Anxiously Awaiting US Release Of Honor View 10

[WeeWilly]

From what I've read, the Honor View 10 will be available in the US in February, 2018 for $500 or less. I think I've learned my lesson and will never again spend a small fortune to purchase a flagship phone from Samsung, LG, or HTC. Based on everything I've read, the View 10 could be the perfect phone for me at a price I can afford. It's a shame that political pressure (and, perhaps, pressure from Apple and/or Samsung) have made it impossible for Huawei/Honor to get US carrier contracts because their phones deserve a wider audience.

I believe Huawei is having problems obtaining US carrier contracts at the moment.

Far better to be without carriers who would only fill the devices with bloat. Make people actually spend money on devices instead of giving them away with contracts. This particular device is very affordable and without carriers having a sales monopoly, you'll be able to buy it and use with any carrier.

FYI any carrier as long as it's not Verizon or Sprint or other CDMA/EVDO network. Because the View 10 doesn't have those modes.

I have to say from what I read about the view 10 I am initially impressed. Almost a 6 inch display headphone jack. My only concern is the software. I take a lot of photos of my kids which are loaded to Google photos now I know Google photos isn't 100% secure but so far I have never had an issue. If the view 10 could work on T-Mobile I would be even more seriously interested.

Be wary of the H10 reviews as there is a bit of an astroturf campaign going on.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with the software. The camera is amazing and the settings have more than enough for all types of users.
