The Huawei P20 Pro can take photos with its 40 megapixel camera including GPS tag. This means that with every photo, the GPS position data are additionally recorded in the EXIF data.

Thus, one can later retrace where exactly the photo was taken. Huawei has now given the P20 Pro in the gallery app a function with which one can show directly on a map where the photos were taken. We'll explain where to find this function here:

In order to be able to make phone calls with Honor 10 and surf the mobile internet, you need a Sim card. Here there are different sizes and shapes. It follows that not every Sim card fits into every smartphone.

For this reason, it is important to know which Sim card requires Honor 10: The Honor 10 requires a Nano Sim card. If you are still using a standard or micro sim card, you will get a Nano sim card as follows:

Press out the perforation

You have a Sim card with Nano perforation? This is the simplest variant. Simply press the Nano Sim card out of the already existing Sim card along the perforation.  

Use Sim card punch

You have a Sim card without Nano perforation?

For this there are so called "Sim card punchers". A Sim card punch, similar to a punch, cuts out the correct format from your Sim card if it is larger.

Such Sim card punches are already available for little money on Amazon.

Mobile Carrier

If the effort is too big for you, you can also simply request a new Nano Sim card from your mobile network operator for the Honor 10. But keep in mind that this can also be associated with costs.

You now know the type of sim card your Honor 10 needs and how to get it if you don't have the right format yet. We wish you a lot of fun with the Honor 10.
