Review: Huawei Mate 8
The Huawei Mate now already lasts some years. The Mate 8 is the Chinese company arrived at the third generation. If you are familiar with the appearance of the Mate 7 2014, the Mate 8 will be familiar. Namely Huawei has adhered to the aluminum design. The finish is excellent and it all looks just got a little tighter than the previous generation.
From square to round Huawei was the Mate 7, the second manufacturer, after Apple, which managed to build a well-functioning fingerprint reader in a smartphone. This Samsung crossed the windward: that had been previously with the reader on the Galaxy S5, but they did not exactly spotless. On the equally Huawei made by Nexus 6P the square of the reader Mate 7 was replaced by a circular one. The same reader also sits on the Mate 8. He still works great and is still under the camera on the back. Especially with a device that placement is convenient with a screen diagonal of more than 15 centimeters (6 inches), because your finger is automatically in the neighborhood at the time you pick up the phone. A disadvantage is that the reader is not accessible when the device is lying flat on his back. Then a fingerprint reader to been transformed convenient home button.
Innovatory Huawei has a subsidiary that makes chips for use in mobile devices, called Hisilicon. This means that the company is relatively quick access to new technologies and do not have to wait for example Qualcomm considers ripe time to deliver processors. The Kirin 950 processor in the Mate 8 is also a new kind of cores on board. Which are again a bit faster and more efficient than the generation of the previous year. It is also important that they use much less energy / heat production in particular the cores was in the high-end Snapdragon 810 last year. In terms of graphics performance remain Kirin chips always something behind the competition; this is also the case with the 950. In practice, moreover, he has enough computing power to be able to play the heavier Android games well. The unit also features 3 gigabytes of memory and a via Micro SD expandable storage capacity of 32 gigabytes.
Same In addition to innovation is on the Mate 8 also mentions things that have remained the same. First of all, there is the panel. It still has a resolution of 1920×1080, where the rest of the Android market has already embraced 2560×1440 pixels. With Full HD is excellent work on this unit, but this format is the difference 2560×1440 something to see. The quality of the screen is further, moreover, good, with a good maximum brightness and contrast ditto. The second thing that has remained largely the same, the Emotion UI skin over Android that Huawei has developed. It’s a pretty drastic and heavy peel, something we would rather not see. Fortunately, most of the annoying messages that were already there in earlier versions.
Upgrade for camera Like all manufacturers nowadays Huawei puts much emphasis on the camera. Which is then also provided with an upgrade. The main camera has a sensor resolution of 16 megapixels, while the ‘selfie-camera on the front has 8 million pixels. With both cameras shoot excellent pictures.
Conclusion Very interesting large smartphone that impresses on almost all surfaces. The resolution of the screen was more liked, but the relatively low price makes up for it.
Pros:
Excellent build quality, good camera, fast processor, good price.
negatives:
Screen stays behind, peel Android quite heavy.
List price: € 599, –
