised us with a couple of options for the first - a strange decision, and the competitive option in this regard looks clearly more advantageous .
With the presentation of the ceramic Apple Watch Series 2 in white, many realized that this is the color of the smartphone they want to hold in their hands. Nothing like this can happen with the iPhone, but a competitor offers it all today.
Cameras
The camera is one of the main features of new devices. It is necessary to compare the cameras of Huawei P10 and iPhone 7, as there are several interesting points here.
The front camera of the iPhone 7 has a good resolution - 7 megapixels and a new built-in module, making self-portraits even brighter and higher quality.
The main camera, oddly enough, is inferior in shooting quality to previous models. Its resolution is 12 megapixels. But you can't say that from the image. If the lighting is standard (we don’t take into account evening time), then older iPhones will produce much richer images. And that's a fact. But the night mode on the iPhone 7 is quite good. It has good built-in high-aperture optics and a stabilizer - a complete set for shooting in low light. The background blur function has been noticeably improved.
iPhone 7
That's probably all. What does P10 have to offer?
In terms of front camera resolution, Huawei has an advantage, albeit a small one - 8 megapixels. The main camera is a dual version with resolutions of 20 megapixels and 12 megapixels. All modes and settings are extremely clear. Thanks to the two main cameras, the background is blurred very naturally, and the focus point can be moved even after the photo has already been taken. The only thing you need is high frame sharpness.
The main camera of the Huawei P10 takes excellent photos in the light, but in the dark you can’t count on a beautiful shot. The light sensitivity is not enough for this.
A comparison of the Huawei P10 and iPhone 7 cameras shows that each user first needs to decide what kind of photos he wants to take, in what lighting, etc., and then decide which model is most suitable for this.
Camera comparison
The front camera of the iPhone 10 does its job well. The background blur is high quality. The rear camera does not show very good results. Manual setting is gone. The photo is cropped at the edges rather than stretched to fill the entire screen. You can shoot video in 4k resolution, but the quality degrades when viewed on other screens. Sound is recorded with one microphone.
The Honor 10 cameras are also good, the pictures are of high quality during the day. Noises will be noticeable at night. There is no laser focusing or optical stabilization.
The sound of music is better on the iPhone X, which has a conversational and multimedia speaker that work together. But the quality of noise reduction is worse here; the sound from the earpiece is barely audible in a noisy room.
Memory and memory card
There are no complaints about the iPhone 7 when it comes to memory. Everything repeats itself from year to year, from model to model:
- The device's RAM is 2 GB;
- Depending on the price category, all iPhones are classified according to the amount of permanent memory: 32 GB, 128 GB and 256 GB. Each user can choose a model to suit their needs;
- As always, there is no slot for additional storage in the form of a memory card.
IPhone 7
P10 offers in return:
- 4 GB of RAM, which makes the device work smoother and more stable;
- The smartphone has built-in memory of 32, 64 and 128 GB, depending on the price;
- If necessary, you can expand the storage using a memory card up to 256 GB.
Huawei P10
Processor and memory
It is interesting to compare the characteristics of the hardware. There is no surprise in the iPhone 7: the A10 processor uses 4 cores (each speed is 1.8 GHz) supported by 2 GB of memory. But the competitor already demonstrates 8 cores: half operate at the same 1.8 GHz, while the remaining 4 deliver up to 2.36 GHz. It was also given more memory - a 4 GB version is available in Europe, while Asian countries will even receive a 6 GB model.
But in answering the question of which is better, Honor 10 or iPhone 7, not only numbers play a role. The fact is that Honor's updated processor uses developments in the field of neural networks to significantly speed up data processing. In particular, this is used to improve photos on the fly - let's move on to camera comparisons.
Sensors
Regarding sensors, as always, the standard list on both devices:
- Magnetic compass;
- Gyroscope;
- Accelerometer;
- Proximity sensor for timely blocking;
- Light sensor to automatically adjust display brightness;
- Fingerprint scanner.
Huawei P10
Connection
What can we say about communication? Both smartphones are completely identical in this matter. All signals are received and transmitted clearly:
- 2G;
- 3G;
- 4G;
- LTE
- GPRS.
