Huawei Honor P 8. Huawei P8 - Specifications
Huawei P8 continues the glorious traditions of the flagship line of smartphones. This gadget was announced in a big way in April 2015. He successfully preserved the design developments of his predecessors, and also acquired completely new hardware.
Appearance and ergonomics
The high-quality all-metal body of the Huawei P8 immediately inspires respect. Designers from Huawei claim that they were inspired by book binding, which is made by hand. The result is a kind of classic with a modern twist. And if the smartphone looks recognizable from the front, the back has undergone changes. The back panel has lost glass, but has improved ergonomic properties thanks to slightly rough aluminum. Now fingerprints will not actively collect on the case. The emphasis was on practicality and elegance at the same time. At the same time, the device is as compact as possible, and the build quality is at a truly highest level. Dimensions of P8: height - 145 mm, width - 72 mm, thickness - 6.4 mm, weight - 145 g. Case color: silver, champagne, black.
Display
The Huawei P8 uses a 5.2-inch diagonal IPS screen. The viewing angles here are maximum, and the picture quality is always excellent. Almost natural color rendition is pleasing to the eye, and Full HD resolution at such sizes creates amazing detail. You can also customize the colors yourself. We are pleasantly surprised by the automatic brightness adjustment, which does its job well. The anti-reflective coating does not cause any complaints, since the information remains readable in the sun.
Hardware and performance
The Huawei P8 smartphone is equipped with a progressive 64-bit Kirin 930 processor with eight cores (Cortex-A53) and a maximum frequency of 2000 MHz. It uses a Mali-T628 MP4 graphics accelerator, as well as 3 GB of RAM. The user is allocated only 16 GB for file storage, which is very little for a flagship. However, only 10 GB is actually available. MicroSD cards up to 256 GB can be used. EMUI 3.1 acts as an exclusive shell, and the smartphone is controlled using the very popular Android 5.0 OS.
The filling turned out to be quite productive. So, in the AnTuTu test, the P8 gadget manages to score 45,000 points. The performance of the device is noticeable not only during everyday use, but also when running serious games. For example, AAA class projects (WoT, GTA, Asphalt 8) work at high speed and maximum effects. In Ice Storm Extreme, the device shows a result of 5700 points.
Communication and sound
It is worth noting that Huawei P8 supports all domestic LTE network bands. It can also work in HSDPA and GSM networks. Wireless modules include Bluetooth 4.1 and Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n 2.4 GHz. The device receives the signal very reliably, and any network is caught well. The clear sound of the conversational speaker can also please you. As for the multimedia speaker, its volume is not the most impressive, but the sound is loud and clear.
Camera
During the presentation of the Huawei P8, a lot of attention was paid to the new generation 13-megapixel camera. Sony's sensor is now four-color (RGBW). Optical stabilization has appeared, which was not present in smartphones of this series. A special DSLR processor is dedicated for this purpose. Aperture 2.0 is useful for night photography. The camera menu is extremely convenient, there are a large number of useful modes. You can also change the focus point. There is an interesting “Light Drawing” mode, which is useful in the evening. The camera boasts excellent macro. Even at night, the smartphone takes beautiful pictures, and even more so in the daytime. You can only record videos in Full HD, since 4K is not supported. The front 8-megapixel camera with a fixed focus distance will also please you. The “Decoration” mode will help get rid of skin blemishes.
conclusions
The Huawei P8 may not be a perfect flagship, but it has stepped forward in literally everything much further than its predecessor. For 30,000 rubles (at the start of sales), the user gets a truly beautiful smartphone with good hardware and two excellent cameras. This is the optimal solution for those who do not yet have enough money or feel sorry for the top solutions from Samsung and Apple.
Pros:
- Performance.
- Screen.
- Cameras (front and main).
- Build quality.
- Price.
Minuses:
- Lack of NFC.

