Honor View 10 Long Term Review: The Last Premium Mid-Ranger?

Wrapping up my time with the Honor View 10, I have a lot of thoughts to share. This was a fun phone to review, but it was a really difficult phone to compare against other devices. Of its generation, we didn’t get a lot of competition for it at that $500 price tier, and if you were shopping one today, you likely can’t get a new OnePlus 5T anymore. Two months in, how has this phone performed? Let’s take a look!

Let’s take a quick look at some samples, and see how far phones have improved!
