The Huawei P10 does not have a Micro USB port, but only a USB Type C connector. This may be impractical for some situations at the moment, but this new USB type also offers advantages. Because USB Type C is reversible, this port can be used to charge other devices.

For this purpose connect your Huawei P10 via USB type C cable with another compatible device. Pull down the status bar on your Huawei P10 and then select the following USB option:

You must now select the "Charge only" USB connection mode from the device, which is charged. Your Huawei P10 will now charge the connected device via the USB Type C connector. Finished!