Video reviews
Huawei has introduced a new smartphone from its sister brand Honor 8C. The new product is a logical continuation and is aimed at the budget segment of the market. The characteristics correspond to the positioning and price. The phone is built on an inexpensive but strong Snapdragon 632 hardware platform. There is a dual camera, but the sensors are modest. The screen is large, but with HD resolution. Noteworthy is the battery capacity - 4000 mAh. And the price, which can be called very attractive.
Honor 8C: characteristics in one line
Let's get acquainted with the new product in the usual format of characteristics in one line. The eager reader will find all the key specifications of the Honor 8C here. Those who want to know more are invited to read the subsequent sections of the publication.
- Processor Snapdragon 632, 14 nm, Adreno 506.
- RAM: 4 GB.
- Internal memory: 32 GB and 64 GB, there is a microSD slot.
- Battery 4000 mAh.
- Screen 6.26 inches, IPS LCD, 1520 by 720 pixels (19:9).
- Dual camera: 13 MP + 2 MP.
- Operating system Android 8.1 Oreo + EMUI 8.2.
Let's highlight a powerful battery, which, with an economical processor and an HD+ screen, can provide excellent operating time on a single charge. Of interest is the new Snapdragon 632 chip. If our memory serves us correctly, this is the first time we have seen this processor in commercial smartphones. Snapdragon 632 was introduced in the summer of 2018 along with Snapdragon 439 and S429; You can read about the new Qualcomm chipsets.
Honor 8C: hardware specifications
How developers choose processors for is unknown. Some models receive , others - . Apparently, the choice is dictated by production capacity. If there are not enough home chips, the model is released on Snapdragon. In the case of Honor 8C, the logic could be different. This is a budget phone, the main advantage of which is its affordable price. Accordingly, it immediately disappears; all that remains is to choose between Snapdragon chips.
Snapdragon 632 is a good choice. The chipset is the successor to the famous 600 series, the successor to the Snapdragon 625. It is built on Kryo 250 CPU cores. Kryo 250 is a simplified version of Kryo 260, which we see in the S636 and S660. The cores in the S632 processor operate at 1.8 GHz, but are divided into two clusters - powerful and efficient. Graphics accelerator - Adreno 506, like Snapdragon 625.
The Honor 8C will be in perfect order with its speed, and you can also play games comfortably. The choice of RAM volume is correct - 4 GB. Internal memory - 32 GB or 64 GB. We decided not to place any more so as not to go out of the price range. There is a slot for memory expansion.
Honor 8C: camera, battery, screen
Camera. The Honor 8C smartphone has a dual rear camera. Main sensor resolution 13 MP, but I would like to highlight the light optics with aperture F/1.8. The second module is used to analyze the depth of the scene and defocus the background in portrait mode. The resolution here is modest (2 megapixels), the aperture is F/2.4.
Screen. The main disadvantage of the Honor 8C smartphone is the screen. The diagonal is large, 6.26 inches, but here is the resolution - 1520 by 720 pixels. Obviously, the choice in favor of an HD screen is dictated by the need to reduce the price of the phone and give it another competitive advantage - an attractive price.
Battery. The disadvantage in the form of an HD screen is partly compensated by another characteristic of the Honor 8C - a powerful battery on 4000 mAh. In combination with an efficient Snapdragon 632 chipset and an HD display, such a battery can make the new product one of the leaders in battery life ratings.
All characteristics of Honor 8C can be seen in the table, after which we talk about the price and release date of the new product.

Representatives of the P series have a stunning design, but a rather weak filling, but the new product has changed this radically. In the spring of 2015, the company presented its brainchild P8. What will surprise you with this device?
Design
The smartphone turned out to be quite attractive. The use of aluminum and steel gives the device not only a degree of solidity, but also strength. We also paid attention to the front side of the device. The phone has a completely glass front.
There were no significant changes in the location of external parts. The front side houses the speaker, display, indicator and sensors. are directly on the display. The back side has a camera, flash and, of course, a logo. The end on the right houses the volume control, card slots and the power button. On the bottom side there is a speaker, microphone and USB socket. The headset jack is located on the top end along with the microphone.