Smaller copies of SIM cards - Nano SIM - have come into fashion. Therefore, you should not be surprised that both Huawei and iPhone work with this version of SIM.
iPhone 7
Dual camera, available only to phablets
Apple began differentiating the iPhone since the days of the Six. Then the company released two smartphones in different sizes, which also differed in functionality. The phablet was equipped with optical stabilization, but its younger brother was not.
The manufacturer continued this with the release of the “seven”. Only now the Plus version has been equipped with a cool dual camera with a number of interesting features that are not available to fans of compact smartphones.
At the same time, Huawei offers a similar solution in a relatively compact form factor , which makes it an excellent alternative to the “stripped-down” iPhone 7.
Battery life and performance
The most important characteristic when buying a new gadget is its performance. Nobody wants to suffer with lags and freezes after a month of work. Therefore, you need to monitor this indicator carefully.
iPhone 7 has a 4-core processor with a core frequency of 2.34 MHz and a 6-core graphics chipset.
The battery capacity of the “seven” is 1960 mAh. If you look at older iPhone models, this is a relatively good indicator. Moreover, we must take into account that the battery size is already increased due to the lack of a headphone jack. It’s scary to think what would have happened in the end if the wired headset had been left as the basic one.
Generally speaking, compared to older versions, iPhone 7 has increased in performance and speed. At first glance, all applications launch without problems and very quickly. But, judging by the reviews, after some time the device still occasionally freezes. It is quite possible that the fault lies not with the processor, but with the IOS system itself.
A comparison with the “seven” from Apple showed that the Huawei P10 is clearly in the lead. The Chinese smartphone has an eight-core processor: four cores operate at a frequency of 2.4 MHz, and four more have a frequency of 1.8 MHz.
The Huawei P10 battery has a capacity of 3200 mAh. This is almost one and a half batteries of an Apple device.
Briefly about the operation of the Chinese device: despite good RAM and a very powerful processor, Huawei sometimes overheats and begins to experience lags. But overall the device is decent.
Huawei P10
Performance and autonomy
iPhone 7 vs Honor 10 are the same in terms of performance. Honor 10 has a new processor with technologies for shooting in 4K and saving battery capacity. In synthetic tests the score is about 150-160 thousand points, which is quite a lot. The device performs well under load, handles any game and has no complaints about its operation.
Huawei Honor 10 test
Important! A nice thing: even under very heavy loads, the Honor 10 body remains cool.
Apple 7 is a device with an updated processor and graphics chip at the time of release. The user experience is pleasant, all games are optimized for their own hardware, so there are no complaints. At first, after the device was released, you could see a somewhat jerky animation when minimizing and switching between applications, but the problem went away as updates were released. Test score: 175 thousand points. In other words, released 2 years earlier than Honor 10, the device produces better numbers. It's hard to be surprised by this. Apple always performs well. The performance rating is an A for both devices.
Apple 7 test
When choosing based on autonomy - Honor 10 or iPhone 7, victory remains with the Android device . Apple gadgets behave well, but the batteries here cannot withstand heavy loads. There is no particular point in giving numbers; suffice it to say that you can walk with Honor all day and not worry about him sitting down. The iPhone can't do this. At least when actively using it. So the victory deservedly goes to Honor 10.
operating system
Apple developers, as always, do not deviate from their ideas and continue to create models on the iOS platform. What is remarkable about this system? A short list of features looks like this:
- Intuitive menu. Simple interface;
- Low battery consumption. The battery drains quickly due to the use of cellular data and other Internet applications. If you disable data transfer, the system will consume a small percentage of the charge;
- Practicality. The system is very well thought out and provides users with more advanced software;
- Cloud storage. If the user uses several Apple gadgets at once, it is convenient to place all files in the “cloud” and have access to them from any of the Apple devices;
- Backup. If suddenly something goes wrong in the operation of the gadget, this will avoid data loss;
- Wireless networks such as WI-FI work automatically;
- Designed for many tasks. Consequently, it spends a minimum of resources on minimized applications.
iPhone 7 came out with the already updated iOS 10 operating system.
