Honor 10 with Qualcomm ultrasonic fingerprint sensor launched in India: Price, specs, features

Huawei's sub-brand Honor on Tuesday announced the global variant of its Honor 10. The smartphone, which first launched in China last month, is one of the first Huawei phones to come with a notch-display, inspired by Apple's iPhone X. Huawei recently adopted the notch display for its new P20 series of phones as well.

Apart from an iPhone X-inspired screen, Honor 10 also has a bottom bezel similar to Huawei P20 phones. Another big highlight of Honor 10 is Qualcomm's ultrasonic fingerprint sensor which is placed at the bottom bezel. There's also a fingerprint sensor on the back which the company claims can unlock the screen even with wet fingers.

Honor 10 is also big on design. The smartphone comes with a new '3D Aurora Curved' technology on the smartphone which shows a reflective colour changing design from every angle. The smartphone is available in four colour options of black, grey, phantom green and phantom blue.
