Dual lens camera is no longer a fancy feature for flagship models and even mid-range devices. How about a triple-lens rear camera? With a 24MP primary lens to capture every detail, a 17mm lens for 120° wide-angle shots, and a dedicated lens for depth, the HONOR 10i promises an accurate replica of the view in your eyes. The strong performance is enhanced by the F/1.8 wide-aperture lens and Quadra CFA sensor, which boosts the camera's performance in low light situations, and an AI algorithm that intelligently optimizes your photos.
1. 24MP primary camera: capture every detail
Snap first, then edit later without losing any details. The HONOR 10i is equipped with a high-quality 24MP rear camera that takes clearer and sharper photos, enabling you to capture everything exactly as you see it with your eyes.
Sometimes, a picture just looks better after cropping out the unwanted parts - say, a passer-by that takes up 30% of your photo. Or you may spot something interesting in the photo, such as a beautiful painting on the wall of a cathedral, which you'd like to keep exclusive records of. With the high quality photos produced by the HONOR 10i, your photos will look just as sharp and just as clear even when zoomed in.
Suggested Test Scenario: Take a distant shot of an iconic architecture (e.g. the Palace of Westminster in UK / the Winter Palace in Russia) to see the great details captured by 24MP primary lens
Go to "Camera", take a distant shot of an iconic building that is far away from you. Then, zoom in to check the details of the architecture. Alternatively, you can take a photo of a friend from far, then zoom in to check the details of his/her face.
2. 120° ultra-wide angle lens: wider angle, bigger world
Apart from the primary 24MP camera, there's another lens specialized for the big world. The 17mm lens enables a 120° ultra-wide angle view, while a regular smartphone camera lens frame a view of 78°.
2.1 Suggested Test Scenario: From the same standing point, take a photo of a historical iconic building (e.g. Kremlin in Moscow) under the regular mode and compared with the photo taken under the Wide-Angle Mode
Go to "Camera" and activate the "Wide-Angle Mode" on the right-hand side of the screen. If the icon changes from "1X" to "Wide", the "Wide-Angle Mode" is successfully activated.
With the "Wide-Angle Mode" on, you can capture the splendid full view of the buildings and natural scenery in the picture, creating a postcard-like photograph.
2.2 Suggested Test Scenario: From the same standing point, take a photo for a group of people under the regular mode and compared with the photo taken under the Wide-Angle Mode
With the "Wide Angle Mode", more people are included in the group photo.
2.3 Suggested Test Scenario: Frame your favorite music band / football team into the album with ultra-wide lens
For music lovers, the HONOR 10i captures your favorite band on stage while you are having fun at music festivals. Extra wide lens for the extra wide stage at music festivals!
For sports fans, during ice hockey, football games, rugby games, fit both goal frames easily into your frame. You can even live-stream the whole game without having to shift your phone.
2.4 TEST: Have more fun with Ultra-Wide Angle in video shooting
The "Wide-Angle Mode" is also available when taking videos, allowing you to record the changing scene of the panoramic city landscape.
3. Super Night Shoot mode for superb night moments
HONOR 10i is also well equipped to help you seize the most romantic and vibrant moments at night. The F/1.8 wide-aperture lens of the primary camera allows more light reaching the sensor, resulting in a brighter photo without slow down the shutter speed - a better performance under low light. The camera's Quadra CFA sensor boosts its sensitivity to light even in dark environments, increasing the brightness of the photo.
The night photography is enhanced by the AI Stabilizing mode, which intelligently detects and stabilizes handheld photography, ensuring shake-free and high quality of night shot images. This means users can leave their tripod home while they are exploring the street view in the evening and capturing the fireworks or the beautiful lights.
3.1 Suggested Test Scenario: Take photo of the scenery of the city landscape in the evening
Go to "Camera" and choose the "Night" icon to enter the Night Mode.
3.2 Suggested Test Scenario: Test the Night Mode in different low light situation (e.g. street view in the evening, in a dimly-lit restaurant)
Under different low light conditions, HONOR 10i captures bright light sources with better edge definition and preserves the vibe of the scene.
3.3 Suggested Test: Adjust the ISO and Shutter Speed in the Night Mode
If you are an advanced photographer, you can adjust the shutter speed and ISO to customize your preferred lighting effect.
4. AI technology:
The AI-enabled camera is capable of recognizing over 500 scenes in 22 categories, automatically applying the best settings to the perfect shot. Based on the AI-powered algorithm, the camera can enhance the subject's face and the background by modifying the exposure time and applying color adjustment according to different scene types, creating professional-grade films.
4.1 TEST: Take a photo of the natural scene, and upgrade your photo with AI algorithm
Go to "Camera" and click the "AI" icon on the top right-hand corner to activate the "AI Photography".

