The eighth revision is a rather logical improvement of an existing model. Neither of which revolution we are not talking. Nevertheless, engineers and designers have done a lot of work on the bugs compared to the previous smartphone. It is worth figuring out what parameters the new Huawei Mate 8 has, and whether it is necessary to single it out among others.

Huawei Mate 8

Design and management

When designing a smartphone case, the main attention was paid to small things. Thorough work was carried out with the joints of the panels, as well as the rear fingerprint module. In general, visual changes in appearance can be called a kind of "polishing" of the flaws of last year's model.

The sensor was made more rounded, like the optics of the main camera. This solution is very well combined with the overall body angularity. The position of the front module has shifted to the opposite side, which also added the effect of novelty. The speaker finally moved to its rightful place - down. Overall impression - the model is prettier.

The smartphone is offered in four exquisite colors: silver, gray, gold and bronze. Each option looks expensive. The dimensions of the smartphone allow you to hold it tightly in your hands, it doesn’t feel bulky at all, although the screen size may seem rather large.In many ways, this effect is achieved by thin frames around the edges of the screen.

In general, the phone Huawei Mate 8 looks more stylish than its predecessor. The design of the smartphone is complete, without falling out of the overall picture of the elements. Dimensions that have not changed much with the time of the previous sample, still give a comfortable user experience from using the device.

Screen features

Smartphone Huawei mate 8 has on board full FHD display. In this situation, the model is one of the few who maintains this qualitative trend. Most of the competitors manage to install QHD and 4K screens of similar power. Huawei engineers have this opportunity, but there will be less practical sense. After all, the more the resolution of the phone screen, the more it requires energy to display information.

Important! Unfortunately, it was not without controversial decisions. In this revision, the AMOLED matrix has been replaced by IPS. This aspect is reflected in the consumption of electricity is not the best way.

But it is worth testing the display of the smartphone in action, as doubts about the technological solutions disappear. The image on the crane is close to perfect.6 inch touch screen produces confident 368 ppiThis is a very good indicator. Color saturation may seem too "juicy", but this can be partially corrected in the settings. Although with the software part of changing the parameters of the screen, there are also some difficulties. For example, the inability to change the color settings. The overall impressions of the screen are positive, it is easy and pleasant to use. Key parameters at an acceptable level.

Memory and performance

Features Huawei mate 8 has a certain amount of power. For most tasks, they will be quite enough. Kirin processor is equipped eight cores operating on the 16 nm process technology. It sounds very technologically, however, in using the device only confirms the guesswork. Heating and power consumption are minimal.

The graphics accelerator had become very outdated when the gadget came out. However, the good old Mali-T880 MP4 should not be sent to retire. Almost all modern games with current updates are launched and are very worthy. If you wish, you can play full-fledged blockbusters or ports from a PC, iron allows.

RAM either 3 or 4 GB, depending on the completeness. Permanent memory 32 and 64 GB, respectively. Models will differ from market regions and its conjuncture.

Important! There is space for a card up to 256 GB. However, it will be necessary to expand the internal memory only to the detriment of communication, the tray here is combined, either two sims, or a sim + memory card.

As for the support of mobile networks, there is nothing to fear. Smartphone users do not have long and painful search for one or another cellular operator in order to achieve fast and reliable Internet.

operating system

Continuing the review of Huawei mate 8, we should mention the OS that is installed here. The device works on pure Android without a proprietary graphic shell.. One more step towards optimal functionality required in the business segment. Owner reviews claim that the system regularly receives updates, both complex and instant, incl. security systems. The big advantage of the middle and top segment is support device for a long time.

In operation, the phone shows very good results. The device quickly turns on, does not freeze. All touch commands respond quickly, with no minimum expectations.No false positives or touches detected.

Battery and autonomy

The gadget has a large margin of autonomy. The battery, according to tradition, non-removable. In order to replace it, you will have to destroy the taped seam that runs along the entire diagonal of the screen. The battery is made of lithium-polymer materials, its volume is 4000 mAh. Given the diagonal of the screen, it may seem that the battery capacity is not so outstanding. However, here comes into force the platform on which the phone is built. Thanks to the 16nm process technology, power consumption was reduced significantly. On a full two working days, the smartphone, of course, is not enough. Rather, we can talk about days with moderate use and 1.5 days with economical.

Important! The device is equipped with the option of "fast recharging." The phone charges from 0 to 37% in half an hour.

Quality of communication and sound

Thanks to a wide range of supported frequencies, the smartphone demonstrates Outstanding signal quality. Voice is transmitted without distortion and interference. Of course, thick walls, landscape irregularities and weather phenomena can significantly degrade the quality of communication. But there are no complaints about the hardware responsible for communication.

Smartphone Shows good sound. Of course, this is not a musical flagship. You should not expect from it a surround or, on the contrary, “tube” sound with numerous adjustment possibilities. Built-in music player allows you to adjust the basic parameters in the equalizer. Most users of the existing settings will be enough.

Camera Specifications

The gadget is equipped with a camera module from Sony. The resolution is 16 megapixels. Frontalka has modest 8 megapixels today. But the main feature of the front camera is the ability to instantly focus on the object.

Unlike the color of the screen, the camera provides a very natural, not "oversaturated" colors. Fans of customization of the photo module settings will be delighted with the rich menu, balance, ISO sensitivity - there is where to swing.

Shooting in 4K is not, but is it really necessary for this smartphone, given its positioning?

Important! The only drawback of the camera can be considered perhaps that frankly weak night shooting. In all other respects, there are no complaints about the speed of work and the quality of the pictures.

Conclusion

The smartphone is designed primarily for the business segment.However, given its attractive external characteristics and a serious hardware component, we can assume that it will find its buyer in the mass market.

You can buy a smartphone on Aliexpress, where it will cost much cheaper. However, Huawei has a rather wide distribution network in the territory of the Russian Federation. Problems with the choice, ordering and buying a gadget in large retail networks should arise. On average, today a smartphone can buy for 39990 rubles (3 / 32gb) and 43990 rubles (4 / 64gb). The price range can be very wide. During the special events gadget can be found with a good discount. If the manufacturer is able to eliminate some software defects, then the success of the model is ensured.
