Video Recording : 4K resolution
The View 10 comes with dual camera setup on the back, in the camera app you get wide aperture and portrait mode options. Camera quality is excellent and like on other Honor smartphones you get a lot of profession modes that captures great shots. The bokeh effects are pretty good.
Selfie also looks too good, especially with the portrait mode. This handset can shoot 4K videos, there is no stabilization option on this handset. Do check the samples and the video sample in video review.
Camera Rating : 4.6 out of 5

Other features
The finger print sensor on the front is pretty fast and accurate. I did not find any issues with networks. Face unlock feature for now is not enabled but I will soon get it via OTA update and will cover that soon.
Face recognition is enabled but you cannot unlock the phone. Though some AI features are working for example when you have registered your face and you get notification, you will see the notification, but others cannot.
The AI feature is pretty interesting, it monitors your usage pattern and customizes the UI experience as per your need.

Gogi bro, please confirm on display protection?
Dear gogi? What about Display/Glass Protection, Infrared Sensor and ANT Support?
Hi Gogi ji,
Please confirm these as I am going to order this phone…
1. Does back camera support 2x optical zoom?
2. Is this has gorilla glass? If not what glass?
3. Do you receive any camera improvement patch on this weekend?
And to inform all this one supports project treble, so custom ROMs we get fast.

Where is zip file link for downloading full size camera samples?
I will not be adding the original samples as the same is used by other users and often lands up on amazon / flipkart official reviews, clear copy right. I cannot run after everyone, best option not to upload originals.
Gogi ji how could we judge the clarity of the camera quality and how could we compare with other mobiles without the original size of camera samples?
Gogi i have an idea.
You hang a logo of gogi.in on the place u take a photo… Hope problem as solve
They will crop the logo and then will upload
Its better if watermark is maintained.. I think
Native Video Calling Support?
Want to know d same?
Pls ans…
Thanks in advance.
What is the uses of AI in mobile?
It can enhance photography. Neural patterns mean that applications are used more efficiently leading to better performance and battery life. AI enabled commands like where are you can help when you lose the phone in a room. Voice activated commands can help you garner information in a hands free fashion.
what does AI ‘s work, what extra it gives?
Bro please correct Nougat 8.0 ????
Or Oreo 8.0
Thanks and updated.
