The Huawei Mate
10 Pro and Mate 10 are both high-end, well-designed Android 8 Oreo handsets,
but there are plenty of differences between them. One of these differences -
likely important to some potential buyers - consists in the fact that the Mate
10 Pro does not feature a 3.5mm headset jack, while the Mate 10 is a more
conventional device, thus it has a standard jack.
Fortunately, Huawei compensates for the lack of a
3.5mm jack with a pair of USB Type-C earphones, plus a USB-C to 3.5mm adapter -
both are included in the retail box of the Mate 10 Pro. All in all, you'll be
free to use either Huawei's own USB Type-C earphones, or, thanks to the
included adapter, any traditional earphones or headphones you want.
Huawei has yet to announce when the Mate 10 Pro and
Mate 10 will be released in the US. In any case, both handsets will probably be
available unlocked starting the coming months. In Europe, the Mate 10 Pro will
be released in mid-November for € 799, while the Mate 10 is supposed to arrive
in late October for € 699.
