[Honor View 10 Questions & Answers] jbmc83:
- in theory, all good and well concerning A.I., especially from a marketing perspective ;) but what are the actual, REAL life benefits (or rather "killer applications") that you see regular users benefit from massively when using AI optimized hardware such as is implemented in the Kirin 970?

- great to see "classic" features such as 3.5 mm headphone jack, IR blaster and sd card slot on the view 10! in my book, these are becoming exceedingly important features to look out for when choosing my next phone, especially since they tend to become rarer on new announcements. what is your stance on future support of these "classic" features? any detailed insight on reasonings for/against prolonged support on new honor phones would be much appreciated!

- seeing as honor and xda have a partnership going for improved community support: what are the exact steps taken by honor to support custom rom & app development for their phones? aside from releasing kernel sources quickly and doing serious marketing on xda, of course ;) i want to see/hear hard facts potentially contributing to the xda dev community in a POSITIVE way! :) Qualcomm as THE go to hardware manufacturer for custom software devs has invested a lot of time and effort to build up its reputation. Is Honor planning anything similar to improve their standing and make a lasting impression in the community?

- another very important aspect in terms of future-proofing, aside from community support: for those of us who are not keen on modding their phones and leave it stock, but still being appreciative of up-to-date software - what kind of future support can we expect from honor concerning things like security updates, android updates and implementation of special (but optional) features like Project Treble, for instance? What steps and/or investments is Honor taking to ensure long-lasting and complete software support of their phones?

- aside from AI and shrinking bezels: what are Honor´s thoughts on the "next big thing" in the smartphone world? previously, weve seen things like implementation of Wifi, high quality cameras, NFC for payments, switch from physical to virtual I/O (keyboard -> touch interface) and others. so....whats next? and how does Honor plan to stand out from the increasingly packed crowd of smartphone manufacturers?

- how many of your employees actually use Honor phones as their daily drivers? do they get incentives such as price cuts, extra warranty, hardware upgrade plans, data plans, improved support or similar?

- in your opinion, which is the best (i.e. most innovative, customer-oriented, environmental friendly) smartphone manufacturer currently (aside from Huawei / Honor, of course ;) ) and for what specific reasons? Also, which would you consider to be the worst? What could Honor learn from both the best and the worst rated manufacturer to improve their own portfolio?

- seeing as the View 10 provides the same underlying hardware as the mate 10 pro (RAM, CPU, GPU, Storage, dual cam setup, etc), but with additional features such as 3.5 mm headphone jack, microSD card, IR blaster, what exactly is the point of distinguishing between Honor and Huawei phones? Especially seeing as theyre based on the same software (EMUI) and manufactured by the same vendor basically. In direct comparison, I can see the following points speaking for the Mate 10 pro:

more LTE bands supported, better high-speed modem(?), IP67 certification, AMOLED HDR screen, Leica camera, stereo speakers, USB 3.1, 6.7% higher battery capacity

are these (in my opinion relatively unimportant "gimmicks") worth the extra asking price of 300 €?

To sum it up: Aside from pricing, what exactly distinguishes Honor from Huawei?

cheers! :)
