Same display

The P10 is about the same size as the original P9 with the same 1,920x1,080 display, but upgrades its screen from Gorilla Glass 3 to 5.

The P10 Plus has a 5.5-inch WQHD display while the P10 (shown here) has a 5.1-inch, 2,540x1,440 screen. The Plus also has a greater battery capacity 3,750 mAh compared with the P10's 3,200-mAh battery.

Dual Leicas redux

Like the P9, the P10 models have dual Leica cameras. They're the same as the Mate 9's - 20 megapixels, f2.2 and 27mm.

USB-C and a headphone jack

This part hasn't changed.

Dual-tone flash

The same flash as on the P9, though probably with improved algorithms.

Monochrome mode

Huawei uses its dual cameras for an increased luminance range rather than zoom. The luminance capture process is central to black-and-white photography.

iPhone-like portrait mode

New algorithms allow the cameras to recognize and isolate faces for better simulated background defocus in portraits.

I Got an Early Look at Intel's Glass Packaging Tech for Faster Chips
Rahul Manepalli, right, Intel's module engineering leader, shows a glass substrate panel before it's sliced into the small rectangles that will be bonded to the undersides of hundreds of test processors. The technology, shown here at Intel's CH8 facility in Chandler, Arizona, stands to improve performance and power consumption of advanced processors arriving later this decade. Glass substrates should permit physically larger processors comprised of several small "chiplets" for AI and data center work, but Intel expects they'll trickle down to PCs, too.
