Before we start to deconstruct the Mate 10 Pro, we line it up next to one of its predecessors, the Mate 9—which we also tore down—for a quick comparison.

At first glance, differences are fairly minor: there's the new Leica Dual camera with Optical Image Stabilization, and the round fingerprint sensor right beneath it.

More noticeable is the new ergonomic curved glass back and a signature stripe highlighting the dual lens cameras.

We feel a little bit sad that the camera lenses now go their Separate Ways. But hey, it is a necessary sacrifice to embrace the new Digital Frontier.
