What is the Huawei P8?
After testing the waters with its Ascend range, Huawei is hoping to make a more serious mark with the P8. Huawei lacks the recognition of a Samsung, Apple or even HTC, but it hopes to tempt potential suitors with the P8’s iPhone-like aluminum body and slick design, along with some promising specs.

It largely succeeds, too. The P8's octa-core processor, 3GB RAM and high quality camera show it means business, making it a very good option for anyone who isn’t wooed by big names and likes to carry something a little bit different. The fact it's much cheaper than direct rivals certainly helps, too.


Huawei P8 – Design
If someone put the Huawei P8 in your hand and asked you to guess the price, chances are you’d overestimate it. It’s beautifully crafted, taking obvious inspiration from the Apple iPhone 6 and Sony Xperia Z3, but with a more angular look and feel.

The Huawei P8 has some subtle touches of elegance that help differentiate it from the competition, including a smooth glass rectangle section on the back of the phone where the camera sits. We also like the fact that the front face of the phone is clean and branding free, with no home button or unsightly plastic-looking speaker grills – are you paying attention, Samsung?

The chiselled curved edges of the P8 are similar to the Samsung Galaxy S6, while the softly textured metal back of the phone echoes that of the iPhone 5. Huawei hasn’t just taken design cues from its rivals though, it’s also followed the trend different colours with ridiculous names. As a result, the 16GB version P8 is available in Mystic Champagne/Titanium Grey, and a 64GB P8 is available in Prestige Gold and the less ludicrous Carbon Black. Colours may vary by territory, though.

The power button and volume keys on the right hand side of the P8 are the only physical keys on the P8, and they’re our only real gripe with this phone’s design. The power button is miniscule and is so close to the volume keys that it’s easy to to hit the wrong button.

A double tap of the bottom volume key opens the camera and takes a picture when the phone screen is off. It’s a good feature, but it would be easier if the power button was larger, further away or on the opposite side of the phone.

Yet this small weakness doesn’t detract from what’s otherwise a solid and well-built phone. It’s heavier than the iPhone 6 and Samsung Galaxy S6, but it’s lighter than the HTC One M9 and looks as good as any of them despite costing nearly half as much.

Huawei P8 – Screen
5.2-inch; 1080 x 1920 pixels (Full HD); 424ppi; IPS LCD; Gorilla Glass 3

The 5.2-inch screen on the Huawei P8 is a touch larger than the one on the Galaxy S6, but the thin bezel means it doesn’t take up too much more space. And, while it isn’t Quad HD like the S6, it’s one of the finest Full HD screens we’ve seen in a phone. It’s big, it’s bright and it’s useable in all lighting conditions.

Huawei’s Emotion UI includes some options for adjusting the P8 screen’s colour temperature and we used it to counter the phone’s apparent natural bias towards warmer tones. The display options in settings offer a sliding scale between warm and cold, and we found that nudging the slider one position to the right gave us a more natural colour balance.

That isn’t to say that this phone is particularly bad when it comes to colour reproduction, though. Overall, it does a good job of rendering colours vibrantly, but if you pay attention to Red and Magenta tones, it’s clear there is some oversaturation taking place.

Side-by-side with some of the other flagship phones, the P8 manages to hold its own. Next to the Galaxy S6, the P8 appears to deliver slightly punchier colours, but it can’t match it for detail, deep blacks or clean white tones. Held up next to the HTC One M9, the P8 edges its more expensive rival.

The P8’s screen looks good at acute viewing angles and adapts to changing light conditions well, too. This is one particular area where the P8 really impresses, though it’s by no means the only area – it’s a great screen all round.

Do you wait until the last minute before undertaking tasks and assignments? Most people will procrastinate until they can wait no more and then rush to beat the deadline. When it comes to taxes, there are quite some pitfalls of taking this route.

Very nice and powerful mobile phone users as student writers especially if you consider the price. Have it now for 5 weeks, occasionally are jerkers when loading the standard launcher, but not bad.