All external elements are also made of metal. The case is well assembled, so it is impossible to detect creaks and gaps. The manufacturer stated that the device is made of a single piece of aluminum.
Overall the design of the device is amazing. Combining solidity and elegance in one device, the manufacturer also added unusual colors. The Huawei P8 smartphone will be available in colors such as champagne and titanium gray.
Camera
Huawei P8 Lite has 13 megapixels with a Sony module. In addition, the device received an RGBW matrix, autofocus and many useful settings. The photo quality is excellent. The camera has the necessary image sharpness and saturation.
The device also includes video recording. The phone shoots HD videos at 30 frames per second. Accordingly, there is no doubt about the quality of the recording.
We equipped Huawei P8 Lite with an 8-megapixel front camera. This front camera will be a godsend for lovers of self-portraits. The front camera also has a lot of settings and different shooting modes.
Display
The screen installed in Huawei P8 did not disappoint either. The review will please you with the presence of a 5.2-inch diagonal with an IPS matrix. The smartphone has 1920 by 1080 pixels and 424 ppi. An interesting feature is the ability to work with the display while wearing gloves.
The number of pixels corresponds to Full HD quality. There are no complaints about the device's behavior in the sun. There is more than enough brightness, and the display hardly fades. The Huawei P8 will be pleased with the overview of the angles. There is no image distortion observed. In fact, one glance is enough to appreciate the best aspects of the screen.
Hardware
The device was equipped with a new HiSilicon Kirin 930 processor, which has two blocks of four cores with a frequency of 2.0 GHz and 1.5 GHz. It should be noted that the processor is 64-bit. The RAM is as much as 3 gigabytes. The role of the graphics accelerator in the device is played by the Mali-T628.
In general, the “filling” turned out to be excellent. It is noticeable that the manufacturer decided not to skimp on hardware and install the best in its flagship.
Things are going well with native memory as well. The device has 16 gigabytes, but a little more than 10 GB is available. Expansion with a flash drive is possible up to 128 GB, but there is a drawback here. To install a memory card, the owner will have to give up one SIM card.
The smartphone turned out to be quite powerful. The hardware can handle absolutely all programs and modern games. The only thing is that the phone gets a little warm under heavy load.
System
The smartphone runs on Android 5.0 and will soon be able to upgrade to 6.0. The user can easily install the new version via FOTA or custom firmware.
On top of the system is the proprietary EMUI 3.1 interface. The shell is perfectly optimized and works perfectly. Unfortunately, there is no separate folder for applications, and the programs are located directly on the desktop.
Autonomy
There are also minor drawbacks. The device received a definitely small battery capacity, only 2680 mAH. This would be enough for the middle class, but not enough for an advanced flagship.
With average use, the battery will last 8 hours, but active use will shorten its life to four hours. This is a pretty bad indicator, especially for a flagship. The non-removable battery also makes the situation worse. The only option is to use the charge carefully and save on display brightness.
Equipment
The device comes with a set of elements familiar to a modern flagship. The device box contains a headset, an adapter, a USB cable, instructions, and a clip for SIM cards.
Price
The price of Huawei P8 cools the fuse somewhat. The price fluctuates around 18-30 thousand rubles. Of course, the cost is significantly lower than that of its competitors, which is what makes the device attractive.
Positive reviews
An incredible number of advantages make Huawei P8 attractive. Owner reviews note the rich and bright display. High resolution almost eliminated pixelation from the display.
A nice detail was the reliability of the smartphone. Users note excellent assembly and the absence of extraneous squeaks. Although this is not surprising given such a detailed design.
The hardware of the Huawei P8 does not leave anyone indifferent either. Reviews highlight the performance and speed of the device.
A nice feature was the successfully optimized shell. Very often the device freezes due to the proprietary interface, but in the P8 there are no problems with this.
Photography lovers liked the device's camera. Many additional functions and detailed settings contribute to high-quality photos.
An equally important quality is the fairly low price for a flagship. The price is more than affordable and can sway many users in favor of Huawei.