Huawei P10 runs on the standard Android 7 system with the proprietary EMUI 5 shell. Its features:
- Openness. This is an advantage for advanced users who like to experiment with firmware;
- Possibilities. It is quite interesting to work with this system, but only on condition that you have some knowledge about it. The OS has wide functionality, but is very lacking in intuitiveness;
- A large amount of free software is freely available.
Price
A detailed comparison of Huawei P10 and iPhone 7 helps you figure out which model to prefer. The issue of price, as a rule, plays a decisive role.
As for the pricing policy, iPhone 7 does not plan to reduce prices for its releases. Each new gadget that comes out costs several times more than the previous one. This time, the user will have to pay 40,000 rubles or more for the model with the smallest memory capacity of 32 GB. A modification with 128 GB of ROM will cost from 50,000, and the largest device in terms of built-in memory will cost 60,000 rubles. But, oddly enough, despite its rather high prices, Apple has a large number of its fans who watch with bated breath the release of each new version, and often breaks records for pre-orders.
Huawei is much more loyal to its customers when it comes to prices. For the P10 model with the lowest memory capacity of 32 GB, you will have to pay 24,000 rubles, for the average volume of 64 GB the price is at 27,000, and for a smartphone with a memory of 128 GB, the user needs to pay 42,000 rubles. Such affordable prices allow Huawei developers to be leaders in the flagship segment.
Which phone is better - HONOR 10 or IPHONE 7
For many years now, Chinese smartphones have been fiercely competing with American brands. The flagship of 2021 is considered to be the Honor 10 model from Huawei, which in its technical and consumer properties is reminiscent of Apple's iPhone 7. To understand to what extent the new products from eastern manufacturers have been able to catch up or overtake the leaders in the elite class digital technology market, you should compare all the main characteristics and capabilities.
Dimensions and design
Externally, Honor 10 is larger, more massive and heavier . Its parameters are 71.2x149.6 mm and 7.7 mm in thickness. In contrast, the iPhone has dimensions of 67.1 x 138.3 mm, while it is flatter - only 7.1 mm in thickness. Accordingly, the weight of the first model is also slightly larger - 153 g versus 138 g. Although these differences are minimal, for some they may be decisive when choosing, since the more convenient it is to hold the device in your hand or carry it in your pocket (small bag), the more comfort from its use.
Design
As for the design, the body of the iPhone 7 vs Honor 10 phones consists of metal and glass. iPhone 7 has a whole palette of colors to choose from: black, gray, silver, gold and pink. Whereas Honor 10 is presented in darker tones (black, gray, green and blue), which attract the eye with their tints. This effect was achieved through the use of laminated glass.
Ergonomics
Next you should pay attention to ergonomics and functionality. In Honor 10, the speaker and connectors have been moved to the bottom. The button under the monitor is touch sensitive; it performs the “home” function and is a scanner for the owner’s fingerprint (the same as in the iPhone 7).
On a note! The Honor 10 uses ultrasound scanning, which is considered more effective, for example, if the finger is wet.
At the top of the monitor, Honor has a unibrow with a camera, speaker and touch sensors. The aspect ratio is 19:9, where the display itself takes up about 80% of the front panel.

As for the external advantages of the iPhone, it is worth noting the monitor’s oleophobic coating and better protection against dust and moisture (IP67). Another notable thing is the lack of a headphone jack. It is recommended to connect this headset to power (using a Lighting adapter) or generally use wireless models. There is also no memory card slot. On the one hand, this can bring some inconvenience, on the other hand, a smaller number of outputs on the case increases the protection of the “internals” from the effects of an unfavorable environment. But everyone must decide for themselves what is better - more capabilities or reliability and durability.

CPU
Another more important parameter of the device is its performance, which is determined by the characteristics of the hardware. Honor has an 8-core HiSilicon Kirin 970 with a neural module and a frequency of 4x2.6 GHz plus 4x1.8 GHz.
