Leaked pictures of Huawei G10
As is often the case with Chinese devices, leaked pictures first appeared on Weibo. What do they show us? Well, phone’s case is most likely made of metal, and we can clearly see the antennae on the upper half of its backside. Phone’s front depicts a presumably 5.9′ display, 18:9 aspect ratio and not particulary thin bezels. The latter can be forgiven, though, as G10 is a mid-ranger and not a flagship. Device’s backside shot reveals a dual camera setup as well as LED flash and fingerprint scanner.The above pictures most probably depict Huawei G10 just as we will see ...

Well, this time it turned out not to be so safe to use… an unknown group of hackers (or a single hacker, for all we know) have replaced an original version of the application with the same one, but with a nasty malware hidden within it.
