Huawei noted that the Mate 10 Pro uses 6H toughened glass, which makes it tougher than ever. But, as former users of Honor 9 - a device with a 6.7H glass in the front and back - we saw this phone, which we really loved and enjoyed, covered with all kinds of scratches. The Mate 10 Pro fought better over time, although a disastrous fall will cause a crack in the back glass (sad face) eventually.
One of the main features of the Huawei Mate 10 Pro is that there are no physical buttons at the front (as is the case on the "standard" Mate 10 that does not arrive in the UK). The fingerprint scanner is conveniently placed at the back, under the dual camera layout - both are protruding slightly, to avoid touching them when searching for the recessed fingerprint scanner - which generally feels well positioned, if not a little too high at the back. It avoids the frankly insane positioning of the fingerprint scanner on the side of the camera, as is the case in the less pretty Samsung Galaxy S8.
Other features of Mate 10 Pro include dust and water tightness - which we found very handy when riding in the pouring rain with the phone in a back pocket. This feature is Huawei's excuse for not giving the Mate 10 Pro a 3.5mm headphone jack, although we think this is a nonsense charge. Twice in a week, our Bluetooth headphones do not have a battery, so we went to connect via the cable - only to remind us that there are none and, yes, we looked like a fool. But anyway, it is waterproof in a professional way, and also has the headphone jack, which is the best solution from the perspective of the users.