Important! In terms of technical parameters, the iPhone with its 4-core version (Apple A10 Fusion) and 2.34 GHz frequency is significantly inferior to its opponent. It even has half the RAM. At the same time, the iPhone has built-in LTE and the ability to execute commands out of order, unlike Honor.
As for the built-in processor capabilities, they are the same in both phones:
- integrated graphics;
- AES (encryption acceleration);
- dynamic frequency scaling (saving energy and reducing noise);
- BIG.LITTLE technology (depending on the needs to switch between processors);
- NX BIT (protection against virus attacks);
- hardware virtualization (improving picture quality);
- TRUSTZONE (digital rights management technology for making payments), etc.
Performance and battery
Despite the fact that the iPhone's hardware is much worse, thanks to the iOS 12 operating system, specially adapted for Apple devices, performance, speed and performance are at a high level, unlike Honor 10, which uses universal Android (8.1) . However, the fact that Android 8.1 is used on many smartphones from different manufacturers gives the Honor 10 greater flexibility in settings. For example, thanks to free open source code, any experienced user can adapt the OS specifically to their gadget, removing what is unnecessary and adding what is needed.
In addition to the OS, performance also depends on operating time, and therefore on battery. The Apple product has a much smaller resource, unlike the Chinese one. The battery capacity in the first case is 1960 mAh, and in the second - 3400 mAh with fast charging (50% in 25 minutes). But at the same time, given Honor’s large screen and, accordingly, increased power consumption, the difference in the operating time of the phones is not that big.
Screen
As for the technical characteristics of the screen, they are noticeably better in the Honor 10 model. Size is 5.84 ", resolution is 2280 by 1080 pixels, and even the pixel density is higher - 432 dpi. In these parameters, the iPhone loses significantly with its 4.7 inches, image size - 1334 by 750 and density - 326 dpi.
Thanks to the IPS technology used in both models, good viewing angles and high color rendering are provided, as well as greater possibilities for changing brightness, color temperature and resolution.
On a note! Apple products are equipped with the Force Touch function, which allows you to use the force of pressing to set the required action, which adds convenience when working with the device.
However, as surveys have shown, the color reproduction on the Honor screen is too bright and saturated, even unnatural, for some users. At the same time, the iPhone demonstrates more natural and soft colors.
Camera
In modern conditions, consumers have begun to pay primary attention to the smartphone camera, its characteristics and resources. The telephone has long been no longer a simple means of communication, but has become a tool for accessing the outside world via the Internet. To determine by this criterion whether Honor 10 or iPhone 7 is better, you need to make a more detailed review of both technical parameters and software functions.
iPhone 7 has one main 12-megapixel and one front 7-megapixel camera with an aperture of 1.8, while Honor 10 has a dual camera of 24 megapixel and 16 megapixels, and 24 megapixel shooting is provided for selfies . However, it is more important to determine how these parameters affect image quality.
- Thanks to AI technology (automatically adjusting parameters for different objects) and a dual camera, Honor’s photos are obtained at a decent level. Fans of blurry shots and the bokeh effect will especially like this. Facial treatment (skin defects) and lighting correction also work well.
- The iPhone's optical stabilization and good photo optics do an excellent job, so the pictures turn out juicy, bright and detailed, despite the noticeably smaller number of pixels in the camera. In low light conditions, the Back Illumination Sensor (BSI) improves sharpness and reduces noise, which is also an added benefit.
When comparing photos taken on iPhone and Honor in the daytime, the frames, according to reviews from owners, are practically indistinguishable. It’s rare that anyone can notice the difference in lighting—the iPhone has lighter colors. But in the dark, when there is a lack of lighting, pictures taken by Apple definitely win. Video shooting of this gadget also raises no complaints.
Additional features
Honor has more advanced features such as:
- multi-user system;
- voice recognition for commands without an Internet connection;
- JAVA application support;
- the ability to install programs on external drives;
- double-sided USB TYPE-C;
- word wrap function when zooming in the browser and others.
On a note! More emoticons, characters, and other characters are available on iPhone to more accurately reflect the user’s state. Although not everyone and not always like to use emoji.
