Huawei P8 review: A game changer

The Huawei P8 is a game changer. The implications it will have won’t be noticed by the big brands dominating the market today. This smartphone is a bit like the Tesla Model S in that it represents a much bigger picture.

After the disappointing Ascend P7, Huawei’s back in action with the P8. It solves the older phone’s key issues, resulting in a phone that’s a bit of a smasher once you’ve tweaked away the stranger bits of the quirky custom interface. Most people willing to put in this extra effort should find it easy to get on with the Huawei P8. However, what it lacks is something to really give it an edge over the bigger names – bar being a shade cheaper. Coming from the iPhone 6 and Galaxy S6, I do miss the fingerprint scanner, and while the camera is very good it lacks some of the UI intuitiveness of the very best. However, this is still a phone Huawei can absolutely be proud of.

The Huawei P8 has excellent design and build for a price lower than other flagship rivals. On the whole hardware is decent too, particularly in the photography department. However, poor performance and buggy software taint the experience to frustrating level which make it very difficult to recommend.
