Huawei's sub-brand Honor will launch its latest smartphone, Honor 10, in London on May 15.

According to our sources, Honor 10 will be priced around ₹35,000. This is expected to be the India pricing for Honor 10, although it is yet to be confirmed.

The smartphone was first launched in China last month at CNY 2,600 ( ₹27,300 approximately) for the base model, with 6GB RAM and 64GB storage. The top model, with 6GB RAM and 128GB storage, carries a price tag of CNY 2,800 ( ₹29,400 approximately).

Like Huawei's P20 series, Honor 10 also features an all-display design along with a cutout on top to house the selfie camera and earpiece. Unlike the iPhone X, Honor 10 comes with a bottom bezel and a home button doubling as a fingerprint sensor.

Honor 10 flaunts the same reflective glass body design, but has a more striking colour pattern with two options of mirage blue and mirage purple. It is also available in black and grey.
