The Huawei Mate 10 Pro will be the only model in the UK, but you get a LOT of bang for your buck

The UK will apparently only have one model of the Huawei Mate 10 series, at least officially, and that'll be the Huawei Mate 10 Pro, which will be landing from November 17 with an RRP of £699 for the SIM-free and unlocked edition.

The regular Mate 10 won't be around for UK buyers, but with that said you can always import it (at your own expense and risk, of course).

For the Huawei Mate 10 Pro, Carphone Warehouse and Three are already confirmed to carry it, though others are likely to follow suit.

The RRP makes it a cheaper option than both the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 and the LG V30, and for that lower outlay you still get a pretty fantastic spec line-up, including a 6in AMOLED FHD+ 18:9 aspect ratio EntireView display, a HiSilicon Kirin 970 10nm octa-core processor, 128GB onboard storage (plus microSD support), 6GB RAM, a 4,000mAh battery, water proofing, Android 8.0 Oreo, and a dual-sensor Leica camera.
