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

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.

In all, we like the Huawei Mate 8. It's beautifully designed and, for a phone this size, a pleasure to use. The sluggish performance of past Huawei flagships has been banished, and the Mate 8's battery life is very good too.

T he growth of Huawei has been made even more impressive on the back of their exit from the US market in 2013 after allegations of Chinese government liaison and spying, and has been so significant it couldn't be ignored, even by Google.

Huawei Mate 8

Over the past few years, Huawei has set a very ambitious goal of being in the same company as Samsung and Apple. While it has not reached that plateau just yet, its 2016 slated devices are definite moves in the right direction.
Pros:
  • Generous and bright display
  • Superb battery life
  • Well constructed body
Cons:
  • Thinness makes it difficult to handle
  • Would benefit from a stylus
