Review: Huawei P8

L ast year, Huawei's Ascend P7 smartphone impressed us with its slimline good looks and top-quality camera – but it was undermined by sluggish performance and an over-fussy UI. This year, the company aims to improve on that with its new flagship.

Huawei P8 Lite Review: A Budget Phone With Some Non-Budget Features

Huawei isn't necessarily a household name in the US smartphone environment quite yet. They've been making a stronger push to get into the US market recently, but they've been a leader in the Global market for some time, as their #3 global ranking in smartphone shipments can attest.
Pros:
  • Huawei's Emotion UI isn't obtrusive, provides some nice customization options for an older version of Android
  • Good price
  • Nice camera options
Cons:
  • I had some issues with reception
  • and a bump up in display on this phone would be great

Huawei P8 lite Smartphone Review

Shortly after the flagship device from Huawei, the P8, we now get the smaller sibling with the addition "lite," which sounds like a slimmed-down version. Not only is the price reduced but also the battery runtime.
Pros:
  • Dual-SIM feature with LTE
  • very good voice quality
  • microSD slot
  • NFC and Bluetooth
  • strong WLAN performance
  • smooth operation
  • design and quality impression
  • decent display
  • good pictures
  • but..
Cons:
  • video compression too high
  • inaccurate GPS
  • below-average battery runtime
  • display could be brighter
  • headset sound is average
  • only 2.4 GHz WiFi
  • battery integrated

Huawei P8 Lite Review

While the P8 Lite has a lot of things going for it – namely, its attractive build and beautiful edge-to-edge display – it's somewhat difficult to recommend it due to its very poorly-implemented Emotion UI.

Huawei P8 Lite Review

It's a shame that Huawei is a bit of an unknown entity in the United States, because the Chinese device maker consistently releases great-looking hardware that performs just as well as that of its American competitors.
Pros:
  • Sleek
  • clean-looking build
  • Edge-to-edge display looks great
  • Solid battery life
Cons:
  • Huawei's Emotion UI is terrible
  • Specs
  • while still decent
  • are frustratingly lower than larger model

Brave new Budget Phone

OK. I was looking for a bargain and at the equivalent of 200 quid or so, this new handset promised to be it. And the design was highly attractive. A nice, clean candy bar. I was shown a white one by the helpful assistent. The packaging is compact and pleasing too.

Not bad

Over all, this is a good budget phone. Disappointed 4.4.4 out of box and no NFC.
Pros:
  • low price, no bloatware, light weight
  • Budget phone with 2gb RAM, 16gb (10gb usable), Micro SD slot support up to 32 gb
Cons:
  • Android 4.4.4 out of box, not 5.02
  • NO NFC
  • Only 720 resolution, but it is clear to read email and web

Huawei P8

You may not have heard of Huawei (that's ‘hwah-way', not Hawaii), but you've probably crossed paths before. The Chinese firm is actually the world's largest telecommunications company, having overtaken Sweden's Ericsson in 2012.
Pros:
  • Vibrant colours
  • Supports hi-res audio
  • Strong camera
  • Good build
Cons:
  • Picture needs stronger contrast
  • Sound needs more refinement

Huawei P8 Lite Review

There's a burgeoning market for unlocked phones among shoppers who want quality handsets without spending flagship bucks. The Huawei P8 Lite joins the fray with a 5-inch display, 13-megapixel camera and dual SIM card slots, all for a very reasonable $249.
Pros:
  • Good camera
  • Dual SIM card slots
Cons:
  • Short battery life
  • Runs older Android OS
  • Low display resolution

Huawei P8 Lite (2015) review

From the iPhone to a $20 Nokia, every smartphone is made in China. Motorola attempted to bring manufacturing back to the US with the launch of the original Moto X, but that ended up only lasting a year.
