On November 28th, Beijing University of Technology launched the Glory V10, the latest addition to the Glory series. This time, the company managed to keep things under wraps pretty well. Even though some real machine leaks surfaced at the last minute, it was still unclear whether they were authentic or not. The mobile phone front net managed to get an exclusive version of the Glory V10. After switching the rear fingerprint recognition to a front-mounted one, the device is expected to create a big buzz in the market. Let's take a closer look.
The Glory V10 features the industry’s first full-screen front fingerprint sensor. While there have been many full-screen smartphones released before, the Glory V10 is the first to combine a 18:9 screen with front fingerprint technology. By replacing the traditional rear fingerprint sensor with a front one, the phone eliminates the "Honor" logo on the bottom bezel, making the design more elegant and user-friendly. It looks quite tall and modern.
The top and bottom bezels are also well-balanced. Although not as narrow as the Huawei Mate 10 Pro, they measure around 8mm to 9mm, which is quite good. The front-facing camera, proximity sensor, and earpiece are centered at the top, while the bottom includes a non-removable home button for tapping and fingerprint scanning. This layout is similar to the Huawei Mate 10, and the screen feels smooth with no issues related to the oleophobic coating.
The phone features a 5.99-inch, 18:9 ratio display that delivers excellent visuals. The back uses metal sandblasting technology, giving it a warm feel without the coldness of metal. The matte finish makes it less likely to collect fingerprints, adding to its appeal.
Thanks to the front fingerprint sensor, there's no need for a hole on the back for the fingerprint module, preserving the phone's aesthetic integrity. The Aurora Blue color option caught our eye, and the antenna lines blend well with the back panel. The colors are consistent, reducing any visual abruptness. The only minor issue is the raised camera, which slightly disrupts the flat back design. However, this is a trade-off between high-quality photography and a slim profile.
The middle frame matches the back panel in color, and the button layout is similar to traditional Huawei devices. On the left side, you’ll find the SIM card slot, while the right side houses the volume and power buttons. At the bottom, there's a Type-C charging port, with a 3.5mm headphone jack on the left and the speaker on the right.
Overall, the Glory V10 is a solid smartphone. One of the author's long-standing frustrations has been the “waste†of screen space caused by virtual buttons. Fortunately, the Glory V10 solves this issue. Except for the raised camera, the phone's design can be described as excellent. The matte metal back, however, still feels less premium compared to glass backs.
Performance-wise, the Glory V10 is expected to deliver strong results. Many users have dubbed it the "younger version of the Mate 10." And there's a reason for that. The Huawei Mate 9 used the Kirin 960, and the same chip was found in the Glory V9. This time, the Glory V10 is equipped with the Kirin 970, which we tested to see how it performs.
The Kirin 970 processor consists of 5.1 billion transistors, featuring four A73 cores running at 2.36GHz and four A53 cores at 1.8GHz. It also comes with 4GB or 6GB of RAM and 64GB or 128GB of storage. We tested the 6GB + 128GB version, and the results were impressive.
Using the Security Bunny benchmark, the phone scored 172,220 points, which is very good. The 3D performance reached 64,846 points, meeting expectations. With Geekbench, the single-core score was 1,918, multi-core was 6,628, and the overall score was 9,427—clearly matching the performance of the Kirin 970.
In terms of memory performance, using AndroBench, we saw a continuous read speed of 770MB/s, which aligns with UFS 2.1 specifications. However, the write speed was only 193.2MB/s, suggesting that the phone may use a single-channel UFS 2.1.
During gameplay testing with "Honor of Kings," the Kirin 970 supported high frame rate mode, keeping the game stable around 50–55 FPS with almost no lag. Power consumption was also impressive, with only a 3% drop after 15 minutes of gaming.
For photography, the Glory V10 features a dual rear camera setup: 16MP + 20MP (black and white + color), with an f/1.8 aperture and various focusing modes. The front camera is 13MP with an f/2.0 aperture. The photos taken in daylight showed excellent color reproduction, good exposure control, and sharp details. The night shots were also impressive, with good noise reduction and accurate white balance.
Face recognition is a new feature added to the Glory V10, aimed at younger users who enjoy exploring advanced tech. Powered by the Kirin 970, the AI capabilities allow for fast face recognition, even when the eyes are closed. The system also retains the home button, offering a familiar experience similar to the Huawei Mate 10.
Overall, the Glory V10 is a well-rounded device. From the Kirin 970 chip to the 6GB RAM, UFS 2.1, and Android 8.0-based EMUI, the phone emphasizes speed and performance. The design upgrades from the previous generation are significant, and with prices starting at 2,699 yuan for the 4GB + 64GB model, it’s definitely worth considering.