Autonomy
For the iPhone 7, the operating time for video playback is up to 13 hours, talking time is up to 14 hours, and standby time is up to 10 days. However, in practice these parameters are noticeably lower. With intensive use, the smartphone's charge will barely last for a day, and with inactive use, it will last 1.5-2 days. As for Honor, its large screen consumes a significant amount of energy, and therefore even a more capacious battery does not greatly increase the battery life: reading mode - 15 hours, video - 10 hours, 3D games - 5 hours. Before charging, it can easily last a day or a day and a half, and if it is rarely used, then the energy will last for 2-2.5 days.
Memory
Honor 10 is clearly the leader in this parameter - RAM 4/6 GB, and permanent memory 64/128 GB at the user's choice . At the same time, if you use only one SIM card, then the second slot can be used for a memory card. The iPhone does not have this option - internal resources are limited to 2 GB and 32/128/256 GB. But despite the smaller capacity, thanks to the use of a new chip and an improved hardware platform, the system performance in the Apple phone is not inferior to more powerful competitors.
Multimedia
There is not much difference between the phones when playing multimedia files. They cope with this task equally well. However, there are some differences in the technical component: the iPhone does not have a jack for regular 3.5 mm headphones, but there is an adapter. In addition, it has built-in stereo speakers, which are missing in the Chinese model. The American is also equipped with 3 microphones, unlike its competitor (Honor has only 2).
Price
At the moment, you can buy Honor 10 and iPhone 7 smartphones at these prices.
- On the official Huawei website, Honor costs RUB 24,990. (64 GB) and 27,990 rub. (128 GB), same as at dealers.
- On the Apple page the cost of version 7 is 39,651 rubles. (32 GB) and 48803 (128 GB), although they can be found from official distributors for 34,500 rubles.
As you can see, Honor is an order of magnitude cheaper (by 10,000 rubles), despite the fact that it has more memory, a more powerful processor, and a much better camera and screen . But it is worth noting that Apple products fall in price very slowly, unlike all others.

Conclusion
After analyzing all the technical characteristics and consumer properties, it is impossible to make an unambiguous conclusion in favor of one of the models. Honor 10 is much more powerful and larger than its opponent in terms of hardware, cameras, screen size, memory and other parameters. However, the iPhone benefits from the thoughtfulness of all the little details and the use of innovative proprietary technologies that are specially designed for it. Therefore, the question of choice remains only a matter of preference.
Conclusion
Despite its high price, the iPhone always remains in demand. The good news is that with each new model, developers are trying to correct the shortcomings and release the gadget as best and as modern as possible. If you previously had an older version of iPhone, then by switching to iPhone 7, you will feel a big difference - from the speed of applications to reliable protection from water.
Based on the price category, the P10 is definitely worth the money. It may be inferior in some ways to Apple's product, but that's why it's world famous. The new Huawei model is compared to the recently released Samsung S7.
Both devices - Huawei P10 and iPhone 7 - have their own characteristics. Here the choice will depend directly on what the user expects from the gadget. Perhaps it's high quality photography during the day or good night photography? Waterproof or long battery life? In any case, each of the gadgets is worthy of attention. And which one you ultimately buy is up to you to decide, based on the size of your wallet.
CPU
Another more important parameter of the device is its performance, which is determined by the characteristics of the hardware. Honor has an 8-core HiSilicon Kirin 970 with a neural module and a frequency of 4x2.6 GHz plus 4x1.8 GHz.
Important! In terms of technical parameters, the iPhone with its 4-core version (Apple A10 Fusion) and 2.34 GHz frequency is significantly inferior to its opponent. It even has half the RAM. At the same time, the iPhone has built-in LTE and the ability to execute commands out of order, unlike Honor.
As for the built-in processor capabilities, they are the same in both phones:
- integrated graphics;
- AES (encryption acceleration);
- dynamic frequency scaling (saving energy and reducing noise);
- BIG.LITTLE technology (depending on the needs to switch between processors);
- NX BIT (protection against virus attacks);
- hardware virtualization (improving picture quality);
- TRUSTZONE (digital rights management technology for making payments), etc.