Negative reviews
The bad thing was the battery of the Huawei P8. Reviews report dependence on the outlet. Some owners noted that the device does not accept car charging.
There is also a smaller flaw in the Huawei P8. Reviews from owners express bewilderment at the need to sacrifice a SIM card for a flash drive. This problem can be solved only by choosing the 64 GB version of the device.
Bottom line
We can say that Huawei has found the perfect balance of functionality, design and cost. The new product contains everything that even the most sophisticated user needs. Undoubtedly, the P8 will find many fans.

Positioning
The line of Huawei P-series smartphones has been developing since 2012, and even then, at the start, the P1 was a successful and interesting smartphone, whose features and ideas formed the basis for the development of this series. Huawei Ascend P1 could not be called an unconditional flagship at the time of its release, but this device looked balanced and moderate in everything - in characteristics, in ease of use, and finally in cost. Three years and several models in this line later, Huawei introduced the P8 - another smartphone from the category of balanced devices: not too large, but not small, moderately productive and with the necessary set of capabilities, as well as characteristics close to flagships. In this review, I will try to talk about all the features of the new device from Huawei – P8.
Design, body materials
From a design point of view, I can’t call the P8 an interesting or bright device; it’s a typical thin piece of metal without any distinctive features. At the same time, the smartphone looks high-quality and dignified, and one cannot say that it is ugly. The result was moderately simple, albeit without recognizable details, but a universal device.
The main feature of the Huawei Ascend P7 case was the combination of a metal frame and glass panels on the front and back sides. Yes, it's impressive, but from a practical point of view, this solution has problems. The first is that the glass gets dirty, and it’s noticeable. Secondly, if a smartphone falls on any hard surface (asphalt, tiles, etc.), there is a high chance of getting the case, that is, the glass, cracked at the front or back. In Huawei P8, the company has changed the materials used; here we see an all-aluminum body, with the exception of the panel in the upper area near the camera, where the antennas are located, as well as the screen. The P8 may not look as impressive on a store shelf or in your hand, but otherwise the metal body is a better solution. The device still looks impressive, but it has become more practical than the previous model: marks and prints on the metal “back” are almost invisible, and there is less chance of damaging the smartphone if it falls. In my opinion, in terms of materials used, the new P8 is a step forward.
Only the front panel can be called a brand, and even then it’s a stretch. Traces and prints on it remain barely noticeable and can be easily removed.
In Russia, the smartphone will go on sale in three colors: silver, gold and black.
Assembly
The build quality is excellent, and I make this conclusion not based on one sample, but on several devices: I looked at the first P8 at the company’s office, then studied it again at the presentation, and finally, to prepare the review, I used the P8 as my main phone for more than two weeks
The trays for SIM cards are adjusted as precisely as possible to the plane of the edge, you can swipe your finger and feel the flat surface, the buttons “sit” securely in their places, nothing plays or dangles. During my use, my smartphone fell to the floor (at home) several times from a height of about one and a half meters, but no damage appeared on the body of the device.
Dimensions
Small frames to the left and right of the screen, minimal body thickness and reasonable margins at the top and bottom with a screen diagonal of 5.2"" make the Huawei P8 quite a compact smartphone even in the category of five-inch models, not to mention devices with a 5.2" diagonal. It is also important that the P8 is not just compact, but also ergonomic - due to the small bevels of the body at the transition points of the planes, the smartphone does not crash into the palm, but fits comfortably into it. Holding and using the device is a pleasure. Compared to models with screens of 5.5" or larger, the device from Huawei seems incredibly convenient, and compared to many phones with a 5" display, the P8 is more compact.
In terms of ease of use, Huawei P8 can even be compared with Xiaomi Mi4, and this is one of the most balanced five-inch devices in terms of size, along with the P7. It’s not for nothing that I pay such close attention to the dimensions of the device at first glance. It seems to me that balanced dimensions in 2015-2016 will become one of the most important advantages of smartphones. When every second device is equipped with 3-4 GB of RAM, a high-quality FullHD screen has become the norm, and chipset manufacturers compete in the frequency of eight-core processors, the overall ease of use of a smartphone comes to the fore. And in this regard, the new P8 looks very advantageous.
