Co-engineered with German camera company Leica, the Huawei Mate 10 meets Google's benchmarks for Android Enterprise Recommended status. Features include the Kirin 970 processor, designed to boost AI efficiency and performance; the smartphone's neural-networking processing unit (NPU) also operates independently from standard cloud-based processing, ensuring privacy. Smart battery management learns from user behaviors in order to intelligently allocate resources and maximize battery life.
