A mate 8 with SD 820 and QHD screen will have 70+ hours battery life as oppose to 100+ hours of current mate 8.

    Adiyel, 06 Jul 2016I am probably one of the only people that wishes this thing... moresd 650 and 652 are built on outdated 28 nm process. Kirin 950 has the same number A72/A57 cores as sd 652 however 16 nm FinFET makes it much more energy efficient. I personally prefer efficiency over performance. So for me even the 16 nm Kirin 650 with 8 A57 cores is better than sd 650/652 .

        AnonD-276592, 06 Jul 2016Looks good, just stinky name.Well, the Maimang 4 was the Chinese G8, so I doubt that "Maimang 5" will be the international name, if it does come out in other countries.

As for the names of the phones, take a look at the Huawei line up which you can find here on GSMA, there is not a single one with a Chinese sounding name! So your argument is null and void.

                I am probably one of the only people that wishes this thing shipped with the Kirin SoC instead of the SD650/652. But whatever...

                    So, you shouldn't be commenting on a international site .
                    Maybe you should be commenting on a local one .
                    And for your kind information it's going to be G9 in international market.

                                  No wonder Chinese phones can't compete at international scene. Even their phone names sounds Chinese which have difficulty in pronunciation.
                                  Huawei brand can't go far. Perhaps only at home country China.

                                    Exactly what I was hoping for, mate 8 with more manageable size. I only hope that the camera is more improved one.