Here is a comparison of the dimensions of Huawei P8 with some popular models:
- Apple iPhone 6(4.7”) – 138.1 x 67 x 6.9 mm, 129 grams
- HTC One M9(5”) – 144.6 x 69.7 x 9.6 mm, 157 grams
- (5.2”) – 144.9 x 72.1 x 6.4 mm, 144 grams
- Samsung Galaxy S6(5.1”) – 143.4 x 70.5 x 6.8 mm, 138 grams
- Xiaomi Mi4(5”) – 139.2 x 68.5 x 8.9 mm, 149 grams
Compared to HTC One M8
Compared to Meizu MX4 Pro
Compared to Nokia 3310
Compared to YotaPhone 2
Despite the quite compact dimensions of the Huawei P8, the smartphone settings have several options for simplifying one-handed operation of the device, as well as various functions related to gestures and movements - muting the sound when flipping the screen, and so on.
Controls
In terms of controls, Huawei P8 is a typical Android smartphone with a couple of hardware keys and on-screen touch buttons. The hardware buttons are located on the right edge: on top is the volume key, below is the power button. Even lower are two slots for SIM cards and a memory card. One of these slots is combined with microSD, so you can choose what to use this slot for - to install a second SIM card or for a memory card. The left edge of the smartphone is empty.
At the top end there is an additional microphone (noise reduction) and a 3.5 mm mini-jack. On the bottom there is the main microphone, a microUSB connector and a grille for two speakers.
The on-screen keypad includes three buttons: “Back”, “Home” and calling the running program manager.
If desired, the location of the buttons can be changed; a button for calling up the notification shade and a button for hiding the navigation bar itself are also added here. It is very comfortable!
When you touch any of the on-screen buttons, the device vibrates slightly.
Unfortunately, you cannot unlock your smartphone by double tapping the screen. Perhaps this feature will appear with new firmware, because in the previous Huawei smartphone I tested, Honor 6 Plus, I also did not have it. At the same time, after the review, several readers immediately sent screenshots of their devices purchased not in Russia, where the ability to unlock with a double tap is present.
On the front side at the top there is a speaker, an 8 MP camera peephole and sensors.
A factory thin protective film is glued to the front panel; the quality of the film is such that it is difficult to see it the first time without looking closely. I didn’t take it off precisely for this reason; the film is virtually invisible.
Screen
Huawei P8 uses a high-quality IPS LCD matrix with a 5.2" diagonal and a resolution of 1920x1080 pixels. Screen with maximum viewing angles. No matter what angle you tilt it at, diagonally, edges or ends, the picture is not distorted. There is a good reserve of brightness. The color rendition of the display is close to natural, and in the settings you can always adjust the color temperature, making the picture on the screen warmer or cooler. Personally, I preferred to turn up the temperature a little on my P8 towards cooler tones.
Automatic brightness adjustment works very well, as is the case with the Honor 6 Plus. Having enabled this option, I forgot that sometimes on other smartphones I set the brightness manually depending on the conditions (in the daytime - one brightness, in the evening at home - another).
An important point related to the Huawei P8 screen is the standard design themes. Below in the text I will return to the “topics”, but now I want to note one important feature. If we take all the well-known Chinese brands: Lenovo, Huawei, ZTE, Xiaomi, Meizu and even some smaller ones, then the proprietary shell from Huawei from a design point of view will probably be the most unsightly. We are talking specifically about the design, and not about its capabilities. How does this relate to the screen and its perception? Very much, in fact. When you pick up the Huawei P8 for the first time, turn it on and see the scary basic theme with khaki-colored icons, it seems as if the device’s screen is at least dim or dim. It’s worth changing the theme to a more juicy one or simply filling the start screen with application icons instead of basic ones and changing the picture, and now you see a good display. In the end, I stayed with the basic design theme, because, having sifted through about 4 GB of themes for EMUI, I didn’t find anything worthy, but take this point into account. The display itself in the P8 is excellent, but its perception when turned on for the first time may be slightly spoiled by not the most successful “themes”.
