C an a 6in smartphone such as the Huawei Mate 8 ever be practical That's the first question that leapt into my mind when I pulled the Chinese phone manufacturer's latest handset from its slim, black box.

Time-saver edition
Great as it may be, Huawei's high-end phablet is not perfect, and you'd better be aware of its flaws, even if you choose to ignore them. The camera could use plenty of improvement, and the Android overlay is a love-it-or-hate-it affair.

The Mate 8 is the first smartphone to use Huawei's 16nm HiSilicon Kirin 950 octa-core chipset, which uses a quad-core 2.3GHz Cortex A72 and a quad-core 1.8GHz Cortex A53. The GPU is a 900MHz Mali-T880MP4m, which is the same GPU found in Samsung's new Exynos 8890-equipped Galaxy S7.
Pros:
- 6-inch display in a 5.5-inch form factor
- Elegant all-metal construction
- Superb battery life
- Good value for a flagship phablet
Cons:
- EMUI 4.0 may not be for everyone
- Benchmark performance may not be able to compete with 2016 models
- No support for 4K video recording

The Huawei Mate 8 Android Phone
I'm cute, but I'm not this cute. Check out my flawless skin, courtesy of the Huawei Mate 8 camera. Dan : For me the Mate 8 is probably the best Android phone I have tried. I agree it's just a bit too wide for my taste, but if you want a powerhouse phablet you can't go wrong with this phone.
Pros:
- Fantastic build quality
- Camera is pretty good in all light
- The phone is exceptionally fast (minus the Kindle app for some reason)
- Amazing battery life
- Huge 6″ screen with option to get quite a few apps or folders on launcher
- Lots of built-in Huawei tricks like double knuckle tap to take screen...
Cons:
- Just a tad too wide (personal preference
- of course

handsets, and hopes to appeal to those in the market for a slightly cheaper phablet with its £429 price tag. , the handset let us down on the software side, but excels when it comes to battery life with a 4,000mAh cell that offers two full days of use.
