Huawei Mate 8
Although Chinese manufacturer Huawei still can't claim much in the way of brand recognition, it's expanded its reputation in the US and UK with every release. That's down to the eternally appealing equation of more for less: the company offers high-end hardware at affordable prices.
Pros:
- Great fingerprint sensor
- Gorgeous large display
- Strong battery life
Cons:
- Emotion UI overlay
- Fast charging cable not in the box
- Ugly speaker grill

Huawei Mate 8 review
In many ways, the Mate 8 is an excellent smartphone. It has a big, high-quality screen and is well made. It isn't the most stylish of phones, but it's fast (unless you're talking about games) and has decent battery life.

Huawei Mate 8 review: Big beauty
Not so long ago the idea of a 6-inch phone sounded like a bonkers one. Now it's the norm for many, helped along by the iPhone 6S Plus , and with devices as powerful and refined as the Huawei Mate 8 also coming to market it's perhaps a more appealing concept than ever.
Pros:
- Superb battery life
- Ace fingerprint scanner
- Refined design
- Smaller than iPhone 6S Plus (despite having a larger 6in screen
- Reasonable camera and stabilisation
Cons:
- Software not always smart (EMUI 4.0 means no app tray
- Split screen fairly useless
- Screen resolution limitations
- Huge size won't suit all

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.

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