In the P8 settings there is a “smart film” item. By turning on this mode, judging by the description, you can transfer the functions of the on-screen keys to the area under the display, and also assign selected actions to touching the corners of the case on the top left and right of the screen, provided that there is a special film on the glass. This mode does not work with factory film.
Camera
Probably half of the entire Huawei P8 presentation was devoted to the device’s camera. Key features: Sony's new 13MP four-color RGBW sensor, optical image stabilization and dedicated ISP. In theory, the camera should be one of the best among all smartphones on the market in any shooting conditions: day, evening, night, as well as in low light (f/2.0 will come in handy here).
The camera interface is simple and clear, switching modes, turning on HDR and other essential settings are collected on one screen, it can be called up by clicking on the options button, more detailed settings can also be opened by clicking on the options button already in this window.
Burst shooting modes are available, after which you can select the best frame, as well as a mode that is already familiar to all top-end devices with choosing the focus point on the final image (the camera takes several frames with different focal lengths and merges them into one). There is a “decoration” mode for both the front and main cameras, in which a retouching effect is applied to the skin, wrinkles, pimples, and so on are smoothed out.
The “light” mode is interesting; a lot of attention was also paid to it at the presentation. The point is this: you press the “shoot” button, and the camera begins to photograph one frame, while the picture is taken in such a mode as if you had chosen a shutter speed value of about a minute, conventionally. But in reality, you don't choose the shutter speed before shooting, you simply stop photographing after as many seconds as you need. This results in shooting with a shutter speed set at the end of the photographing process. The mode is interesting, and using it together with a tripod on the Huawei P8 you can take unusual shots at night. However, I note that this mode is, in fact, a piece of the manual mode present in HTC, Lenovo, Meizu and Xiaomi smartphones; there you can also select the shutter speed value manually, but before you start shooting.
Now about the quality of the photos.
I'll start with the main thing - Huawei P8 has excellent macro. The minimum distance to the subject when shooting is about 3-4 centimeters. For example, in Meizu MX4 Pro with an excellent camera this distance is about 6-7 centimeters, and in HTC One M8, also with good macro photography, about 7-8 centimeters. At the same time, for macro photography in Huawei P8 you don’t even need to turn on any separate mode, you just point your smartphone at the object as close as possible and take a picture - that’s all.
When shooting on a bright sunny day, the photos turn out generally good, although personally, when studying the images, I can’t shake the feeling that the frames are a little lacking in overall richness. Minus - in the center of the frame you can often notice the transition of the picture into a pink color scheme; this “feature” is also typical, for example, for some HTC smartphones and is most clearly manifested when shooting a white sheet with text. At the same time, I would like to note the excellent performance of optical stabilization - even when you are simply moving your smartphone around in search of a frame, the operation of this system is visible on the screen, the picture moves smoothly, it is more comfortable to shoot on the P8 with OIS than on devices without a “stabilizer”, often there Where on another smartphone I would need to take 3-4 frames to choose one sharp one, on Huawei P8 I simply took one photo and got the desired sharp photo.
Shooting at night is perhaps one of the strengths of the Huawei P8 camera. Yes, in complete darkness there is still some blurring and blurring of frames, but if you compare the final night photos with pictures from many other smartphones (I compared with LG G3 and G4, for example), the difference is in favor of the P8, and it is noticeable “by eye” . Photos are sharp, with fine details visible, albeit with a noticeable presence of digital noise.
When shooting at night, you can manually set the shutter speed and ISO.
The camera also has a shooting mode with effects and HDR, the latter works very well and accurately.
Front-camera. The front camera with a resolution of 8 MP and a fixed focal length in the Huawei P8 is very good if we are talking specifically about shooting portraits. Yes, there is no autofocus here, but this does not prevent you from taking photos with good detail: all the pimples and black “things” on the face are visible, and if desired, they can be removed by turning on the “decoration” mode.
