New renders of the highly-anticipated Huawei Mate 10 have surfaced online, revealing a phablet-sized mobile which might come with a physical home button and fingerprint scanner.
Based on the leaks shared by tech specs leaker OnLeaks, the upcoming model looks a lot like its previous installment, the Huawei Mate 9. The placement of the fingerprint scanner, however, is one big change in terms of design.

Its chassis will be an all-glass design. With the physical home button placed on the façade, its dimensions could be larger than expected.

Rumor has it the smartphone will be powered by Huawei's latest Kirin 970 chipset. It will have at least 6 GB of RAM and 64 GB of storage space. The renders, however, suggest that the phone will come without a microSD slot. Hence, the storage capacity cannot be expanded. The device will be equipped with Android's latest operating system, Oreo.
Furthermore, the Mate 10's primary dual camera is believed to have 20-megapixel and 12-megapixel. It is expected to carry Leica optics, phase detection and laser autofocus. As for its secondary camera, it will be a 13-megapixel snapper. The smartphone will sport a small camera bump because of the 9 mm optics.
The Chinese tech firm has yet to reveal the full specifications of the device. Recent reports should be treated as speculation until proven otherwise.
The Mate 10 will be revealed at a Huawei event on Saturday, Oct. 16 in Munich, Germany. Invites have been sent out. Details of the event, however, remain scarce.