5. Industry-leading 32MP front camera for ultra-clear selfies

5.1 Suggested Test Scenario: Take a selfie of you and the objects in the background, and see how the 32MP camera captures the details of both you and the background scene
It clearly captures you and the background in great details.
6. AI beauty algorithm: adjustment for a stunning yet natural look
The social-savvy generation find themselves under pressure when taking selfies to share on social media due to the concerns over body image. We all want to look good but we also want to look like ourselves on social media. The AI-enabled beautification mode of HONOR 10i captures your best possible self to achieve "my selfie but better".
The HONOR 10i supports 3D face recognition and detects over a hundred facial points to pixel-level accuracy and optimizes facial details. The AI beauty algorithm intelligently adjusts your look by gender, age, and skin tone, adding the perfect finishing touches to your selfies for a stunning yet natural look.
The beauty algorithm is also customized and is particularly useful when taking groufies. The advanced and precise beauty algorithm ensures an accurate bokeh and applies specific beauty effects to each person's face in the group when taking a photo with the front camera.

Go to "Camera" and switch to the front camera. Choose "Portrait Mode"
Within "Portrait Mode", you can scroll the bar to adjust the "Beauty level" of your selfie
6.2 TEST: Within "Portrait Mode", choose different lighting (i.e. no lighting, soft lighting, butterfly lighting, split lighting, and stage lighting) to adjust your preferred selfie effect.
6.3 TEST: Enable the Bokeh to generate the blurred background effect
7. AI Backlighting Imaging technology: perfect selfie under any light
Lighting is a main factor contributing to a nice selfie, but it's hard to always have the studio-like lighting for a perfect shot. However, with the support of HONOR 10i's AI Backlighting Imaging technology, all lighting conditions become ideal.
When you take a selfie with the AI mode activated, the HONOR 10i's AI algorithm intelligently analyses and adjusts the image processing procedure. It recognizes the different lighting condition and optimizes the lighting effects, resulting in great clarity and natural color even under back light.
Together with the screen ring light-filling technology, the 32MP ISO-enhanced lens creates perfect selfie under any light. Packed with a Quadra sensor, which greatly increases the front camera's sensitivity to light, HONOR 10i masters the shooting performance even under low-light.
7.1 Suggested Test Scenario: Take selfie under low light (e.g. at an indoor party) to test the effect adjusted by backlighting technology
Go to "Camera", switch to front camera and click the "AI" icon on the top to activate the "AI Photography".
Take selfie in a dark environment.
Even with unfriendly selfie light conditions, the photo taken by HONOR 10i preserves the details and natural color of the subject's face - users will be heading to the party with more confidence.
7.2 Suggested Test Scenario: Take selfie under back light (e.g. at sunrise, on the street with neon lights) to test the effect adjusted by backlighting technology
We all know how annoying the back light is when taking selfie. The AI algorithm optimizes the lighting effect while processing the photo, resulting in great clarify and brightness under back light.
STRONG OVERALL PERFORMANCE
In addition to the strong lens on the front and the back, this petit flagship is also packed with powerful software-hardware configuration. This does not result in a bulky appearance. On the contrary, the 3D curved body with gradient color design allows an expression of your always-on style. A handy and seamless overall user experience is made possible with HONOR 10i.
THE 3D CURVED BODY
HONOR wants users to have something beautiful to bring with them and we want them to feel good.

The curved design naturally follows the arches of your hands, resulting in a perfect one-handed grip. Users can easily reach UI elements near the top of the screen and enjoy enhanced one-handed selfie capacity.
GRADIENT COLOR DESIGN
Taking inspiration from the two iconic colors created at The Paris Aesthetics Center for the HONOR 10 which echo the beauty of Aurora, the HONOR 10i continues to feature a beautiful gradient design.
The Honor 10i comes in two dual-colored gradient variants, Phantom Blue and Phantom Red, adding a beautiful purple hue to the gleaming back. The new dual-tone gradient color is an enhancement from the single-colored light to dark gradient of the HONOR 10 Lite, adding a new layer of vibrancy to the handsets. Enabled by HONOR's highest level of craftmanship and sophisticated 3D photolithography technology, the gradient color has a gleaming, shining and luminescent effect that reflects lights beautifully.
For those who prefer a timeless look, the HONOR 10i comes in Midnight Black. The Midnight Black variant is chic and stylish with reflective light. The subtle black glossy finish perfectly matches any looks to keep you looking your best.
SUPERIOR VIEWING EXPERIENCE - DISPLAY