Video recording. The smartphone records video in a maximum resolution of 1080p, the device does not have tracking autofocus, you can only select focus by tapping on the screen, which now, when this feature is available in almost every smartphone, looks rather strange. But there is software stabilization in addition to optical stabilization; if you turn on both, the image turns out very smooth. I suggest you evaluate the overall quality of the video in the attached files with examples.
If we evaluate the camera in the Huawei P8 based on some individual shooting modes, it has strengths and weaknesses: excellent macro, good shooting at night, but at the same time, a lack of richness when shooting on a clear sunny day and average video quality. The front camera is excellent, there are no complaints about it. As for the main one, I cannot call it one of the best among modern smartphones. Yes, it is more or less universal and allows you to get decent photos in difficult conditions, but paying for it is not the most convincing quality when shooting in seemingly ideal situations on a sunny day. Perhaps with software updates Huawei will improve this aspect, because the potential of this sensor on the P8 with optical stabilization is simply enormous.
Autonomous operation
The smartphone uses a non-removable Li-Pol battery with a capacity of 2680 mAh. In my case, Huawei P8 worked on average until the evening with the following mode: 40-60 minutes of calls, 10-20 text messages, Gmail, 3-4 hours of listening to music and about 1-2 hours of active use of the mobile Internet (Instagram, Twitter, Facebook messenger, browser) plus the use of a camera (about 50 pictures, conditionally). The performance is not the best; the device's operating time is inferior to such smartphones as LG G3, HTC One M8 and M9 and many others. However, if you, like me, are used to constantly carrying an external battery with you or charging your smartphone as soon as possible, this will not be a problem. Not the best operating time indicators - the price for the thin and compact body of the device.
Platform, memory
The smartphone is built on Huawei’s own platform – HiSilicon Kirin 930/935 (depending on the version and memory size) with a quad-core 2 GHz (Cortex-A53) and quad-core 1.5 GHz (Cortex-A53) processor. Graphics subsystem (GPU) – Mali-T628 MP4. The device has 3 GB of RAM and 16 or 64 GB of internal memory for storing user data. There is also a slot for a memory card, combined with a slot for a second SIM card.
There are no performance issues with the device. Everything, from the shell and launching programs to games like GTA San Andreas and WoT Blitz, works quickly and without lag at maximum graphics settings. Below are the test results of Honor P8 in the Antutu benchmark.
I didn’t notice any noticeable heating of the smartphone’s body (as was the case with the HTC One M9) even under load.
Interfaces
The smartphone works in GSM, HSDPA and LTE networks; all LTE bands common in Russia are supported. You can turn wireless interfaces on and off through settings or using one of the notification curtain pages.
To synchronize with a PC and transfer data, the included microUSB cable and USB 2.0 interface are used.
The smartphone has support for USB On-The-Go (USB OTG) – you can connect flash drives and other storage devices, for example, a camera, to the device via an adapter to transfer pictures from it to the device’s memory.
Bluetooth. Built-in Bluetooth 4.1 module with A2DP and LE support.
Wi-Fi (802.11 a/b/g/n). The Wi-Fi module in Huawei P8 does not support the 5 GHz band, only the familiar and common 2.4. The module works flawlessly.
Wi-Fi router. Typically for Android smartphones, there is the ability to “share” a 2G/3G/4G Internet connection via Wi-Fi. In the settings, when starting for the first time, you need to select a network name and password (WPA2).
NFC. The smartphone has an NFC module, it works correctly: you can check the balance on your transport card and write tickets to it or top it up when you install the appropriate application.
Navigation
The smartphone has GPS/Glonass support; searching for satellites takes a minimum amount of time, from 5 to 15 seconds. There is no special navigation software in the smartphone.
Software, EMUI 3.0
The smartphone runs Android 5.x, using the proprietary Emotion UI – EMUI version 3.1 as the shell. According to the general logic, the shell resembles MIUI and Flyme, and its roots go back to iOS - there is no separate application menu, all programs are collected on desktops.
There are many detailed settings and useful things: displaying network speed, displaying or hiding the operator’s name, changing the location of the navigation buttons at the bottom of the screen, customizable “do not disturb” mode, and so on.
There is illogicality in some shell solutions. Let's say when you see a notification about a new event (message, missed call, WhatsApp, etc.) on the lock screen, to go to it, you need to swipe the notification card to the right. And when you see the same notification while on the home screen or in some application, to go to it, you just need to touch the card. It's inconvenient at first, it takes some getting used to.
But most of all, what upsets me personally is a seemingly trifle, but very annoying in my case. The fact is that all themes for EMUI change some of the application icons to their own. And I couldn’t find a topic where such a substitution would not exist. And to make sure that there are no such themes, I went through about 4 GB of design themes for all versions of EMUI for stock icons. What do I mean by "stock icons"? This is when, having installed Instagram or WhatsApp, you will see the same program icon that is displayed for it on Google Play, that is, intended by the developers. In EMUI, about half of the programs end up with changed icons; this does not in any way affect the usability of the smartphone, but it annoys me, at least. An attempt to remove all the icons in one of the base themes, so that when the theme is installed they are replaced by standard ones from Android, leads to the system “digging out” very old icons from its depths and placing them at the heart of the interface. In general, I have not yet found a solution to overcome this feature of EMUI.
Another feature of EMUI that I personally don't like is that it's too much of a redesign compared to pure Android OS. In this regard, I am closer to the current versions of LG UI and HTC Sense, where the developers tried to leave all the convenient functions from Lollipop - the notification curtain, cards and the logic of working with them on the lock screen and some other things. In EMUI, all these elements have been redone, and if you are switching to Huawei P8 from some device with Android 5.0, you will need to study the interface again.
If you close your eyes to it, as well as to some of the illogicalities of the shell described above, then in general, EMUI turns out to be a quite convenient interface, with many detailed settings and useful options.
Accessories
Along with the presentation of the Huawei P8 smartphone, the company also presented an interesting accessory for it - a cover with an e-ink screen. The accessory is produced by Oaxis, known for producing similar cases under its own brand, and is equipped with a 4.3" e-ink display, its own battery, charging connector and connects to a smartphone via Bluetooth.
Conclusion
I had no complaints about the quality of signal reception while using the Huawei P8. The device picks up the network well, the sound in the conversational speaker is clear, without wheezing or extraneous noise, there is a volume reserve. The vibration alert is felt well in different conditions, including when walking. The volume of the ringing speaker is above average, while the sound is clear and clear, but without wheezing. The presentation also announced the function of quickly searching for a network when leaving an area where there is no network coverage, or disabling the “airplane” mode, but to be honest, there is not much difference here between the Huawei P8 with this function and, say, the LG G4 and Meizu I didn't notice the MX4 Pro without it.
In Russia, the smartphone will go on sale in a single 16 GB version and with two slots for SIM cards, one of which is combined with a slot for microSD. The exact cost of the device for Russia has not yet been determined, but the preliminary price for Huawei P8 will be about 30,000 rubles. If we remember that immediately after the presentation the estimated price tag was announced in the region of 40-45 thousand rubles, 30 thousand now seems more adequate. This is about 10-15 thousand cheaper than the cost of flagships from Samsung, LG, HTC, and if you consider that in terms of characteristics Huawei P8 is not much behind them, and in terms of dimensions it looks even more interesting, the price turns out to be quite acceptable.
Yes, Huawei P8 is far from an ideal smartphone, but the strengths of this device, such as a high-quality display, high operating speed without much heating of the body even under load, moderate dimensions, small thickness and a good main camera combined with an excellent front camera, make the shortcomings forgivable . If you are looking for a compact, modern smartphone with up-to-date specifications, but are not willing to overpay for a flagship from a major manufacturer and for some unnecessary features (like 2560x1440 resolution on a five-inch screen), you should take a closer look at the Huawei P8.
